Change background based on category

[KenSP]

How can I change the background on a post based on the category of the post? I am using Executive Pro.
I.E. - I have a series of post topics in Category1, another series of post topics in Category2.
All topics in Category1 are to have Cat1.jpg for the background, all topics in Category2 are to have Cat2.jpg for the background.

Thanks - Ken

You can define the CSS for the category class you're targeting in the style.css file. You'll set your background image or colors in that class and then use that class in either the 'Custom Body Class' or 'Custom Post Class.'

If you're wanting to do it via functions.php you can write your own function that use a combination of the 'body_class' filter and is_category to change the background without using the custom body/post classes in the post options.

Wanting to use an image. However, as the content may cover the image I may have to change the color.

The Custom Background Extended plugin you referenced may do what I want - will try it out in the next couple of days and post what happened.

Thanks - Ken
