How to Change Background Color of the Header?

[Richey]

Hey guys,

I don't get it. How can I change the color of the "header" in IPS 4.0?

It's easy with the wizard but I have to do it via "custom.css" because I want to set an image.

header{
    background:whatever;
} 

does not work. 

Thanks for your help!

​Try #ipsLayout_header > header instead.

Avoid targeting just 'header' specifically as that can be used for other types of headers within a site.
