Sorry, your image is too small for me too see what you want to change.

The body element is the actual area "behind" the website. If your website is sized at 100% (which it is in icy), then you will see nothing in the body area. If you fix the width of the main site container table, you will see the body background. Example: http://www.oneworld.hostultra.com/easy/dump/demo/

here I have

Quote:

body {
    background: #FAFAFA;
    margin: 0px 0px 0px 0;
    padding: 0px 10px 0px;
}

FAFAFA gives it a slight grey - the intention is to make the website to stand out from the background, giving almost 3-D look.

rather than two background lines, you could just use:


To get an idea of fixing the site container table width, read my post here:

Ah ok, all you need to do is open overall_header.tpl, and llok for the first table statement. I'm not sure for the theme you're using, but in mgthemes, this is:



You would change the opening table with do 80%, and the td width before the seond table to 80%, so from the above it would become:

<table width="80%" border="0" align="center" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
    <tr>
        <td class="leftshadow" width="9" valign="top"><img src="{FULL_SITE_PATH}{SPACER}" alt="" width="9" height="1" /></td>
        <td width="80%" valign="top">
<table id="forumtable" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">

You will probably also need to put <centre> tags in. You would put the first <centre> tag straight after <body> in overall_header.tpl, and the </centre> before the </body> tag in overall_footer.tpl.

i don't have overall_header.tpl but i have overall_header.html    and there is

Quote:

<table width="100%" align="center" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">
<tr>
<td class="leftshadow" width="9" valign="top"><img src="{T_THEME_PATH}/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="9" height="1" /></td>
<td class="np-body" width="100%" valign="top">

i make change to 80% and it's perfect ,now still i can't see nes background blad_degrade.png
thanks a lot

Ok, it looks like another image is in the background - what is this? maybe right click on it to view it / view properties, then get its name - then check through your css to see where it is defined. if you see it in css, then change it to your image... or else... if you don't find it in css, it might even be in the overall_header file. Sometimes people override css definitions in the pages themselves...
