Adding Background Image to Acidtech

[SinsOfYesterday]

Hey.
I was just wondering if someone could point me to the CSS I'd need to change/add if I wanted to include a background image in Acidtech?
This is for phpBB3.

Thanks in advance.

Quick look at the css...
body {
/* Text-Sizing with ems: http://www.clagnut.com/blog/348/ */
font-family: "Lucida Grande", Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
color: #FFF;
background: #242424 url(images/body.gif);
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0 5px;
}
background: #242424 url(images/body.gif);
So you should just need to change that image?

Thanks for the reply Mortality.
That does indeed change the background. However, I really wanted to change the space between the forum categories on the forum index. If you know what I mean?

Thanks.

[Mortality]

not really..

I have highlighted what i think you are saying please confirm.

[SinsOfYesterday]

Yeah thats the part I mean.
Is there anyway to either make it transparent or change it to display a background image?

Thanks for your help.

that gap is caused by a <br /> tag if you removed it there would be no gap between the forums then you could mod the hdr_left hdr_right hdr_middle images to include the image that you want in the gap at the top of them.

Do you understand or should I use pictures :P?

Cant realy think of another way to do it right now.

I understand what you're saying but there must be some CSS or image creating the grey area between the categories etc.

Other wise it wouldn't be grey surely?

I don't want to remove the <br /> between the categories; just change the colour to either transparent or if its an image, then change it to a different image that will cover the entire background of my forum.

I hope I made more sense this time. Hah.

I just tested swapping body.gif and I see what you mean now :)

#body-simple {
background: #191919;
padding: 5px;
}

Is the bit you want I think (have not tested)

so if you change it to

background: #FF0C00;

your forum should go very red.

Hey again Mortality.
Nope, I tried editing the code you said and nothing happened.
If you've got any other suggestions, I'm all ears :)

Thanks for your help so far.

[Mortality]

did your clear the cache?

[SinsOfYesterday]

Yeah I cleared it and still no change.
I don't know whats creating that grey area. Its annoying me haha.

[Mortality]

#contentrow {
padding: 5px;
background-color: #191919;
}

try changing that one :)

[SinsOfYesterday]

THATS THE ONE!
Haha.
Now whats the CSS for transparency? Hah.

Cheers for the help buddy!
