Shape 5

I seem to be missing something obvious.

From the forum postings I have read, to change the background colour or to use an image I edit line 3 of the "template.css" file.

However, when I do that (see code below) and upload my "body_bg.png" file to the images dir it doesnt show up on the page.

Even the dark blue colour (#34187) doesnt show up, which is what I would expect to happen if the png file wasnt uploaded.

template.css
body  {
    background: url("../images/body_bg.png") repeat scroll 0 0 #134187;
   color:#717171;
   font-size:0.8em;
   line-height:170%;}

What am I missing? Is there some other place (or css file) that has the body background listed?

My url is:

Thanks.

Hello,

You can change any backgrounds now directly in the Template Manager under the Backgrounds Tab. Here you can specify a color or image to certain areas of the site. The default background of the site is called from this line in the Template.CSS

body {
    background: url("../images/s5_bg.jpg") repeat scroll 0 0 #A9A9A9;
    color: #717171;
    font-size: 0.8em;
    line-height: 170%;
}

So to change this to your own all you should need to do is just upload your own image named s5_bg.jpg and it will use that image instead. Or you can modify the code pointing to the name of your new image as well.

Thanks Mike,

I somehow overlooked that tab.

The background image works for me now, although when I remove the *.png file from the Background Tabs in Template manager (as a test) the background colour I choose doesnt seem to be applied. For the moment I have just made a png file that colour so this works ok.

Thanks for your help.

Not a problem.
