[Theme: Restaurateur] Tiling vertically along BOTH left and right?

  • So, this might be a very easy CSS question, but I am utterly confused about how to do it.

    The theme lets you specify a background image and have it tiled either horizontally or vertically. I wanted it tiled vertically, but I would really like the background image to tile along both top-left and top-right. Right now, I have it selected for top right. So that means somewhere, there is code like this: 

    background-repeat: repeat-y;
background-position: top right;
background-attachment: fixed;

    First off, I have no idea where this is… I can’t seem to find it in the theme’s styles.css So if anyone knows where it is, I would really like to know…

    And I guess I would want to add:

    background-repeat: repeat-y;
background-position: top left;
background-attachment: fixed;

    Is that how I’d do that? Where do I put this? I want basically a tall image to be framing both sides. Obviously, I was able to sort of do it by just making a really wide background image, but that doesn’t give me a nice even look of aligning it to a side of the page.

    Anyway, I’m no CSS expert, so any help would be really appreciated!

  • Hi, you cannot tile along left and right side without it tiling in the middle… it won’t work that way ??

    You can repeat horizontal, vertical, or you can have a background image that is scaled to fit 100% of the width (but that would look weird in various sizes of a Responsive theme)

    Alternatively you can create a left and right padded div that have the background images set to the image(s) you are referring to here…but again, that would get weird very quickly in a responsive layout because of scaling images.

    I’d say your best bet is to consider having the background image repeat horizontally and then put a div over the top of that with a background color, to “hide” the repeating images in the middle section.
