Trouble with changing the white background

[blade007]

This is in reference to the Evolution theme. I changed part of the bg_pat.jpg file to reflect a black background, instead of the greyish, white color, but when you go to my site you'll see it did not change the whole background imblog[dot]ca

is there another file for the background? why didn't it change the whole background? thx

your blog looks ok.

Which bit do you want it to change?

well if u look at the demo.. http://www.bloggingtips.com/demo/index.php?wptheme=BloggingTips.com%20Evolution%20T heme%20-%20Blue

and compare it to my blog imblog[dot]ca, you'll see the top part of the greyish, white background was changed when I modified the bg_pat.jpg pic, the bottom half of the page is still the same even though I got rid of the whole grey part on that pic and replaced it with that black effect, I'm assuming there is another pic just like the bg_pat.jpg that represents the bottom half of site, but I've looked in all images folders and it seems it's not included

Hey Blade

I like what you've did with the nav bar.

With regards to your problem. In the theme the image blends into the background colour. Therefore you would have to change the background colour of that.

You can do this in the body tag in your css file

Look for

body {

color: #333;

background: #F1F3E8 url(images-blue/bg_pat.jpg) repeat-x;

font-family: "Lucida Sans Unicode", Verdana, sans-serif;

font-size: 75%;

line-height: 1.6;

}

and change background: #F1F3E8 to whatever colour you need :)

how would u just have the image repeated as the whole background

I'm not 100% sure what you mean. You seem to be using a different theme now anyways on that blog so don't think it's an issue.

I think the OP means how to remove the horizontal limit on the background and have it repeating both across and down. If so then (to the OP) just remove repeat-x from the CSS in Kevin's post. But I could be wrong, and if so, just ignore me ;)
