Fantastic – thanks very much for your help, I’m delighted this was possible, especially as I’ve just done some photos for a wedding which will present better with a background.

Not sure if you’re interested/aware, but if you hit F11 for full screen instead of the FS button in the plugin, the background remains quite happily?

As an aside, Apple et al seem to be suggesting that the bell tolls for Flash – do you have plans to upgrade the plugin using some other technology for future?

(oops – if you hit the FS/Full Screen button, the background stops working, too)

You are truly a fine man, thank you! The tiniest of issues remain – curiously, adding this little CSS script cancels out the back button which was helpfully there before (it now says Gallery, but there is no hyperlink to take you back to the main site).

This is by no means the end of the world…unless it’s an easy fix?

In any case, I’m delighted, so thanks again.

(just to prove I’m not a complete numskull, the exact code I put into the style.css was as follows:

div.flashalbum {
background-image: url(‘https://www.andrew-faulding.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/wood-texture.jpg’);
background-position: left top;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}

Thanks again – tried that but unfortunately no change (feel free to have a peep at any of the posts here: https://www.andrew-faulding.co.uk).

I wondered if it was the theme which wasn’t co-operating so tried installing a different theme and added the appropriate instructions to the css file but no joy.

Went back to the original theme and edited every CSS file I could find! Still no joy… Schoolboy error on my part somewhere?

Hi Rattus,

Many thanks for your response – unfortunately I don’t know how to interpret your instruction. Could you clarify exactly which files I would need to edit? I’m quite happy playing with code, I just can’t fathom which files need changing (I don’t understand the relationship of the files, sorry).

If I go to WordPress Control Panel and FIAGallery, Skins, Active Skin Options I can indeed set the background colour to transparent which I’ve done. I just don’t know where to go next!

Thanks for your patience,

A
