[SOLVED] Background help and advice needed please.

[Peter_UK]

Hi, I am just customizing my theme, and I have run in to a bit of a problem.

I would like to ad a background image to the template but in a way that it shows on the sides and under the main
page area, but not in the middle of the page.
Please look at the pic attached to see what I mean.

Is there a way to do this?

Any advice welcome, and thanks in advance

Peter

Just put the background on the body section in global.css and set a background colour on the #page section.

Worked a treat, thanks very much

Will an image background be the same way? What should be the correct path for it? Should it have an absolute path like a complete URL?

[rocky]

You should put the background image in the themes//img, then use a relative URL in themes//css/global.css like this:

body
{
   background: url(../img/background.jpg);
}

You can add no-repeat, repeat-x or repeat-y depending on whether it is a non-repeatable image, repeats only horizontally or repeats only vertically.
