Changing Theme backgrounds

[Mathius5]

How do i Change the Background of a Theme,

i'm using smf 2.0 Rc4.

with a webhost and i'm wondering how to change it \ which file.

[kat]

Which theme?

[Mathius5]

I'm using SkmNight, Smf 2.0 Rc4 Theme.

I can't find that one, here.

Is it one of ours?

[Mathius5]

Nope,

But Do you know which file you'd  usually go to , to change the background?.

[kat]

It would largely depend on the theme.

If it has a background image, already, it'll be shown in index.css, in the theme's "css" directory.

If it already has an image as a background, you could just replace the graphic with your own.

Just found the theme.

It doesn't have a background image, as such.

You'd have to add something like this to the index.css file.

/* The main body of the entire forum. */
body
{
background-image: url(http://imageURL/Background.jpg);

Change the URL/filename to suit, obviously.

In skm Night look in the index.css and around line 35
