    Default Re: Background Color/Image

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

    Code:
    /*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

    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.
