[osCmax v2.5x] Background image and plain colour!

[senteq]

Hi,
I have just started using oscmax, and I am trying to alter the background of the page. I can get an image to appear in the background, but what I want is a plain black background behind all the boxes/header/footer etc, and then have an image showing at the sides of this where the store would normally be blank. See example here:

osCommerce, Open Source E-Commerce Solutions

So basically, it wants to be plain behind the store for clarity, and then have an inage at the sides to make it look a bit more exciting. Anyone with any thoughts would be great!

Thanks

...go to url... remove frames... view source... look in the css file...

body, html {
background-image : url(/images/bg.gif); 
background-repeat : repeat; 
background-position : 50% 50%; 
background-attachment : fixed; 
background-color: #000000; 
   color: #4f4e4e;
  margin-top: 0px;
   padding:0px;
  text-align: center;
}

and what is the background? http://printingcanvas.co.uk/images/bg.gif

Why doesn't it bleed through on the tables?

#content {
background: #ffffff;

width: 973px; margin: auto;
border: 0px solid #999999;
text-align:left;
}
#header {
background: #000000;
width: 973px; margin: auto;
border-bottom: 0px solid #999999;
padding-bottom:5px;
text-align:left;
}

#footer {
background: #ffffff;
padding-top:5px;
width: 973px; margin: auto;
border-top: 2px solid #ffc99e;
text-align:center;
}
