For the images, you'll need to use your Graphics editor on images like catbgs, titlebgs and the tabs, for the general colours you'll need to edit the CSS files.

a lot of them gifs are scaleable as well, so changing to a non uniform picture may turn out kinda funny youll have to get rid of whatever does the scaling...

Find (in style.css)

Code Select Expand

/* The main body of the entire forum. */

body {
background: #FFFFFF;
margin: 0;
padding: 0px 15px 0 15px;
}

and change it to

Code Select Expand

/* The main body of the entire forum. */

body {
background: #FFFFFF;
   background-image: url("yourimageurlhere.gif");
margin: 0;
padding: 0px 15px 0 15px;
}

I always make my backgrounds fixed with no repeating, like HERE

Code Select Expand

body {
background: #FFFFFF;
   background-image: url("yourimageurlhere.gif") no-repeat fixed center center;
margin: 0;
padding: 0px 15px 0 15px;
}

Hope this helps.
Good Luck,

code for background image is not correct

it should be like this

Code Select Expand


/* The main body of the entire forum. */

body {
   background: #FFFFFF;
    background-image: url(images/background.gif);
   margin: 0;
   padding: 0px 15px 0 15px;
}

   


background.gif should be located in images directory of your theme

Also, that will only change the background itself, nothing else, so if you want the catbg's titlebgs and tabs in green also, those wont be changed, nor will the windowbgs etc...

If you dont want it to repeat horizonatally, use this:

Code Select Expand

background-image: url(images/filename.gif) repeat-x;

and vertically you use repeat-y instead.
