    Default Background Image

    I am trying to replace background with a gif file. I have been all over forums and OSCdox guide with no luck. I tried to change in Stylesheet.css and Stylesheet.css.css to no avail. I can change the color of the background but not insert a repeating gif!

    Any help!

    Background image for what? The whole store? The header boxes? The info boxes?

    you need to set the styles, using the stylesheet.css found in the catalog/tamplates directory. then you find the place, so for example if it is the infobox header, you would find the following:

    Code:
    TD.infoBoxHeading {
      font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
      font-size: 10px;
      font-weight: bold;
      background:url(../../images/header_navigation_bg.jpg)0 0 repeat-x;
      color: #000;
    }
    and use the background format as seen above.

    When you use background: as opposed to background-color, background-image or background-attachment, it gives you the ability to set other parameters.. so in the above code, i want the image to start 0 pixels from the top, 0 pixels from the left, and i want it to repeat horizontally (on a x axis)

    hope this helps

    Don't you just replace the OSCMAX_bg.gif file with your own (renamed to OSCMAX_bg.gif) in the /images/ directory?

    well, depending on the template, there could be 4 images to change. which template are you using? aabox?

    of course, if you were trying to change the background of the whole site, then yes you would just save as the existing ones and watch it change! note there are 4 images that make up the background to the aabox template
