    Firefox with developer tools will point out exactly what you need to change.

    A link to your site helps more than an image.

    Suggestions: look at color statements for column one and column two and nav ez pages in your stylesheet.

    Hi everyone
    I'm trying to change the Bookshop template's red columns to a image however, I can't find where on the stylesheet I have it is that needs to be changed. As you can see I have started changing some of the red background colour to an image.
    This is the link to the site I'm working on:

    Download an Install Firefox, then add Web Developers
    Tool Kit...you will then be able to view stylesheet settings
    for each section of template

    The red sidebar columns are already images - substitute yours here:
    Code:
    #navColumnOne {
    	background-image: url(../images/columnA.png);
    	}
    
    #navColumnTwo {
    	background-image: url(../images/columnB.png);
    	}
    If you want to change the "marble" pattern on the edges of the page, that is the body background.

    Save images in /includes/templates/your_template/images/, as that is where url(../images/xxx.xxx) points.

    To find these class and id names, use the Information > Display Element Information button in Web Developer. Click on any element and see its tags and ancestors, among many other things.
    The CSS > Edit CSS button will let you try stylesheet changes and see the results instantly.
    If a class or id you want to style is not in the stylesheet already, add it.
