editing style sheets in Sharepoint 1

[ChrissyLoetz]

Thanks in advance for any tips here. I was able to apply my own style sheet, but nothing I do seems to change the blue background color of the top frame. I located some CSS files that come with Sharepoint, like 1033\STYLES\OWS.CSS, and edited a style named "ms-bannerframe" to change the color, but doesn't have any effect. What's the best way to control style in Sharepoint?

A couple of things worth having a look at. PS:make a copy of the CSS files and record your changes somewhere, some of them are hard to find again.

I found both of these very handy when branding my site.
