Background & Fixed Size Theme... Howto  Bottom

  • Hello All ...

    I'm currently working on my very first fixed Size theme (actually it's only my second custom theme ever :D) ...

    To fill up the space left and right of the actual theme (which is 770px wide), I want to use a background image.

    However, I don't seem to be able to get it in just the right spot (aka outside of the actual theme content). WHen I put it in the Body tag in the header function of Theme.PHP, I also get it as a background of all blocks.

    What am I missing here ???
    Any suggestions, recommendations will be greatly appreciated....

    Thanx in advance for your help...

  • Hi there,

    This is done in CSS:

    No repeat for the bg:



    Rpeat vertically



    Rpeat horiz



    There are few other things that can be done in regards to positioning bg images and for more in depth do a google search on CSS background repeat,

    Kindest regards

  • A simpler way may be to just set a background color for the table containing the 770 pix theme elements. This is probably the first
  • Thank you all guys ... You've been most helpfull ... Problem (if you can call it a problem) is now solved. If you are curious/interested in what this was all about, here's a link to the website under development. It's a clan-website (you either love being in a clan or you hate it, so let's not have a discussion on being in a clan), for the 'old-geezer' clan i'm in, and the design is not my own. It's 'imposed' by our graphics designer, and i'm responsible for making it work technically. So .. have a look at http://www.snrclan.com if you are interested in what it became :D

    Anyways... Thanx for your help guys.
  • Heck, I like it. Good work.

    So what is a clan?

    Joke .... sorry ....
  • Glad it worked out for you :)
