# Change background structure

 * Hi, I´ve found a theme that I really like. Called Arras Theme but the thing is
   that the background is not as I want it to be. My site looks [like this now.](http://www.fisherpricebabymonitor.com)
 * And I want a background [more like this](http://answers.yahoo.com/). The background
   should go all the way up, and down. Is this even possible to change, and if it
   is, how?:D
 * I´m not sure if any code needs to be shown so if it is, just say what code and
   I´ll post it.

 * The background on the Yahoo Answers page is actually a very small image that 
   is tiled across the whole page. So first you’d need to upload the image you want(
   let’s call it ‘bg.gif’) to your themes “images” folder.
 * Then you’d need to edit your theme’s default.css (line 6) and change:
 *     ```
       body {
       background-color:#F0F0F0;
       color:#333333;
       font-family:'Lucida Grande',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
       font-size:12px;
       font-size-adjust:none;
       font-stretch:normal;
       font-style:normal;
       font-variant:normal;
       font-weight:normal;
       height:100%;
       line-height:normal;
       min-height:100%;
       }
       ```

 *     ```
       body {
       background:#F0F0F0 url(images/bg.gif);
       color:#333333;
       font-family:'Lucida Grande',Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;
       font-size:12px;
       font-size-adjust:none;
       font-stretch:normal;
       font-style:normal;
       font-variant:normal;
       font-weight:normal;
       height:100%;
       line-height:normal;
       min-height:100%;
       }
       ```

 * `background:#F0F0F0 url(images/bg.gif);` = element background
    `color:#333333;`
   = foreground (text) color
