Tried adding a background image to the theme.html and tried to put it in the stylesheet. no success.
Is this the right place for this or should I do this somewhere else?

stylesheet:
body {
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #1D1D1D; 
font-size: 11px;
background-image: url(../image.jpg);
}


greetings Erik

It just happend!
Got it. How actually is a bit vague, thought I tried it before...
But for anybody interested:
theme.html
<body background="<{$xoops_imageurl}>images/logos/IMG_0856.jpg" bgcolor="#96DDBE" leftmargin="10" topmargin="10" marginwidth="10" marginheight="10" rightmargin="10">

you can also do this only in the css sheet...
body {
    background : url(fond.jpg) no-repeat fixed center center;
    color: #000066;
    font-weight: normal;
    font-size: 12px;
    font-family: "Trebuchet MS",Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
}

for example....

I've tried adding this to my theme.html:

<body background="<{$xoops_imageurl}>images/cavanbig.gif" bgcolor="ffffff" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" rightmargin="0">


...and this to my style.css:
body {
    background : url(cavanbig.gif) no-repeat fixed center center;
    color: #ffffff;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
}


Neither of these work...any help on this?

I'm unable to view the site...maybe I don't have the right language pack installed on my pc?

Yes, the site actually loads but very little text displays at all, only the bits of English that are smattered throughout.

The second link didn't load at all ("cannot find server")...

Tried it a 2nd time and it loaded but it appears to be the same pages I looked through earlier...I'm not sure where to look for the answer I need...I even tried the search button on the left of the page but nothing showed up using the term "background".

Sorry, If I mislead you. The page itself is an example of how to use a BG image. if you look at the top LHS, you will see a BG image that loads in every page, it's part of the theme construction.

If you study the way this is constructed, you'll see the method.

My mistake...I misunderstood you. I looked at (view source) the page but can't see what they're doing here to get the background image to show...maybe I'm just too tired and need to get to bed (its 5am here).

Either way, I can't belive I'm having such difficulty with putting a backround image onto a website---I'd like to change the main image that you've already seen on the site's home page and drop a "ghosted" background image to display on all pages but I'm not getting anywhere with this. Maybe it's a problem with my theme, I'm not sure. Any thoughts?

(I'll check back on this later...I'm off to sleep, thank you for helping )
