Ihad in the first time gotten the bg in my store through the stylesheet.css. then I wanted to chnage a color of a navigation bar and went in the Stylesheet manager.  now I can not get back into my stylesheet.css under catalog.  the permission are all in black and can not be changed and so is the owner name which instead of being mine now says www.  Can anyone help?  I want my background back.

Now I did find a stylesheet.css under /admin/includes/ that i can get into but it is not changing anything.

Thank you for any help. Kami

BODY {
background-image : url('/www/images/metal013.gif);
background-repeat : no-repeat;
background-position : 50% 50%;
background-attachment : fixed;
color : #000000;

I'm no guru, but shouldn't there be a closing quote on the image url?

Great post. I managed to add a background image to my shop.. But I've encountered a new problem also..

Now it looks like this! :
[img]http://a173.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/90/l_c70bd91090b8d25bdfbf6896a4f71334.jpg[/img]

as you see half of the box is transparent... Help please?

[raybeam]

I've solved the problem. If anyone else encounters it in the future, here's the solution:
I just changd the background to #000000 in
.productListing-heading
TD.productListing-data

And then I changed border-spacing to 0px in TABLE.productListing.

If you either put the image in the right place, or used the correct image name it would help.


The image you are trying to use doesn't exist on the site:

http://qqfbotique.com/Boutique/images/ground.jpg

Click that.

"inexperienced" did.

If you put the image online I could possibly help.

As it is you're "flying solo".

Hello All.

I'd really like to add a Flash background to the site. Does anyone know how to do this? I have Flash-enabled my site.
Or, I'd like to be able to have a different background for different sections of the site.

Thanks in advance.

I have managed to change the store background, but all the "boxes" for Categories, New Products, etc are still white. How and where do I change these to my site background image?

The problem can be seen here: http://minipainter.netfirms.com/

BODY {
background-image : url('images/osback.jpg');
background-repeat : repeat;
background-position : center;

background: #ffff99;
color: #000000;
margin: 0px;
}


If you have the above codes, the the background colour overides the background image. It may be simple stuff to you GENIUSES out there but I wasted an hour trying to work out why my background was not working.

I have done this, and I have my background image in place. However, the boxes named "Categories", "What's New", and the rest of these type of boxes do not show my bg image. Is there some code line(s) I need to change to affect these areas as well? If so, where are these lines, and what should they say?

First make a backup of your stylesheet then
find the lines that look like:

background: #F8F8F9;

and delete them all.
That should get rid of that light-grey background color in those boxes you're talking about which should allow for the page background to show "through" the table.

in your stylesheet.css file
add this to the BODY class:

margin-top: 20px;


or
replace the default store_logo.png with your own logo and in your logo, leave some "white space" at the top.
