Guest Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 HI I wish to add a background to the area OUTSIDE of my main store. In other words the large white areas on either side of the screen. What file do I need to modify? Anyone know a good source for background designs etc? Thanks in advance

M-Pro Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 I guess you are using a fixed width & centred site, rather than one that flows to fill whatever size the browser is. Add a background image to the <body> tag on every single page would be a really bad way of doing what you want. A lot of the color and text etc of your site will be controlled by your style sheet catalog/stylesheet.css In this file find BODY { background: #ffffff; color: #000000; margin: 0px; } change this to BODY { background-image: url(xxxxx) color: #000000; margin: 0px; } where xxx is the filename of your image, plus you may need to set the image repeat options. Don't use big images, they can seriously slow down your site. Either use a tiny image and repeat it, or a good trick is an image thats only 1px wide but a 1000px tall with a horizontal repeat. Check your css manual or the internet for the precise syntax for the url and repeat
