Help me change my background.

[mrpike]

Can anyone help me change my background from blue to something that I want? I'm not sure how to do it or where the file would be located. Thanks in advance.

Things to consider:

Code Select Expand

/* Set a fontsize that will look the same in all browsers. */
body
{
background: #293D4F url(../images/theme/bg.png) repeat-x top left;
font: 78%/130% "Verdana", "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;
margin: 0 0 20px;
padding: 0;
}That bg.png image is just a large image containing one color #293D4F. You could just make it this:

Code Select Expand

body
{
background: #293D4F;
font: 78%/130% "Verdana", "Arial", "Helvetica", sans-serif;
margin: 0 0 20px;
padding: 0;
}Then the #293D4F color could be changed, but then the next thing is your logo. The background color of that image is  #293D4F as well, so the things match rather well. What is the something you want?

I don't want a color, I want to have an image. I'm trying to have a blank think I can edit in Photoshop. I can also edit my logo so that it will have a clear background in photoshop.

OK, so you currently have an image that's just one color. And based on this other topic, it sounds like you have some idea of what to do now, eh?

[mrpike]

A little, although he wasn't exactly hitting it on the head either. I just want one image that I can make the background.

[mashby]

And which image would that be?

[mrpike]

One that I make.

You can make the entire forum transparent over a background image, like GreenLeaf -

It's not available for 2.0 (I'm running it in 1.1.13), but you can pick through the css and maybe figure how it's done.  I haven't had the patience.
