Hi, there are few ways to do that, first try this:
HD-Background Selector (http://www.hyde-design.co.uk/free-jooml ... d-selector) this is a simple module that allows you to apply a different background style to individual pages on your Joomla website. You can select background colours, images or repeated patterns.

Hi! Hope you can help us.
I'm trying to change the background of the Musicity template with HD Background selector, but it doesn't work? Somehow the standard (grey) background keeps showing.. I've tried to put "body" as ID or "mainPage", but nothing.

Tnx in advance!

Try to add !important value for background color, use my example

Code: Select all

body {background: blue !important; }



Remember that we used graphic background not only color.

So I have to put that code as the ID in the HD-Background Selector module?
Didn't work... nothing happened.. :(

Btw, I want a permanent image as a standard background, so no colours or different backgrounds for modules etc.

If you want diffrent graphic background use

Code: Select all
body {background: url("..link to image...") no-repeat fixed #COLOR_CODE;}


... check features of HD-Custom CSS - which can also help you, if you know how Joomla modules works and basic CSS you will do it.

You can also try mmBackground - which comes with a range of options for how to display your images in the background of your site. You can choose to set one single fixed image for your entire
site, go page by page (by choosing what image for which page) or select a folder full
of images to be rotated in the background etc.


p.s. Your main question is connected with very old template (not supported!), second you need take in your mind that customization is not regular Template support. That's why I can give you only TIPS.

Thank you. I really couldn't get HD-Background Selector to work, so I tried mmBackground. Works like a charm....or so I thought. When I've enabled mmBackground, pictures on the site disappear. When I disable the plugin, they show up again...... is there a work around?
