(SOLVED) Backround Image to behave like in Gamebox Template

Hi there,
maybe somebody wanted to do the same and was successful:
My Site looks like this right now:
www.into-focus.de
http://www.into-focus.de

I modified the colors and some other stuff I'm happy with. But my background Image which I changed to 1600x1200px looks good on "normal sized monitors". I'm working on a 24" Monitor, and when I collapse the bookmarks panel, the background repeats its self on the right side of the screen since because the screen size is bigger then 1600px. And with 16:9 Monitors being the standard now the problems only get bigger...

Also when I resize my browser, my background seems to stick to the left upper corner. But for example the gamebox template always stays in the middle of the browser window. I guess then the left and right space is just filled with the background color from the html index page, which happen to be black so it seamlessly blends with the image.

So what would I need to do to my background to behave like the one in the gamebox template?

Oh, and it took me about one half day to just figure out how to change all the colors. So please point me very specific to the files and parameters that should be changed. I'm not a css person

Thanx,
Martin

getting an error when i join your site...

but you will have to add no-repeat and center to your bodytag... if your website gets up, i can maybe work it out for you...

Hi explodedk,
thanx for your quick response. Your help did it. Everything works the way I want now.

Strange though that you can't visit my website. It works fine when I click on the link I provided...hm...

By any chance, do you know how to change the color from "green" that is used by the template for button background? Like in the voting pools (like on my site in the lower right corner).

This can't be done via switching a jpeg file, nor in the module suffix, so I guess its once again somewhere deep into the css files. But which one?

thanx again,
Martin

Hi explodedk,
figured the second question out myself. Thanx anyways

cool....

i still get this error :

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Call to undefined method stdClass::render() in /var/www/s15u63/html/components/com_jcomments/libraries/joomlatune/template.php on line 390


Ok, I can only reproduce this error when I click on the american language flag on the top right. I have joomfish and jcomments from joomlatune installed. But I was to lazy to configure them so far. So i guess they must conflict somehow.

But my standart language is german, so you should be direkted to my stadard german site which (should) works 100%.
