Slight little background hickup.

[Caramellamorbide]

Hello,

As you can see here http://dizzys.smugmug.com I've tried adding an image to my background.
Some how it removed the background color of the "boxes".
At the top (around about popular photo's) you'll see a bit left of it's original.
Now, my question is, how can I loose the rest, cause I kinda like it without the original boxing colors.
I've tried lurking around, but couldn't find a solution to this problem:dunno

As I'm in the asking questions mode, how do I get all pages wrapped in pwetty flowers?
I've tried leaving out the ". homepage" as suggested in this tutorial http://www.smugmug.com/help/customize-faq under #40 but it didn't work.

TIA

The one thing I don't like doing is bumping a topic in forums,
but I really really would like some :help here if you don't mind.

TIA

So the thing is that the carbonite theme uses an image that is the middle part you're missing. You've replaced that middle part with your flowers by making those flowers the background of the body.homepage element.

Making this work for this theme will be an exercise in hair pulling frustration. It can be done reasonably well except that IE6 will have big problems with it. Oh and then there comes the z-index issues that we all love about the carbonite theme.

My advice is either 1) to pick another theme, or 2) give up the flower idea.

:cry

I wish I had better advice for you. If you really want to know the advanced way of handling this, I'll start the lessons immediately.

And just as soon as I wrote that I said :doh :doh :doh

It's all too easy to fix. Just change this:

body.homepage

to this:

.homepage #bodyWrapper

My bad :rolleyes

Hi Mike,

Your two replies made sense over here.

Your second reply worked fine, the result is exactly the opposite of what I was hoping for :giggle

My aim was to loose the entire carbonite image on my homepage,
can this be done?

I'm willing to give up my flowers :cry

Kidding..I don't mind loosing the flowers.
I saw my smugmug in IE6 version, and I must say flowers and IE6 don't go well together.

Love to hear from you again, and thanks for trying to help me out.

BTW, the my bad :rolleyes thinghy, don't worry about that.

These wise words were once given to me by a blond lady: "Everybody has a right to 5 minutes blondness a day"

Guess you were smack in the middle of your 5 minutes yesterday Mike :D

Ugh, I'm not very good at reading apparently. Do this:

body.homepage {

background-attachment: fixed;

background-image:

url(http://dizzys.smugmug.com/photos/310753120_dmaHE-M.png);

background-repeat: no-repeat;

background-position: left bottom;

}

#extraDiv2 {
display:none;
}

I changed the original thing back to body.homepage and took away the top background part. That better?

Thank you ever so much Mike, it worked!:barb:ivar:barb

Have a great weekend !

background-repeat: no-repeat;

I'm back...

Just today I saw that I have part of the carbonite image visible
if I dive into the galleries.
Now I have been thinking, the flower thinghy is nice, but it's time to grow up.
So basically I would like to know now is how do I loose
the entire carbonite background image on every page, including my flowery thinghy?

TIA
