The background color for the Joomla! beez template can be changed by editing the position.css file (the purple color)

To find this file, in the backend administrator panel head to:

1. Extensions -> Template Manager
2. In the Template Manager, select from the list the "beez" template and click to edit.
3. Now, click on the "Edit CSS" icon from the right panel.
4. From the list with css files select the position.css and edit it.
   
5. At the beginning of the css file you will find the css property that needs to be modified:

    body
   { background: #F2E3ED;
   color: #000000; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 100.1%; padding: 0px;
   text-align: center;
   }

6. Just replace the background property: background: #F2E3ED with other color.
   For example, if you want a white background for the beez template use:  
   

   background: #FFFFFF;

There are 2 easy methods used to hide/remove  the menu bullets in the Joomla! Milkyway template: 

1. Using the Module Manager:
   
   • in the backend Joomla! panel  head to Extensions -> Module Manager
   • select from the list the menu that you want to edit
   • from the Module Parameters (right panel) change the Menu Style from "List" to "Legacy Vertical"
     
2. Edit the template.css file:
   • to edit the template.css file, in the Joomla! backend click on Extensions -> Template Manager 
   • edit the rhuk_milkyway template .
   • click on the "Edit CSS" icon and choose from the list the template.css file.
   • edit the file and put the following code at the end of the document:

   #leftcolumn li {
   list-style-type: none;
   }
   
   #leftcolumn ul {
   margin: 0px;
   padding: 0px;
   }

The advantage of the second method is that it will hide the bullets for all the Joomla! menus with bullets. When using the first method, you will have to repeat the process for every menu with bullets.
