I’m trying to format the background and the border for the lead topic, just as you’ve done here in the bbPress forum. I used Firebug to see your code, which is

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic li.bbp-body {
    border: 1px solid #dd6;
}
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic li.bbp-body div.topic {
    background-color: #0099FF;
}

But when I add this to my child theme’s CSS (where I’ve successfully made other bbPress changes), nothing changes.

I don’t know if something else I’ve changed is preventing this from changing or maybe if you have something in the setup that I don’t have, something that allows you to style this in CSS when I can’t.

Any suggestions? The forum is private, but I can get you in temporarily, if that would help. Or I could paste into a comment all the changes to bbPress I made in my CSS.

(Note: I changed your color for testing purposes)

Thanks for any help you can give me.

try combining the two into this and try it.

i tested in twenty-fourteen and it worked.

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic li.bbp-body div.topic {
    background-color: #0099FF;
    border: 1px solid #dd6;
}

Hm, I’m trying to format the lead topic different different from the replies, but I even can not find ul.bbp-lead-topic im my source code.
Did I miss something?

Thanks

Found the solution.
You have to add this code to themes function.php to set up lead_topic

function custom_bbp_show_lead_topic( $show_lead ) {
  $show_lead[] = 'true';
  return $show_lead;
}

add_filter('bbp_show_lead_topic', 'custom_bbp_show_lead_topic' );
