How to add a background image - bridgend_steve - 2011-07-21

Hi all,

I've just started with Zenphoto and I'm using the default theme. Is it possible to upload a background image to the front page - or indeed to any page? If I can't do this with the default theme are there any themes that allow it?

thanks
Steve

Open your theme files and change the tag

Thanks - where do I find the theme files?

Within the themes folder within your installation.

Thanks - I'm still having some problems though. I'm working with this bit of script:

/ Main Layout
------------------------------ /
body {
background: #F5F5F3;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px 0px 50px;
text-align: center;
}

main {

text-align: left;
margin: 20px auto;
width: 685px;
background: #fff;
padding: 20px 30px 70px;
border-top: 1px solid #E6E6DF;
border-right: 1px solid #E6E6DF;
border-bottom: 5px solid #E6E6DF;
border-left: 1px solid #E6E6DF;

}

I find that if I change the two different "background" settings above to different colours, it works - so I know I'm modifying the right script. But when I set the background to an image file, e.g. "Picture 021.jpg" my page background does not change. I assumed I had to upload the "Picture 021.jpg" file to "images" folder in my themes directory, which I did.

Any ideas? Thanks.
