Hello,
Give your site a nice and unique look by adding a custom background image. I recommend adding a small image that repeats itself to create a beautiful effect like this one:
1. Open main.css, located inside ./styles/{YOURTEMPLATE}/theme/*
2. Find
body,html {
and add right after:
background-image:url(http://path.to/image);
the whole line would look like this:
body,html {background-image:url(http://path.to/image);background-color:#fff; margin:0px; padding:0px;
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#333; font-size:11px;
word-wrap:break-word;}
<a href="http://blog.arvixe.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/f2.png"><img class="aligncenter wp-image-27044" alt="f2" src="http://blog.arvixe.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/f2.png" width="578" height="90" /></a>
To use a cool image I found on the internet, which I don’t own and I’m using for educational purposes, use the following code:
body,html {background-image:url(http://bgrepeat.com/128/128-174.jpg);background-color:#fff; margin:0px; padding:0px;
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color:#333; font-size:11px;
word-wrap:break-word;}
3. Save and Upload.
4. See your website now and smile.
Should you have any questions or problems, please let me know. Comments and suggestions are welcomed!
Best Regards,
Richi

background-image(http://path.to/image);
This did not work for me.

Hello,
Try forcing it to repeat it by also adding
background-repeat:repeat;. Should the problem persist, let me know.Regards,
