Hi Saguaros,

Thank you for you’re answer.
I got a background in the events-layout:

But how can I show this background also in the magazine lay-out?

I would think that you would simply repeat the steps you took with/for the Events layout – with your Magazine layout. Have you experimented with this yet?

Hi Tom,

No(?)
the “EVENT’ lay-out” already existed in the demo with the background image.

I would like now to have a background image in the “Magazine lay-out”… :-[

What I’m suggesting is that the method should be relatively the same – i.e. the CSS rules to modify for the Magazine layout should be similar to those for the EVENTS layout – i.e. the CSS rules for each respective layout/theme, of course. Perhaps the line numbers may be slightly different, but the CSS rules governing the background for the main page should be relatively similar to where you should be able to (through a bit of trial and error) duplicate the effect.

A great online tool to use to try to figure out the file paths and line numbers for the CSS you need to work with is

Hi Tom,

I am not really super technical, only a visual designer.

I found this code in the event-lay-out

.layout-events body {
background: url(../images/ev-bg.jpg) no-repeat fixed center top #ffffff
background-size: 100%;

but I have no idea where I have to put this in the magazine layout…

So me a favor . . . set “Optimize CSS” to “Off” within your Template Manager–General settings,
and I’ll tell you exactly where to look for it. 🙂

Is “Development Mode” still on, by any chance? – If it is, can you switch it off (temporarily)? :confused:
