Message Center Background Color

Where would i find this? Ive put a red box around the area i would like to change.

It uses the content_background style variable. Same style variable that sets the other areas of blue background on that page. You'll probably have to override the CSS with your own custom CSS.

.private-message-widget .message-list .message-item {
    background: {vb:stylevar content_background};
}

Ok so just paste that in CSS_Additional?

You'll have to change the color code. That is the default CSS from vBulletin. You can't use style variables in css_additional.css.

Im not really following you how to install this. Do i paste this in CSS_additional? And then go back and change the color in stylevar?

You need to write you own custom CSS to change the color. I just provided the default.

Ok so im assuming if i paste that in the css_additional it will be the default gray we have on this forum? I pasted that in another theme and it didnt change anything.

If you paste that exactly as I posted it, you will see exactly no change on your site because you cannot use style variables in the in the css_additional.css template. If you want to change the color, you need to delete {vb:stylevar content_background} and replace it with your own color code. Whatever color code you want to use.
