Issues setting a background

[studentkrubb 0]

Hello, I've now come to the phase of assigning a background to my site. But somehow it doesn't work. I'm using full-width design with canvas and have set my background accordingly: Any thoughts or do you need any other information first? Thanks!

Hi Joakim - It's hard to say without seeing your CSS. Once you click "save" on the settings, does the image still appear in the admin area there?

Hi Kate, I understand - which part would you like to see, or rather - where do I find it? Yes the picture still appears, the screenshot is taken several hours after saving. Thanks!

Post your live link once again, you may check you dynamic.css file to see what's going on with the CSS.. (view source, look for dynamic.css?ver.... )

http://nysida.studentkrubb.se I think a

{background-color:#ffffff;}

might be covering it up, can't find it though.

That's exactly the problem, I've seen it many times before. Drop this in Custom Code > Custom CSS: `body #page{background-color:transparent}` Thanks, Bryan

Thank you Bryan! Sorry to bother but this made the footer transparent as well, how do I best solve this? Thanks!

[bryan-hadaway 3]

We'd now need to give the footer it's own background color: `#footer{background:#000}` It doesn't appear you have anything going on in the footer so ultimately you might just want to hide it all together: `#footer{display:none}` Thanks, Bryan

Much appreciated!! I can't seem to find the div id of the top piece, right above the page-canvas where the facebook coding goes. Would like to color it back as well so that I may proceed working with that part and the footer. Thanks!

Have you already discovered Firebug?: http://www.pagelines.com/docs/changing-colors-fonts Thanks, Bryan

Yes, the last (or rather first) div id is "site" and then there are plenty of scripts and link id's. Am I looking at the wrong place?

[bryan-hadaway 3]

Actually, that area at the top is showing the white of your image, so you'd want to color the top of your image. Thanks, Bryan

I've tried lowering the vertical position but the picture doesn't seem to be overlapping. Here is how it looked before adding the background (the top red color disappeard with

body #page{background-color:transparent}

) Any thoughts? Thanks!

Can you revert back to what it was looking like in the screenshot posted so I can look at it? Is it the red part you want to change?
