Hi,
I would like to add a background image or some kind of nice splash effect around my website that I am building with Ja Larix. Could you explain how I would add a border to the webpage like the (poor) mock up I have done with the site.
Regards
Craig

hi craigieb,

Please open templates/ja_larix/css/template_css.css, change classes as follows:

#ja-headerwrap {
background:transparent url(../../images/green/pop-up-tent-header.jpg) repeat scroll left top;
border:1px solid #FFFFFF;
border-left:1px solid #FFFFFF;
border-right:1px solid #FFFFFF;
border-top:1px solid #FFFFFF;
}

#ja-mainnavwrap {
border-left:1px solid #FFFFFF;
border-right:1px solid #FFFFFF;
clear:both;
}

#ja-sliderwrap {
border-left:1px solid #FFFFFF;
border-right:1px solid #FFFFFF;
}

#ja-containerwrap, #ja-containerwrap-fr, #ja-containerwrap-fl {
background:transparent url(../images/mainwrap-right-bg.gif) repeat-y scroll right top;
border-left:1px solid #FFFFFF;
border-right:1px solid #FFFFFF;
clear:both;
}

To add background image, please open templates/ja_larix/css/colors/green.css, at line 12, change body#bd to:

body#bd {
background:#FFFFFF url(path to your image);
}

This is only demo.

Hi,
I tried the above code and it made a mess of the header bar, with the cart logo moving to the right of the header image.
Would it not be more efficient to have to graphics, one for the left and right of the page, like shown below?
Thanks

Hiya mate,
I left it in the end….I couldn;t get it to work! I think it’ll take a few nights to sort out.
Regards
Craig
