please post a link to your site to illustrate the problem.
are you sure that the image is located where you point the css to?
did you clear the browser cache after the changes to style.css?

Sorry for the very late reply
My site can be found here
The image can be found here
No I didn’t clear the cache, but I have done since and it still doesn’t work.
I have also tried installing Background Control but had no joy.
How did you upload your image?
Is the path to the image correct?
If so, try this:
body {
font-size: 12px;
font-family: arial, verdana, georgia;
background: transparent url(/images/170412.png) fixed center top no-repeat;
}
the location of the image would need to be here to be found by your background style:
body { font-size: 12px; font-family: arial, verdana, georgia;
background-image: url(images/170412.png);
...
but there is also this section in the head:
<style>
<!--
body {background: transparent ;}
-->
</style></head>
<body>
which would overwrite any body background styles in style.css.
this:
<!--
body {background: transparent ;}
-->
is a html comment, but does not comment the style, which is still applied;

I have now put the image in the correct folder.
<style>
<!--
body {background: transparent ;}
-->
</style></head>
<body>
Which file do I find this in to adjust it?
Which file do I find this in to adjust it?
if you can’t find it in header.php, then this is likely to come from a function or plugin.
if you can’t locate it, try forcing your background styles by adding !important
– example:
background-image: url(images/170412.png)!important;

<?php if(get_option($shortname.'_custom_background_color','') != "") { ?>
<style type="text/css">
body { background-color: <?php echo get_option($shortname.'_custom_background_color',''); ?>; }
</style>
<?php } ?>
Is this it?
looking at your site, the ‘offending’ output is gone; what is there is ouput by your latest posted code, and this is ok:
<style type="text/css">
body { background-color: transparent; }
</style>
no action needed.
however, this:
background-image: url(wp/wp-content/themes/gridstyletheme/images/170412.png) !important;
should rather be:
background-image: url(images/170412.png) !important;
