I have done the same thing to my Graffito template - as far as adding a mycustomstyle.css to the css directory and the mycustomstyle.php to the features directory but it also is not working.
I thought by adding those files you would not need to add the code to the index file?

A template is only as good as the content that goes into it

Hi there prim!
I'm under graffito V1.0 and Gantry 4.1.4.
I was able to run with the following code lines added on my custom CSS file:
body.main-bg-purple {
background-size: cover;
background-color: #007749 !important;
}
.main-bg-purple {
background-color: none;
background-image: none;
}
.main-bg-purple .rt-bg {
background-image: none;
}
But I still keep index.php modified with the style CSS file there.
Hugs

Hi
I want to change the background color of Showcase A module. I assume I have to create a custom css file but I can't get it to work. I want to change the background from black to purple #71487A.
I downloaded the mycustomstyle.zip - unzipped the the file- uploaded mycustomstyle.php to template feature folder
Created a custom CSS file
@charset "utf-8";
/* CSS Document */
#rt-showcase .rt-block {background-color: #71487A}
I loaded it to /public_html/bcs-build2.com/templates/rt_leviathan/css
Nothing happened.
Joomla 2.5.8
www.bcs-build2.com
Any thoughts?

Is this information valid anymore?
I know that since Gantry 4 you can add a custom css file to certain templates by creating a custom css file named 'exact_templatename-custom.css' and placing it in the template's css folder.
Does this method work for the stock Gantry template as well, or are the instructions provided above still valid?
Thanks,
Will

I am trying to change the background in the attached document. I added the mycustomstyle.css and mycustomstyle.php files as suggested and included the only code in the mycustomstyle.css file as:
/* .rt-container.main-surround #rt-header {
background-color: white !important;
} */
As suggested in another post. Is there anything else I need to do? The above is not working.

Not sure exactly what you're trying to achieve, but several things I can say.
1. Always include a link to your site.
2. What template are you using? On what version of Joomla? The custom CSS methods are different for different versions of Joomla and different versions of the Gantry Framework.
3. The code you put there from your CSS file is commented out. Anything between /* and */ is ignored.
What you have:/* .rt-container.main-surround #rt-header { background-color: white !important; } */
What it should be:.rt-container.main-surround #rt-header { background-color: white !important; }
By commenting out the CSS, you are teeling the browser not to use anything that is commented out. - Thank you.

1. Site = working local on a new site editing the Voxel template.
2. Joomla 3.0
I am trying to change the color behind the section and next to where the logo exists. In the picture previously attached it does not appear to be assigned to any position. I want the entire section to be black, without changing the entire theme. Hopefully the new image will help explain.
