Hi,

First of all I am not a designer or a developer. This could be useful for a novice like me. Before you try this out make sure you ask an expert or take a backup.

I was wondering on how to change the background image of JA Opal.

What do I mean by this?

A template like JA Opal with the blue style normally looks like mainwrap-bg.jpg. The blue pattern looked awesome but I wanted to remove the boat from it. 4573

Open GIMP and download this image (/templates/ja_opal/images/blue/mainwrapbg.jpg). Cut the paste the thin line marked on mainwrap-gb.jpg image. Just the pattern from top to bottom. Now replicate this image and make sure you maintain image scale as 1440 x 814 pixels. It would look like mainwrapbg1.jpg. 4572

Rename the file and upload into the same location. My cut was fine but paste got a bit disturbed. However to see how it might look.

Refresh your front page. It should work now.

Take a look.

Finally JA is amazing. I am loving it.

Cheers!!!

Couldn’t you just create a gradient image in GIMP (or Photoshop) and use that?
