Where and how do you change this?

I know it is the Background but how do you put a pic there? I see some sites change it daily and im am try to figure it out and what kind of image it needs to be? Thanks

That is going to be controlled by the stylevar, body_background, or hard coded

#body_bg {
    background: url("images/tf_ideal/blue/misc/body_bg.png") repeat-x scroll center top #FFFFFF;
    padding: 10px 0;


}

}

Thanks, so in order the insert a pic, one would need to make a png pic of that size and rename to body_bg?

No, you can name the image anything you want, just change the file location/name in the stylevar, or where ever it is hard coded.

Thank you ozzy, i guess most vb graphics designers would know the size of the pic?

[ozzy47]

Yeah they should, depending on what you are going for.

The only problem you will have is if you have a fluid design and your users use IE8.
Work with your image to keep the size of the download to a minimum. You do not want your first time user to have a bad experience. The desktop browser can easily cache this, other devices get pretty interesting.

I really added the information because the thread is useful to others trying to do the same thing. I did know your site was a fixed style.

With modern browsers, translucent themes are being used, it gets tricky when you add IE8, IE7 in the mix. Thankfully the whole lot of them is going away. Companies are the worst, they hang on to these old browsers due to their intranets being geared to them.

I really, really hate supporting IE... I really do.
