change background to image? code not working?

[jparkerbishop]

Hello all,

I'm trying to change the background colour of my theme to an image. I'm using the following code which I think is correct, but it seems to have no effect?

 body {
background-image: url ("../themes/basartronic/img/bg.jpg") repeat-x;
font-size: 11px;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;
color: #5D717E;
text-align: center;

Any help would be great!

In which folder is this CSS class ? The path of your background image need to be relative to your CSS. You should use Firefox with Firebug module, this is veeeeeeeeeeery helpfull for CSS modifications

What do you mean by the css class? The file I changed was global.css, which I thought controlled the overall configuration? I can't find any other folder with background image in it?

Sorry for being noob!

You were so close. This is what worked for me.
Edit this file: /public_html/themes/prestashop/img/global.css file as follows:

body {
   background-color: transparent;
   background-image: url('../img/page_t.jpg');
   background-repeat: repeat-x top right;
   font-size: 11px;
   font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif;
   color: #5d717e;
   text-align: center
}

Make sure to put the image you want to use for your background into the /public_html/themes/prestashop/img/ folder.
In my case, the image was named page_t.jpg and the size is only 350x226.

Yes, it is important to give the full path to the picture, in this case ../img is very important

And also, check in the back office that Preference - Performance - force compile is set to yes and disable cache so you can see your changes and not an cached version.
