Hi, I'm Wal, this is my first post on this forum.
I'm hoping someone can help me. I got v4 about 2 weeks ago, it's up and running fine. I managed to work out how to change the header and footer text in layout.tpl, then from MIKE-N-TOSH I learned how to change the header logo - great! What I want to do now is, in layout.tpl, change the background colour to a faint, watercolour type, image. I have the image in default/templates/images but can't get it to display using <bodybackground="/images/myimage.jpg"> . Do I need to change the css file too? Is this code correct? Any help would be appreciated. ATB Wal.

Yes I would add this to the style sheet. Find the body at the top and add something like:

Code:

body { background: #fff url(../images/myimage.jpg); padding: 0; margin: 0; font: 0.7em Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6em; color: #454545; }
