Background image in zen-cart

[KNM Computers]

Hi i want to pull the background image of my website, but then i downloaded it from server it is only a thin long strip of the background, is there any way to stretch this image to what ever pixels i want?

you can make the background image any size you want.

the reason its only a thin strip is because its only a blue gradient, so to fill the screen the same image can be repeated horizontally insteading of loading one huge image, cuts down loading times doing it with a thin strip

in includes/templates/coolblue/css/stylesheet.css at line 11

body {
    background: url("../images/background.jpg") repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
    color: #000000;
    font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;
    font-size: 62.5%;
    margin-top: 20px;
}

that controls the body tag and the background image, if you dont want to have the background image repeating, change this line:
     background: url("../images/background.jpg") repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;

to this:
    background: url("../images/background.jpg") no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;

this repeats horizontally only:
    background: url("../images/background.jpg") repeat-x scroll 0 0 transparent;

and this repeats vertically only:
    background: url("../images/background.jpg") repeat-y scroll 0 0 transparent;

choose which ever line you need from the above ^^

to change the background image, just save the new image as background.jpg and upload it to
includes/templates/coolblue/images
and overwrite the original,

when viewing your site for the first time after uploading the new image, make sure you give the screen a hard refresh (Ctrl and F5 at the same time)

Thankyou seamus but it's my fault i didnt word it  correctly...... I have pulled the background image from server ( well copyed to desktop) and want to resize (or strech) it maybe with adobr fireworks  to a size so i can upload it to total web soulations so then the payment  page when someone pays by credit/debit card it looks like a page from my web site?

[seamus]

you'll be ab;e to adjust the size of the original image using fireworks,

although you should be able to use the image as it is and just have it repeat as it is on your site, to fill the page on their payment page,
its only controlled with a bit of css its somthing that should be able tobe done on the total web solutions payment page

Hello,

You can use.background:url(imagename) repeat-x  scroll 0 0 ;

in your css to stretch along the background .
