SMF Theme/CSS quick help

| SMF Theme/CSS quick help I changed my sites theme, and like this darker theme so far, but there is one problem, the background image doesnt repeat, and stops and turns into a blank white background. I am at 1280x1024 resolution, and I can see it even on the forum index. Heres an example: http://www.domesticdisturbance.us/sm...p?topic=2444.0 I've tried to play around with the CSS sheet, but I dont know where it is, and can't seem to get it to change no matter what I do. Obviously, I am not even anywhere near being a good "coder", and can't really do anything besides really basic html. Any help on getting a soild dark grey background would be greatly appreciated

{
background-image: url('someimage.png');
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
} Code: body
{
background-image: url('someimage.png');
background-repeat: repeat-y;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
}

| I don't think I've seen that theme before, what is it called? I will have to download it to see it's stylesheet. Also, what Vyoma posted isn't quite right. Repeating it on the Y axis will only tile it vertically, and I have a feeling it may not be under body.

| It looks as though the theme designer didn't think everything out... He has it in the body, and he has it repeating on the X axis. He must be on a lower res or something... Anyway, to add a background color is easy. Find: Code: body
{
background: url("images/bodybg.png") 0 0 repeat-x;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0 0 0 0;
} Code: body
{
background: url("images/bodybg.png") #616161 0 0 repeat-x;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0 0 0 0;
}

| I can make a better fix, but you will need to edit index.template.php as well. If you want, I can get to it. Edit: Right after posting this I thought of yet another fix... which will be easier . I will have it ready in a minute.Edit #2: Ok, all done . Download this image and upload it to Themes/BlackRain/images and overwrite the one that is there. Now open style.css again and do the following:Find: Code: body
{
background: url("images/bodybg.png") #616161 0 0 repeat-x;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0 0 0 0;
} Code: body
{
background: url("images/bodybg.png") 0 0 repeat;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0 0 0 0;
}
