Did you refresh your online website with F5 after updating?
What is the website adress if above does not work?
Author
HI yes. The website address is www.spxsa.com

The background should be black, not grey!
Have you tried on the website to do CTRL + Preview to regenerate everything and export the entire site?

Upload after or export to a new file?
In WebSite X5, hold down the left Ctrl key and click "Preview" at the top. Wait until the progress bar has fully loaded. This will redraw the pages.
Make a complete export of the website to the Internet. Not just the updated files. Then, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + F5 in your browser to request the files from the web server again.

HI I tried that its still not working
Did you add a background image to the header? Also try disabling WebP The problems often outweigh the benefits.

I made the colour background and added an image, Disabled WebP still nothing

Could I maybe import new template settings. Would that overide whatever is causing the problem?
I don't think it should be responsive without too many problems, we're missing something, I saw that in the source there are two <!-- Google tag (gtag.js) --> one should be deleted just for correctness in the code not for your problem
The complete template settings can be exported from existing projects or from free or paid templates in order to import them into other templates or projects. See this guide for details.

Would that overide whatever is causing the problem? - just test it on a copy of the project.

Thanks I dont see any other options at this stage so I will give that a try!

That hasnt worked either. I am back in the same place as I was before
Try using CSS code. In WebSite X5, under...
1 Settings > Statistics and Code / Code
Custom Code:
Before the closing </HEAD> tag
... insert this CSS code:
#imStickyBarGraphics {
background-color: black !important;
}
Below is a screenshot of my test with Firefox's web development tools.

Thanks for your efforts I am giving up and working the grey into the colour scheme.
Hello Francos,
please keep in mind that your header is not visible at the moment, as a Sticky Bar is present, or was this a change you made later, after encountering the mismatch in the background color?
I remain available.
Online translation:
Hallo Francos,
bitte beachten Sie, dass Ihre Kopfzeile im Moment nicht sichtbar ist, da eine Sticky Bar vorhanden ist. Oder war dies eine Änderung, die Sie später vorgenommen haben, nachdem Sie die Abweichung in der Hintergrundfarbe bemerkt hatten?
Ich bleibe zu Ihrer Verfügung.
