    Default Seamlessly Match the Colored Background Image onto the "Define Main Page" Area

    Hi. I'd like to to allow the b.g color for the website to extend into the "Define Main Page" area. Would anybody know how I do this?

    Here's an example:



    Notice the borders are gone and also how the gradient blue/yellow image extends into the "Define Main Page" area. Will I need to define this as the b.g. color for the entire site and then also in the "Define Main Page" area? Or is there a simple way to repeat it into the area with a simple command on the stylesheet?

    Thanks for any help!

    You can style/add #indexDefault to the stylesheet and depending where the image sits maybe just making #indexDefault back ground color transparent might be enough

    I moved my image around a few times and used the following code, but couldn't get it to work just yet.

    Code:
    #indexDefault {
    
        background-color: transparent;
    
        }
    I'll keep messing with it. Thanks for your help, though.

    Just an update on how this has been solved (or I'm solving).

    This may not be the best way to do it, but it's working.

    I'm going into the stylesheet and since I'm not real adept at css I'm searching for " background-color" and then replacing the color with this code:
    Code:
    background-color: #transparent;
    Seems to me there are about 5 items I had to add that to, thus far and it seems to have worked. I'm sure I can affect product pages and such this way as well.

    Just thought I'd share how I'm working with this problem so others can glean.

    Thanks for your help!
