so if i understand correctly ...you want to use a background image on your site instead of a color ?

yes that's correct, on the cobalt theme we used before, i added the cellpic4.gif through the subsilver config panel in admin/forums etc, but the helius theme does not seem to use the subsilver as before.

hope this helps

ok that has done the background of the page it's self, not the background in the screen print, the area i detailed with the arrows looks to be within a table area?

index.php please take a look and see what i mean, it deff looks like an image as it has lines in the colour so not just a html colour code.

Drop the cellpic4.gif image into your themes/HeliusGray/style/images directory, then in themes/HeliusGray/style/style.css change:

Code:

.bodyline {background:#E5E8EE url(images/bg_cat4.gif);border:4px ridge #CCCCCC}

to:

Code:

.bodyline {background:#E5E8EE url(images/cellpic4.gif);border:4px ridge #CCCCCC}

ok sorted now thanks, not sure if that cellpic4.gif looks right as the blocks look ropey around the edges, so may just alter the colour to a html colour,

thanks very much for the help
