Change background

[scytha]

I am having a similar problem. I want my image to be the background of everything. Text, boxes, products, everything. Here is my current code.

body {
color:#000000;
font:.75em/1.5 'trebuchet ms', arial, sans-serif;
background-image: url(/includes/templates/free_red/images/marble_dark.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-x; }
margin:0 15px;
}

Any idea why it is not working? The background remains white.

background: #ffffff url(../images/background_your name.jpg);

NOT

background-image: url(/includes/templates/free_red/images/marble_dark.jpg);

That's a start, but it only went behind part of the page. What and where do I change the colors to transparent so the background shows all over?

Thanks in advance

Search your stylesheet for "background" and eliminate colors wherever you find them. Test each one to be sure you actually do want to eliminate it.

Using FireFox's Firebug add-on is great for this kind of thing. You can go in and delete or add stylesheet code where ever you want to and see the changes right there in real time. And best of all.. you're not messing up your files tweaking to your heart's content ... You just refresh and voila! back to normal

I usually keep a pencil and paper handy.. and I jot down the changes that do what I want and then I go into the stylesheet and make them. Very handy!

You do realise that you can save the changes to your own harddrive and then upload if you wish?

Yeah.. that's what I do when I'm ready to make the changes. But instead of trying out a hundred things when I'm not sure what part of the code controls what.. or if I just want to see how something would looks like.. and then editing a file and uploading it.. I can use Firebug to make the changes in my browser window to see if I like how they look or if I'm editing the right bit. If I don't like it, I refresh my window and try something else out. Better than backing up files.. accidentally overwriting them.. hitting undo a hundred times or restoring a backup when you upload something and don't like it.
