simpson7647 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Hi all, im after a little help regarding the background of my website. Can you first of all tell me how to change the colour of the background (which i guess would be a plain simple colour, black, red, blue etc) Last of all, i would like to know how to upload an image to the background. Also what size would the image have to be etc? Many thanks all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbfish Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 I assume you are using Prestashop default theme. You can then change your background color by editing /themes/Prestashop/css/global.css Under body, find the background-color and change it to whatever you like. As for image, try not to use a fix image as it will not caters to different monitor resolution unless you centered it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindsayanng Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 You seem to be under the impression that the look and style of the shop is done via your back end.. It is not. You need to customize the CSS (and sometimes even the HTML) to make those kinds of changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ive had a little place with the colours and not really what im after as im after a background image. So im after a background image but what do you mean when you say a fix image? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xbfish Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 A fix image is where the background image is not repeated. Unless you can get the rest of the background color matching to your background image. If not, it's going to be awful looking Try to use a consistent background image that can be repeated. It would be easier and much nicer. Do marked as solved too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What i was looking to do with the background is the following. my website is currently in the middle of the page with 2 white stripes of 'nothing' either side. So id like the background to be clear in the middle (so website is visible easily etc) but then images down both sides. Then for this to be repeated etc to the end of the page. Thinking of quite a few on each side and im sure worth ago. How would i do this and what size would i use for the background? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
