Hi Guys

i would like to change the background of the shop to a pattern rather than a simple colour. I have worked out how to change the colour of things from the skin template but how do I change this to a background instead?

I have tried importing

background-image: url(css/grain_10.jpg);

but I do not think I get the link right and if I did where should I put it.

A very confused

Figured out that if I drag the home.tpl into dreamweaver then I can attach a background. I now have the background on everything except on the side but will get there.

Hi Mike. The correct way to code this in the CSS file is:

BACKGROUND: URL(images/bg.gif);

The images/ directory is the skin1/images directory, so make sure to upload your image to the right directory.

Just put that in the style that has to do with what you want the background in (such as the VertMenuBox or body styles)

thanks alot. I seem to be getting somewhere. Although I have now messed up big time and will post another thread to ask about it.
