One quick question How do you change the background colour that is outside of your page templates ie. as is the outer colour red to the left and right of the following web site http://www.gleniboutique.com/.

In skin1.css

HTML, BODY{
background: #a5070d url(images/mybg.gif) left top repeat-x;
}
TABLE.Container{
background-color: #fff;
}

if there is no need to attach image

HTML, BODY{
background-color: #a5070d;
}
TABLE.Container{
background-color: #fff;
}

also there are two gradients by the table side
you may need to add two extra rows wrapping TD.Container in rectangle_top.tpl for them
(and not to forget to close them in rectangle_bottom.tpl)

Thanks Victor i have a left and right gradient border on my site but are unable to find these in skin1.css, are these at the top of skin1.css and what terminology do they go by as i have changed colours of various settings but unable to find they side gradients.

Please try not to jump on someone else's thread with your questions. Moving this to its own thread.

Gradient is an image. So you should search for "background" or "background-image" in your CSS.
If you have your skin modified there is possibly additional CSS included.

If you provide me an URL of your store the conersation would be more concrete.

I tried that and I also tried background-image but no background image is appearing, anybody who can help me out?

I think Victor is right. This is in your css file - it is after the initial styles defined for your body at the top:
BODY {
background-image:url(images/custom/bg.gif);
background-repeat:repeat-y;
background-position:top;
background-color:#5a070d;
}

Did you try this on version that is written in your signature or 4.2.0?
In what directory you uploaded image?

Hi Victor -

I think the problem is that their css files defines style for the body three times and they may be updating the first one, then it gets overridden by third one.

You have lost me, I'm trying to get the Table container less wide, with that I succeed, but it also needs to be centered, no success with that, only left alignment. And I would like to get a background image showing. Attached you'll find my css, any help is appreciated, I'm lost ...
