Hi,

Can you please use a screenshot with annotation to show me exactly what you want to change? I have taken a look on the site but couldn't find the grey parts.

Thanks,

Hi,

Please try adding this code to CSS Override:
Code: Select all
body#bd {
    background: url("http://www.soundstruck.gr/templates/gk_memovie/images/backgrounds/back200512low.jpg") no-repeat fixed center 0 #000000 !important;
}

And let me know if it helps.

Thanks,

it didn't work at the override.css....

I actually added the color #000 in line 114 at the head.php (/public_html/templates/gk_memovie/layouts/blocks/head.php) and it worked..

thank you very much for your help..
Code: Select all
  body#bd{

       background:#ddd url('<?php echo $this->templateurl(); ?>/images/backgrounds/<?php echo $this->_tpl->params->get("bg_image"); ?>') no-repeat<?php echo ($this->_tpl->params->get('fixed_bg') == 1) ? ' fixed' : ''; ?> center 0 #000000 !important;

    }

It's fine but you should remember to log that change because you may loose it when upgrading the template. I think adding the code to override should work because I tried with Firebug before, you might forget to enable CSS Override mode in template setting.

And I see it's working now loading the css rule from override.css

it seems that way, but look how the site looks now, that the file head.php is the oroginal and the override.css enabled.

Same result as Don Lee on my end, perhaps you need to clear your browsers cache.

See you around...
