MX4 Theme Background-color

The mx4 theme is a Kubrick derivate and the background is set with picture trough the header.php.
You, either remove the background picture or modify it to your taste.

I know that the background image is in the header. I was hoping the the background color was in the style.css. Does this mean that this theme doesn’t use a background-color? Doesn’t sound right. Maybe I’m still thinking of terms of HTML.

I understand that you can only apply one background to an element, but does that mean if you set that background to repeat-x across the top- the rest that is not covered by the background is by default white?

Thanks Kassad for responding to my message. I’m still learning as I go.

Several images are set in the header.
It may help if you would copy the respective part of your header.

This is where I thought the background color was (lines 13-21):

body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
font-size: 62.5%; /* Resets 1em to 10px */
font-family: Georgia, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
background-color: #045A01;
color: #999999;
text-align: center;
}

The above is found here:

And the header.php that deals with the background image reads (lines 16-23):

<style type=”text/css” media=”screen”>
body { background: url(“<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/kubrickbgcolor.jpg”) repeat-x top; }
<?php /* Checks to see whether it needs a sidebar or not */ if ((! $withcomments) && (! is_single()) && (! is_page())) { ?>
#page { background: url(“<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/kubrickbg.gif”) repeat-y top; border-left: 3px solid #000000; border-right: 3px solid #000000;} <?php } else { // No sidebar ?>
#page { background: url(“<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/kubrickbgwide.gif”) repeat-y top; border-left: 3px solid #000000; border-right: 3px solid #000000;} <?php } ?>
#header { background: url(“<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/kubrickheader.jpg”) no-repeat bottom center; }
#footer { background: url(“<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/kubrickfooter.jpg”) no-repeat bottom; border: none;}
</style>

Checking your blog, it seems you are on your way now ??

Image-repeating is a good way to create nice-looking pages. You can do it in the css, as well.

By the way, you cannot link directly to a php file, it will not parse. You may use some other utility, e.g. Gamerz’ File Explorer if you want to show your code.

Your site looks great ??

Thanks Kassad for working with me on this and all the advice.

Also thanks for you kind comment about my site! ??
