Hi folks,
I’ve been searching the web and these forums all night with no success. Is it possible to change the background of the main section of the JA Purity II template from white to an image? If so, please let me know what line of what file to edit.

Thanks for the help!

Hello, good morning,
What do you mean by “main section”? Part below navigation?
In file template.css you could use this line (about line 871):

#ja-container .main { padding: 20px 0; min-height: 300px;}
add your background-rule in there.
You probably will have to change other background-elements to ‘none.’

Good luck,
Micrantha

Yes! That’s it. Thank you very much.

You wouldn’t happen to know which line would set the background in the left and right margins (to the left and right of the main container), would you? Or better yet, can I get rid of the margins altogether so I don’t have to blend the background?

Hello,
Maybe you search this line, just above the one you just changed:

#ja-container {
background: url(../images/container-bg.gif) repeat-x top #fff;
position: relative;
z-index: 5;
border-bottom: 5px solid #ccc;
}
These rules take care of the general background; so you can delete the image and adapt the color; or you can put an image in it.
Good luck,
Micrantha

Ah-ha! I found the line, but I’m using a version of this template that was modified by another user on this forum (denis25). So modifiying template.css wasn’t working for me. Since I’m using a blue theme, I had to modify blue.css. Thank you for all your help!
