Try this in stylesheet, making note to change background img url

Code: Select all

body {
	/* Text-Sizing with ems: http://www.clagnut.com/blog/348/ */
	font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
	color: #828282;
	background-color: #FFFFFF;
	background-image: url('IMAGE URL GOES HERE');
	/*font-size: 62.5%;			 This sets the default font size to be equivalent to 10px */
	font-size: 10px;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 12px 0;
}

Thanks i don't know if this is too much to ask but can you give me all the file edits for the skins link say if i want to use another theme i just want all the mods that you install file edits just for the theme.

phpBB3 doesn't come with mods, whatever is on phpBB3 is their standard build, and that way it's easy (until you add mods) to change to any style you want.

ah, it's cause it's in the phpBB thread that confused me.

If you are not a newbie, it's easy to grab the edits. Just select your theme, see if it's either prosilver or subsilver based, and grab the edits from the html.

I know what you mean, but I guess it only has to be done once, and worth it for the style you want to run with.

I really like this! I know it's some simple code to you, but it sure can add some modest fizzaz when used properly, Thanks ALOT!

I even was able to get a hold of a seemless pattern creator. That was the icing on the cake :!:

I tried this code here, but it didn't work.
What do I have to do to get it to work? :P

Nope, not working.
At the moment this paragraph in the common.css file looks like this:

Code: Select all

body {
	/* Text-Sizing with ems: http://www.clagnut.com/blog/348/ */
	font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
	color: #828282;
	background-image: url(http://doog.pri.ee/foorum/lexusfoorum/styles/ProNight/theme/images/background.jpg)repeat-x 0 0;
	/*font-size: 62.5%;			 This sets the default font size to be equivalent to 10px */
	font-size: 10px;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 27px 0;
I tried the repeat-x 0 0 with and without spaces, but neither worked.
