V2.20.01 is very old, use a newer version for security reason!
you can customize (override) the NukeNav with css.

your theme has many validation errors (347 errors & 2 warnings). the topiclist in the header of your theme use the old $dbi layer. i must comment out this s**t, to view the theme.

find $topics_list into theme.php:

Code:

//    $topics_list = "<select name=\"new_topic\" onChange='submit()'>\n";


//    $topics_list .= "<option value=\"\">All Topics</option>\n";


//    $toplist = sql_query("select topicid, topictext from ".$prefix."_topics order by topictext", $dbi);


//    while(list($topicid, $topics) = sql_fetch_row($toplist, $dbi)) {


//    if ($topicid==$topic) { $sel = "selected "; }

its better, you try an another theme! i recommend you the theme CT_RN or the new RickTido. both themes are tableless css themes. easy to edit and without so many errors. the HiTech theme ist very old and use old standards. not recommended.

but to your problem. you must edit the body class in the style.css into the style-folder.

search:

Code:

BODY {


   FONT-SIZE: 11px; BACKGROUND-ATTACHMENT: fixed; CURSOR: default; COLOR: #ffffff; BACKGROUND-REPEAT: no-repeat; FONT-FAMILY:  arial, helvetica, verdana, sans-serif; TEXT-DECORATION: none


}

remove

Code:

BACKGROUND-ATTACHMENT: fixed; BACKGROUND-REPEAT: no-repeat;

added for no-repeat background:

Code:

background:url(../../../themes/HiTech/images/mainBG.jpg) no-repeat fixed top;  margin-top:300px;

or added for repeat background:

Code:

background:url(../../../themes/HiTech/images/mainBG.jpg) repeat-y center top; margin-top:300px;

in both versions you can see, your mainBG is failed. you can set no-repeat with fixed and you can make a fade in to a single color at the bottom of you mainBG. but if you use fullscreen with 1920 x 1080, then you have white spaces at the left and right side.
