Changing Background image
 

OK so now that I have the installation of this thing down I can direct my attention to the design.

Can anyone give me some advice on changing the background of the center table.
What I would like to accomplish is a single image in the center column no matter where I navigate to. I tried adding the tag

<TD background="{$ImagesDir}images/palm2sm.jpg" align=middle valign=top>

to the customer/home_main.tpl

all I got was the center table getting shifted over.
any insight to what I did wrong would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Yep, your code isn't quite right. First, you should use CSS for this instead of the depreciated 'background=' tag. Replace the td tag that controls the center of the layout area with this:


Then, open up skin1.css and add this:


That should do the trick.

Sweet!!
I beleive that'll do it.

Thanks a ton balinor!

Just saw somthing.
When I enter featured products they have a solid white background.
So I have a white bar cutting across the image.

If I'm on the right track, which line in the css would I set to transparent?

Thanks again for getting me this far.

Post a url so we can see what you are talking about.

Also if you click on a product the tree has moved down but I think I have that figured out.

Try removing the background-color: class in the Dialogbox style in skin1.css.

Thats the one.
Now all I have to do is make the images tranparent.

Thanks again!!
