messed up background and in my templates help!!

Topic summary

Main issue: Background styling broke in a Shopify Dawn theme after custom code edits. The requester wanted the plaid background removed sitewide but retained behind the header, and also asked to make the homepage video smaller.

Key steps and inputs:

  • Community members requested the store URL, password, and screenshots to diagnose. One suggestion was to restore the CSS from a clean Dawn theme if only CSS was changed.
  • The requester provided access details and a screenshot highlighting the unwanted plaid background.

Actions taken:

  • A helper directly fixed the site’s background, removing the plaid from pages. Afterwards, they applied the plaid background only to the header, sharing before/after screenshots.

Outcome:

  • Background issue resolved and header-only background implemented. The requester confirmed satisfaction.

Notes and status:

  • No detailed code or step-by-step instructions were shared; changes were performed by the helper on the live theme.
  • The request to reduce the homepage video size was mentioned but not addressed further in the thread, so that item appears unresolved.
  • Screenshots were central to understanding the visual issue.
