Using background images in styles

[gillyworld]

Has anyone modified any styles to make them use background images rather than a plain colour? If so could you tell us how its done

Thanks

hi alan,

in the styles folder open the php file of the style you want to modify, e.g. original.php.
around line 355 you will find the body stylesheet:

BODY {
background: #" . $s_back_color . ";
color: #" . $s_font_color . ";
margin-left : 0px;
margin-top : 0px;
margin-right : 0px;
margin-bottom : 0px;
font-family: " . $s_font_family_p . ";
background-image : url(graphs/yourbackgroundimage.gif);
background-color : #" . $s_back_color . ";
}
.rover {background: #" . $roverback . "; }
.rover A {color: #" . $roverlinkcolor . "; }


here you can see the syntax for the style definition of the background-image, which is empty by default.
just put your background image into the graphs folder.

i hope this helps.

cheers
