well yesterday i was up 32 hours so maybe it was just me lol but i am rying to edit the background on the theme 3d-fantasy. Now after reading many many posts it seems all i should have to do is edit the /style/style.css file or the theme.php file. now i have fiddled with the codes in both of these files and looked around thru the rest of the theme but as change the background colors in these places nothing seems to happen i would like to either use my background image or a blank image to allow the background that seems to be show thru. the background that is showing up there is comming from the top center block where i added a background code but it seems to surround the out side of the page not the actual center block. so im kinda lost here i would like to change the background in the center blocks but it just seems to change the outter layer of the page. leaving a big white square around the center blocks. which looks like bathtub if ya ask me lol. so any help would be great.. thanks for your time and effort all of you here at codezwiz

you can do it through the style.css file. For that theme, look at the top portion that has


TD {FONT-FAMILY: Verdana,Helvetica; FONT-SIZE: 11px;}


just add the background tag into that line and whatever color you need. You will still need to create images for the left and right images of the blocks and center message area icon_razz.gif

then it'd be:

TD {FONT-FAMILY: Verdana,Helvetica; FONT-SIZE: 11px; background: #YOUR HEX  url('http://URL_TO_IMG/img.jpg'); }


It's still a good idea to have the hex color code in there since the color is what will show up first before the image.
