Transparent background

[Ishtar]

I would like my template to be transparent for me to add a custom background. But I cant't make it work. In my theme's css I set:

body {
	margin: 0;
	margin-top: 10px;
	font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 62.5%;
	color: #999999;
	background-color: #000000;
	background-image: url(../images/pagebg.gif);

Is it right?

and what about tables background? In fact I would like all my templete to be transparent.

What template are you using?
I have managed it with the comstock template

background-color: #000000;


Any background-color beside transparent is not transparent. If you delete the background-color property, it will default to transparent.

You also need to check background: and background-color: properties for other page elements, especially #mainWrapper, #headerWrapper, #contentMainWrapper, etc.

Your mainWrapper

#mainWrapper {
	background-color: #000000;
	text-align: left;
	width: 96%;
	vertical-align: top;
	border: 1px solid #000;
	}
