Problems after making image as background

[lovehyesung]

Hi,

 

I've manage to use a image as background, but it brings new problem.

 

Attached picture 1 is what my site looks like now. The entire center column is transparent, so my informations in this place are hard to see. I want my site to be like attached picture 2 or 3, there is a a background for all columns or a background for center column.

 

Can anyone help me please!!

To change the color of your center column look in themes>yourthemename>css>global.css

 

Around line 280 find #center_column styling -- add the following to your stylesheet:

 

background:#fff;

 

This will change the center column background to white (for black just add #000).

 

Hope this helps!

I was coming back to explain it a little better but I see you figured it out

 

Glad it worked. Also, I appreciate the fact that you returned to say 'Thanks'. You'd be surprised at how many I help that never even say thank you.

 

If I can help again please let me know.

I agree Marty.

 

As a novice I do not help many people but I always try to thank people who do help me. I am always grateful when a problem is sorted.

Following on the from the issue you answered above, do you know if you can add text to a background template. My site http://www.homesteadandgarden.co.uk has a plain background to the left and right. I wondered if I could add something like Made in Britan in text over it.

 

your thoughts would be welcome.

Hi Barry!

 

Yes, you can do that. It might be a bit of a challenge unless you know what you are doing but it can be done.

Hello Marty Shue,

I'm back and I have a new problem....Hope you can help me again!

Now I add a background to the center column, but all text, block and image are floating left...check my site:http://www.gamehuntercdkey.com/shop/product.php?id_product=68

The same problem also show in information page.

 

I try to change a code, I can center all text, but then my homepage flash advertise is also padding-left and padding-right for 10px...I want my site looks like picture 3 I attached. Do you have any suggestion?

 

/* global RTE fields */

.rte,

.mceContentBody {

text-align: center;

padding-left: 10px;

padding-right:10px;

background: white;

color: black

You just need to add 10px of padding to your center_column. This will give you the effect you are looking for.

 

center_column can be found in global.css

 

Hope that helps!

Hello Marty shue,

There are so many #center_column in global.css...I try to change some of them, but the effects are not what I want...May be I have to try some else, or I have to change more than one place. I'll keep trying.
