Custom Background Help Needed

[koshin]

Hi!

I saw this website using the same theme I use in the showcase (eleven40 theme)

http://belfryfellows.com/

I am working on my site and cant figure out how to make a background like they did - and also how to make a different one for different pages - I found a plugin that will put in a background - but I have no clue what size pixels to make it - also I noticed the background they use has different sections

Please enlighten me- I have spent 30 hrs trying to figure it out !!!

Their background is 300x243

Just put it in the CSS:

body {
background: url(images/old_wall.png);
}

Their file is 20k. I would have used a tiny file and used the "repeat" methodology... but 20k is not all that much.

All you need is 72 dpi.

Dev thank you very much for helping me out!! I used firebug and couldnt see that - how did u find it? do you think it includes the page breaks in color or are they different picture files. If you want different pictures for different pages - how do you add that into the css?

Thanks again!

I am really trying to learn so much new stuff!!!!

I think that is only part of the photos

They do the footer by CSS:

#footer-widgets {
background: #ADA793 url(images/footer.png) repeat-x;
clear: both;
font-size: 14px;
overflow: hidden;
}

Pretty basic stuff.

I see - OK - my picture seems to be cutting off  how do you make it 100%
