Background Color/Image

[tfilio]

Ok, I have been searching and searching and can't seem to figure this one out.

I want to change the background to a image.

I found this: http://www.leadertelegram.com/articl...I7RDFHTGD2.jpg

And I suspect that is how I can change color but I have an image that I want on my background.

Anyone know how to do this or can point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.

These are generally controlled in the stylesheets (stylesheet.css , for example.)

There are lots of sections where you can invoke background images, and I am assuming you want a main website background, behind the main wrappers... ?

I have one on my website, and the relevant declaration (amongst others) is in stylesheet.css

Mine says:

body {
	background-image: url(../images/shadowback.jpg);
	background-repeat: repeat-y;
	background-position:center;
	margin: 0;
	font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 70%;
	color: #383838;
	}

The above presumes you have saved your background image in includes/templates/your-template/images

If you are unsure of my other declarations for background, read up on them at www.w3schools.com

You do it in the stylesheet. This is a snippet of the stylesheet in use on the Fan Odyssey site in my sig.

/*wrappers - page or section containers*/
#mainWrapper {
	background-color: #000000;
  background-image: url('../images/space011.jpg');
	text-align: left;
	width: 100%;
	vertical-align: top;
	}

#logoWrapper{
  background-image: url('../images/space011.jpg');
	background-repeat: repeat-x;
	background-color: #000000;
	height:110px;
	width: 100%;
	}

I used this like above:

/*wrappers - page or section containers*/
#mainWrapper {
background-color: #000000;
background-image: url('../images/space011.jpg');
text-align: left;
width: 100%;
vertical-align: top;
}

That changed my backgroung inside the main area but I want the main background not the background behind the store etc... if that makes sense.

??

Thanks

Did you try fairestcape's suggestion?

[tfilio]

I did try that one as well.

Here is the outcome: http://www.babesbait.com/store/store/

That is not the background I am talking about. I want the back background changed......


Thanks in advance.

I actually took it down..couldn't stand looking at it anymore.

Do you understand what I am talking about? Not the white background in the center but the real background that is off white.

From what I can tell using Firefox with webdeveloper, fairestcape has the right location to make the change.

Did you alter correct stylesheet for your current template,
because fairestcape's code is correct for what you seek to do.
