Changing header color in CRM 2011

Hello All,
I am having some problems trying to change the color for CRM header. I know this is an unsupported feature and have managed to make the change using Microsoft's Developer tool. However, when I make a change on the css and do an IIS reset, I do not see the color change reflected in CRM 2011. This post follows the following question which focused more on the css selectors needed to change the code: http://social.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/crm/thread/393281c6-2757-4829-8b38-71d9a6fc1783/#045d0e5a-ca8b-4689-a75c-a951726e8880
Please if anyone has any idea as to why I am not seeing the color take effect when changing main.css.aspx and theme.css.aspx please let me know !

Hi,
Why not try a supported approach like the solution in this blog http://gonzaloruizcrm.blogspot.co.uk/2011/08/dynamically-colour-up-your-crm-forms-in.html ?
Your current approach could be broken each time a rollup is applied.

Why don;t you take a supported approach which will be guaranteed to survive update rollups, cross browser and future version of CRM? If you look at this post, you can see the "supported version" is not too far from what you want to achieve. Most customers are willing to compromise because unsupported customizations can be quite expensive in the long run:
