How to set site background image?

[Bouncer222]

The site here: http://www.bigonline.org/content.php Uses a background image that repeats in the X axis which is this image: http://www.bigonline.org/images/bigskillz/body_bg.gif

How do I do the same thing? Please provide specific instructions, thank you!

In stylvars search background and then it is there where you direct it to see the image.

stylevars >
doc_background >

body_background

In "vbulletin.css", add:

html {
background-image: url(http://www.insertcredit.com/news/042008/phantasy.png);
}

Change url to your link for image ^^

This is what I did.

Now If only I can figure out what the end color of the image is so that I can set the background image to make them both blend in...hmm

You didn't have to make a manual change.

There is a background property for the entire HTML document you should use.

One question, how do I make the image appear like it appears here in the background..
