title: Changing navbar color in Twitter's Bootstrap 2.3.2
body: <p>I've looked at other posts addressing this question, but I still can't seem to able to change the background color the navbar in Twitter Bootstrap. I'm using version 2.3.2. I did everything described by baptme in this post <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11196638/change-navbar-color-in-twitter-bootstrap-2-0-4">Change navbar color in twitter bootstrap 2.0.4</a> . Here's the CSS I'm using to override the original bootstrap.css file.</p>
  
  
  
  <pre class="lang-css prettyprint-override"><code>.navbar-inner {

    .navbar .nav .active &gt; a, .navbar .nav .active &gt; a:hover {color:white;}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The only thing that changes when I run this is that the active "home" link has the #c79810 background color. Everything else still has the default black background color.</p>
  
  <p>Also, I really don't care about having a gradient unless it's required. Just a solid background color is fine.</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong? Thanks!</p>
