Customising colour behind the template

Hi all
Could someone please explain how I would change the colour of the area beyond the very edges of a template? (eg the "grey" area on this particular page)

Also, would it be hard to add a repeated watermark type of graphic to this area as well?

(I've searched tutorials, etc & couldn't find anything, so sorry if it is a common question :blink:)

Thank you :smile:

Find this in your stylesheet:

body {
margin: 0;
font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 75%;
color: #FFFFFF;
background-color: #000000;
}

Change the code in red to whatever color you want.

To add a background image add this to your sytlesheet

background-color: #000000;
background-image: url(../images/IMAGE NAME);
background-image repeat: repeat-yes;

change the color code to your color and the IMAGE NAME
to your actual image.

upload the image to your /images folder too.

I hope this helps you!
