Okay, I'm redesigning my html pages and using a background gif image. I would like my shopping cart pages to mirror the new look.

I need help.

1) can we use a background image instead of background color with xcart?

I tried editing the css template background color (the one currently used) to use the image, but the template didn't seem to recognize it and the page went mostly white.

2) is using a background image in gif format a problem for shopping carts? is it not recommended? or is it normal and used often?

I'm currently using a plain blue color. Since the cart isn't a fancy design, the plain colors look boring (just blocks of color). The new image has a slight paper look design and looks great with the rest of my site content pages. So, it will look great, but I'm not sure if it's do-able or simply not recommended.

Thanks for your help!
