Upload the image to your server then go to the stylevar controlling it and enter the image url it should look something like this...... url(images/misc/vimarcimage.jpg) and then decide if you want a repeat, x-repeat,y-repeat or no repeat, you might to experiment until you get it how you want it.

Try different size images, also did you try the repeat options?

Post a link to your site so i can see what you have so far.

Do me a favor, add the image you have to the background temporarily then take a screenshot so i can see how it displays.

Do you want your background to work like the one at this link (http://www.livinginkentucky.com/forums/forum.php?styleid=3) ?

You have to alter the background image so that the center portion is the same width as your sites width.

I am guessing the image you are using is a single image!
Try cutting the image into two, Have one for the left and the other for the right. When you change the screen width, the two images will stay in they assigned position and the blank space in the middle will be the only one to change.

Wow ! I'd like to see an example of that. Two background images?

in stylevar i tried to do this:

repeat
horizontal 1350 px
vertical 2000px

[K4GAP]

Make it .....

horizontal = "center"
vertical = "top"

without the "" of course

Make sure you use the proper code for image path.
Such as ..... url(images/k4gap_dark/misc/bg.jpg)

This is (http://www.livinginkentucky.com/forums/forum.php?styleid=14) one of my styles I use that code on.
