The need to know :

I am currently using version 1.9.1.8 and my theme I want to modify is YAF PRO.

My Question :

How can I change my background color to a image?

-I have modified the auto fixed width to stay at 1280 by adding the code below to my default.aspx

Then adding the

A good general solution to this problem is to identify what the current color is and then search for that in your theme .cs file.

You can do this by taking a screenshot of your forum, then pasting it into a photo editor (Paint.NET is awesome and free) and using the color picker to determine what the hex value is (#AA11BB). Then search for that value.

When I post fp:mddubs in a topic, I'm leaving my footprint there so I can track it once I get into coding/supporting. (Yes I stole this off Mek 🙂, who stole this off Ederon 🙂 )

Or.....

Add this code to your body section in your default.aspx.

Just add that and upload your background image too your /images section on your server.

Thanks again logan for the help, I hope other users can benefit from my trial and error.

This is only good if you always want that image as a background.

To have it change with the theme you would have to change it in the theme.css file.
