Background not showing up

Been an hour. Anyone?

I put my banner in the
#head {
position: relative;
height: 140px;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center center;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;
background-image: url(images/burst.gif);

And I used divs wrapped around for the background.

I left the body alone for just text styles

Can I see the style sheet?

Easy one:
You have defined the “wrong” image in the page-source!

body { background: url(“https://a-splode.net/wp-content/themes/default/images/kubrickbgcolor.jpg”); }

Hope it helps! ??

Hm, that doesn’t help. I’m still not seeing the pink swirl in the top right corner.

https://a-splode.net/wp-content/themes/default/style.css
There’s the stylesheet. Knock yourselves out, lol.

Ahm – seems you can’t have two background-images this way.
I am not quite good at css but the styles are read from top to down (don’t know how to say that in english).

So “https://www.a-splode.net/wp-content/themes/default/images/body.gif” is loaded first and after that (in the page-source!) body “https://a-splode.net/wp-content/themes/default/images/kubrickbgcolor.jpg” gets loaded too – and “overlays” the first one! (not exactly correct I think but it sounds more logical this way *hehe*)

Oh, I understand. Don’t worry about your English, I didn’t even notice that you weren’t a native speaker. Heh.

Thanks for clearing that up. I’d forgotten that WordPress uses an image instead of a hex code to make up the background.

Fixed. The background CSS was in the header template, not the stylesheet.

WordPress is so confusing.

Thanks & you’re welcome!

One more thing: This just works with a horizontal resolution of 1024 pixels (though I think you already know) and only if there are vertical scrollbars!

OHHHHH you do want what I think. I think?
I see your swirl is cut off.
Try taking the swirl graphic and placing into IT’s OWN DIV, make it absolute and set the positioning like…

#LOOP
{
position:absolute;
left:_________px;
top:_________px;
width:_______px;
height:_________px;
z-index:1;
background-image: url(images/background6.jpg);
}

Get it to fall over top of the exsisting graphic you want it to match up with, Now would you place it on the Index.php or in the Header.php??

There’s where I am lost. I may have to acutally download Kubrick and mess around with it.Let me know.

I understand the horizontal resolution, I’ll try and sort that out later. But how do vertical scrollbars affect it?

My theme Pop Culture is a derivative of Kubrick. It’s taken a lot of fiddling to get it to look the way it does, and a lot of frustrated posts to the WordPress support forums too. Lol.

To be truthful, I forgot about the horizontal resolution thing. I can fix it easily enough, I just need to edit the graphic in Photoshop and replace them.

LOL guess I am too late… Kudos fht!

Yes, thank you fht. ?? All I need to do know is fix the horizontal thingy.

*smiles* nice thread!

The vertical scrollbars take up screen-width too but are not always shown (depending on browser!); for example: the FireFox-scrollbar under Windows XP is about 19px wide.

OK< the loop is still way over to the edge of the scrollbars… in IE 6.0 and in Opera… Opened wide

-200px left it or something?
Can you float left or right or something?

Sorry I am becoming fixated….lol
