I can't really see your screenshot, as it is too small, but if you are talking about the bottom of the page, where the copyright info is, then:

Open style.css
find:

Code Select Expand

/* And this is the bottom, where the copyright is, etc. */
#footerarea
{
   color: black;
   background-color:
and change the background color.

You might *want* a background that's limited to one, fixed location (eg a corner or side image fading into a single page colour).

body {
   background: #161616 url(../images_templateboy/fr_bg.png) repeat-x;
}
this is the css...now what happens is the top half is covered by the backgorund picture and the remaining by the colour..how can i make the thing covered fully with the picture ?

It's only tiling horizontally because of the 'repeat-x', so take that out if you want it to tile vertically as well.
