1) Are you editing the correct theme.cfg file? Check that the STYLE-variable
(Administration -> Preferences-> Template) is the same name as the directory
the theme.cfg you are editing is.

2) I suppose that you are editing the correct region-files, in the correct
directory. All changes you make should be visible right after each time you
save that file..

3) Did you do this in the theme.cfg?

Variable TOPCONTENT_BG   #738C8C

.topcontent {
  background-color: __TOPCONTENT_BG__;
  color: __MAINCONTENT_TEXT__;
  font-family: __MAINCONTENT_FONT__;
  font-weight: __MAINCONTENT_WEIGHT__;
  font-size: __MAINCONTENT_FONTSIZE__;
}

4) Have you checked in the design-editor that you have the correct
page-template selected (Content -> index.html)?


5) Did you put the class=topcontent in the correct place? Change the border
(border=1) in that table you want to modify. This way you can check that you
are editing the correct table.




I built yesterday completely new theme, and I'm sure these steps should
work. First I had the same problems you had, but then I figured out that I
forgot to specify a new "style" in the variable-dir (I created a new dir
under the templates directory)



Hope this helps.
