JQuery UI Tabs Background - Navigation Stays White

I am trying to change the background behind the tabs completely. I took the basic tabs example and added this code, as advised e.g. here: body { background-color: #ddddff; } .ui-ta

Solution 1:

.ui-state-active, .ui-widget-content .ui-state-active, .ui-widget-header .ui-state-active{your active color} this should have your background color

Solution 2:

Try changing your tabs background to this.

 background: #ddddff !important;
