color of the 'background" color??

I really have never had this question answered for me.
Here look: background
(the red lines are pointing to the problem area). Making the page bigger just increases the size of these 'white' areas. Making the page smaller decreases the size and goes into the Mobile Version.

Hi Gary,

I guess you don't want the white areas.... In your custom-sample.css file (backlight/custom/css/custom-sample.css) remove or comment following code section:

html, 
body, 
main {
	background: linear-gradient(90deg, #ffffff 50%, #fafafa 50%, #fafafa);
}

As a Backlight beginner, my understanding is that when Negative Space is On (which appears to be the case here), the color of the side areas as shown in the example is merely the Page Background-color (white in this case). So one can select whatever color he wants without using CSS. Or did I miss something?

You got it right. But in this case, Gary has some custom css overriding the Backlight settings (looks like it was unintentional, the css is what's in the custom-sample.css file included with Backlight. The css is actually a very subtle gradient.
I use a more...unsubtle gradient on my test site. It's also applied using custom css.

By the way, is there any repository for custom css files and page and album templates for Backlight?

Sharing templates isn't possible (at least right now), so no repository for those.

For custom css, try the Backlight Tips and Tricks forum. I'm also often adding stuff to my TTG Tips & Tricks site (link below)
