You can go about it in two ways.
1a > acp > styles and templates > style manager > select - all styles options (for the theme you want to work on)
1b > Scroll down to Body > where the color is replace that with a url to an image like this:

Code:

url(http://www.yourforum.com/path/to/image) repeat-x no repeat

Make sure there's an image where the url points to. When I'm putting a theme together I park an image in the albums and use that url. Makes testing easy.
The alternate is:
2a > Leave the color data as is, to act like a filler. Just in case the image doesn't fit right in some browsers.
2b > Add to the extra css attributes on the right something like this:

Code:

background-image: url(http://www.yourforum.com/path/to/image);

background-repeat:no-repeat;

background-attachment:fixed;

background-position:center;

I hope this is what you had in mind. To see this in action go to http://animeappeal.com/forums/index.php?styleid=36

Thanks a LOT for your reply, i think we`ve hit the nail on the problem now, it still wont work, i tried reverting the Body field aswell:

So this setting would mean i should get a pink backround around the edges/filling like the initial screenshot right?

Nothing happens when i render the forum though, still transparent ... any ideas ?

Drat! It's possible he made an additional css attribute that would be easier for me to hunt down, then, tell you how to change it. That theme looks familiar. If you tell me where you got it, I can load it up on my system and look for an answer for you. I like playing detective.

Hey, sorry i didnt mention it, im not using that theme, it was just as a demo. This is the one i use:

Now, from the screenshot one would recon it displayed the body gfx around the forum, but once you dl and install that one, it wont render.

Any ideas ? THANKS for your help man
