change the line 20 in your template.css

ex :


body#bd {
background: url("../images/pattern/grey.png") repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;
color: #333333;
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 1.5;

}

And of course clear all caches.

Sorry, but what is the name of the template you use ?

And install Firebug on Firefox. It’ll help you a lot.

A illustration of what ? Of your website ?
Sorry, I don’t understand what you want.

If you want to change the background, go to the properties of your template.css and look at the body#bd {…}

So are you looking to change the background….but you want advertisements to only show on the left and the right?

In my experince with joomla the background graphic has to show only left and right…theres no way to control that with css.

Add a module class suffix to the module.

Everything is explained here :

oluwadare – I understand what you need. However, that needs the following:
1. The body of your site needs to have a common opaque fixed size.
2. Then you create a background with your left and right ads as you want – but important – have a fixed ‘center’ part of your advertisement page as ‘white area’, so that the white area will be taken up by the website content.

All the best. There may be some templates that do that already – otherwise you have to add that to your code.

my 2 cents.
