    Hi

    Love the Corpo Theme. thank you for sharing

    im a graphic designer venturing into the world of web design.
    im using the corpo theme as a great starting point for one who is new to coding,

    and what i want to do is change the

    #header, #footer {
        background: #303030;
        min-height: 100px;
        position: relative;
        display: block;
        width: 952px;
        left: -46px;
        padding: 0 40px;
        -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0,0,0,.2);
        -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0,0,0,.2);
        box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0,0,0,.2);
    }

    #header:before, #header:after, #footer:before, #footer:after {
        content: "";
        position: absolute;
        display: block;
        border-style: solid;
        border-color: #303030 transparent transparent transparent;

      bottom: -15px;
    }

    to incorporate an textured image file, like in an background.

    im using the “my custom css” plugin

    is this at all possible?
    thank you for any help

  • Hi,

    It is possible to do this with CSS. You’ll want to play around with the css background property in your custom CSS. Look at background-image, background-repeat.

    Thank you for the reply, i see that perhaps i was not spesific enoug (or it is my lack of programmingskills)

    i have a texture on the background of the theme, and this works great.

    what i want to do is use the same texture in the head banner (tho in another color,) and this is where i get stuck.

    Good that you started out with customizing the CSS.

    You now say you do it through a plugin.
    Maybe you could use a different approach, called ‘Child Theme’. The WordPress Codex has a topic on it, just search for it.

    Setting up a child theme is easy and will allow for many customizations.
    Moreover, you can be sure that the child theme overrules your current theme.

    If you, for example, set a custom background on the correct element, but it is later on overruled by the theme itself, you won’t see the outcome. So I’d say using a child theme is a more reliable way.
