Backround pic for my fourm main page

i was wondering how you can place a backround picture on your forums home page. i see that www.zelaron.com/forums did it. just look at there "X79" style. the backround image doesnt move when you scroll down the page. i wanted to do something like that.

Thats probably two modifications. One to add it to all the tables and another for the background.

There is a mod for the table one AFAIK, somebody else can help you with that.

For the outside table on go to your style settings - body tag.

Add a background="" tag there and put the URL there to the background image.

background="whatever.gif" in the <body> tag will do it

Ok, but will that keep the background image static? We don't want the BG image to scroll when you scroll down the page. Also, is there a hack to make all the Forum categories and backgrounds transparent?

[Dean C]

No it won't keep it static...

To make your forum categories transparent go into your forumhome_level1_nopost template and find:

PHP Code:

<td bgcolor="{ categorybackcolor}" colspan="6"> 

Change it to:

PHP Code:

<td colspan="6"> 

Btw ignore the gap between "{" and "categorybackcolor"

[Dean C]

I'm confused what page do you want the categories to be transparent?

I think Nemesis means the forum home page, and the background behind the forum name and description. Also, that'll just make the forum name background completely transparent, right? I guess we should of specified a little more, we want them just a little transparent. Is there a way to adjust opacity? An do you know of a way to make the BG image static?


Thanks
