Offhand, usually something like that would be in the <body> tag. <body background=""> I guess it would have to depend on CSS for a certain style or possibly in a table somewhere.

yep, just add it to your body CSS declaration within the STYLE MANAGER

in the "background" field enter something like:
#ffffff url(/image/goes/here.jpg) top repeat-x)
change the value of #ffffff
change the image url
additional "background" options:
scroll
fixed
top left
top center
top right
center left
center center
center right
bottom left
bottom center
bottom right
x-% y-%
repeat
repeat-x
repeat-y
no-repeat

So is this under style manager / default style / Main CSS / Body

and under the background i put in that code?

i tried that myself and it just makes te background all white, but doesnt show the image and i have confirmed the image link is correct.

In the Main CSS of the skin, you will find "Extra CSS Attributes". The top option is the "Body" One example I have is this:

background:url('http://yourdomain.com/urbanchaos.ps2/bg.gif') fixed;

ok, just successfully done this via a quick port of a vB2 version I did for someone else the other week.

In the body section

locate the background box and add the url of the image so that it is in the following format
#E1E1E2 url(images/background13.jpg)

In the extra CSS attributes box placebackground-attachment:fixed

You may wish for your page background to be transparent, so just delete the background from there.

That's it, you now have a fixed background.
