yea still not working
Zen Follower
ok for some reason the class switch back from smartBG_1 to smartBG
but i didnt change anything in the stylesheet_smartbg
.smartBG_1 #contentMainWrapper {background-image: url(../images/smartBG_1.gif);}
now the class is reading smartbg_1 after i changed the img name to lowercase littles so the class is showing back again to smartBG_1

As I said, the browser is doing exactly what you're telling it.
2. But in your stylesheet you've got it lowercase:```
.[B]smartbg_1[/B] #contentMainWrapper {background-image: url(../images/smartBG_1.gif);}
"smartBG_1" is NOT the same as "smartbg_1" ... so, it won't match.
Furthermore ...
3. You've specified smartBG_1.gif as the image name:
.smartbg_1 #contentMainWrapper {background-image: url(../images/smartBG_1.gif);}
but ...
4. Your server has a file with a different name:
http:// sunkissed.hostzi.com/shops/includes/templates/sunkissedvahinez/images/**smartbg_1.gif**
"smartBG_1.gif" is NOT the same as "smartbg_1.gif", so when the server goes to try to find the smartBG_1.gif you've specified in your stylesheet, it can't find that file because you've named it something else on the server.
The addon's instructions are clear. But you have to be consistent in how you follow the pattern if you want it to work.

The Smart Backgrounds code looks for an image named smartbg_1.gif, not smartBG_1.gif. It's smart, not psychic :)

i finally did it.... thanks so much guys.... its working now : ), so i got a question now
why is this page blue? http://sunkissed.hostzi.com/shops/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1&products_id=1
when i just wanted this page blue? http://sunkissed.hostzi.com/shops/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=1

what's that supposed to mean?
Sensei
Yes. You need to study how CSS selectors work.
You've told it to make all class=smartBG_1 be blue.
If you want all other pages related to that category to not be blue, then you need to change the CSS selector to be more specific about how you want to limit it.
ie: in your stylesheet instead of specifying just .smartBG_1, make it be #indexBody.smartBG_1 since #indexBody is the specific <body> id that you're saying you want to change.
As gjh42 said, its smart, not psychic. And now you've got not only the answer but also the tools to help yourself.

i got one more question before i wrap thinks up
so if i want to want to change the background on this page
http://sunkissed.hostzi.com/shops/
do i type
#mainpage.smartBG_1
thanks
Sensei
No.
You'll need to build it based on the HTML in the page. The HTML from which you'll build the appropriate CSS selector is: ```
<body id="indexHomeBody" class="smartBG"> ```If you're following the instructions in the readme and in the articles I've pointed you to, and the posts above, you'll be able to use that information to figure out the solution to your question.

cool thanks alot, it worked : )
another thing i tried doing the product listing for this page, like how cpath=1 is written but nothing happen
http://sunkissed.hostzi.com/shops/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2
#indexBody.smartBG_2 #contentMainWrapper {background-color:#000000;}
Sensei
Looks like you've broken the <body> tag such that it's not putting the category in anymore.
I defer to gjh42 ... or just make sure you're using the code as the addon supplies.
Zen Follower
thanks drbyte
yea i never change any coding everything is still the same, category 2 is reading the smartBG
<body id="indexBody" class="smartBG"> but it doesnt pick up smartBG_2heres the website than one of you can take a look at it,
http://sunkissed.hostzi.com/shops/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=2
Zen Follower
ok i fixed up the broken body tag, didnt realize i had a body tag in my navbar menu... but that one page is still not working cpath=2
Sensei
As per the readme, you need to create the image file on the server before it will trigger the change to the <body> tag.
