 * Hello,
 * I am currently trying to add a background image to my Virtue theme.
    I want the
   image to take place of the whole background.
 * I have tried two different plugins and different CSS codes in the styles.css 
   file with no luck.
 * I did not see any options in the theme options.
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 * What part of the background are you wanting to target, are you wanting a boxed
   look like this:

 * Hello,
 * That could work for what I want.
    I wanted a static background throughout the
   whole site without it being boxed.
 * How do I set a background like the page that you posted?

 * ok, well you can do it any way you want.
 * In the appearance > theme options > main settings you can choose if you want 
   the boxed or wide layout.
 * In the appearance > theme options > advanced styling there is an option to set
   the background for the contentclass (which is the inside box or main area if 
   full layout.)
 * And on the bottom of the advanced styling you can set the background for the 
   body class which controls outside the box (if you have the box enabled).
