I'm trying to figure out have to have a certain image (say, dots or whatever) as my background instead of a solid color. I followed different tutorials online, but it doesn't work with Market.
I have the image downloaded…but have not gotten anywhere. Thanks!
You'll have to first either designate "no custom stylesheet" in the Market Theme settings area, or choose a custom stylesheet you want to work with.
no custom stylesheet option: Edit the "style.css" file located in the main Market Theme folder.
using a custome stylesheet: Edit the "mkt_style.css" file located in the "custom-styles/xxxxxxxx/" folder of the Market Theme files. (where "xxxxxxx" is the name of the custom stylesheet you've selected)
Add this element to the "body" style:
and save the file.
I did that…saved files under my folder, etc. Not working. Is there something wrong with this code?
Description: Market Theme custom styleVersion: 1.0Author: MarketTheme.com*/
body { background-image: url(/linenbackground.jpg); background-repeat: repeat-x; background-color: ;
}
/* Link Color */a {color:#797979;}
/* #wrap {border: 1px solid #000000;}
You may not need the slash "/" in your image reference.
Provide a link to your site and I'll take a look at the code.
Thank you. I feel like I've read and re-read instructions…yet I just can't figure out what is missing!
Okay, so following your lead, I went through the code. After searching I saw that the style CSS was not matching what I had coded on my theme. Hmm.
Hello,
I tried changing the background in "style.css but it's not working for me. Can you give a more detailed explanation on how to do this for a non custom stylesheet?
So far, I've downloaded the picture/background to my computer and when I try to insert the name of the picture in style.css-it does nothing.
Please help….
Ok, if it's not for a custom stylesheet, then you'll make the change to your Market theme "style.css" file. This can be done locally, or through the Appearance editor menu area.
Near the top, in the "Body" section, you'll add a line like this:
and then save the file.
You'll then need to upload your changes, and also upload your "backgroundimage.gif" file to the Market theme "imgs/" folder.
Hello,
I'm using the latest update of the Market theme
http://kevinrobinsonartist.co.uk
Custom Syle: Surfnturf
Loaded image to custom-styles—–surfnturf
Added this code to mkt_style.css within the surfnturf folder
body {
background-color: #366C98;
background-image: url(bg2.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat;
}
When I remove the background-color the background goes blank but the new bg2.jpg does not show up.
Can you help?
Thank you!
