How can i change the jpg, background to a pattern,
The default background is a huge grey jpg, and i want to change to 500x500 pattern png, but if a replace the default picture for the png, it show a square image in the middle of the screen, i want the pattern showing as a total background.
I hope this makes sense

Thank you

You can use below css code in your templates/gk_templatename/css/override.css and make sure to enable it in template settings > advanced settings > css override "on".

You can use any of the 2 classes as both have a background property.
Make sure image location and name is changed to your image name and location.
Default Location is "templates/gk_templatename/images/"
Code: Select all
html { background: url("../images/myimage.jpg") repeat scroll transparent;}
body { background: url("../images/myimage.jpg") repeat scroll transparent;}


See you around...

You are using wrong code in your override.css that is why it is not working. Change your code as below.

Code: Select all
html { background: url("../images/style3/bg_abstract.png") repeat scroll transparent;}
body {  background: url("../images/style3/bg_base.png") repeat scroll transparent;}


See you around...
