Background image help

[Trombones13]

I don't understand why this isn't working... In Style Properties -> General for my theme, I have
@imagePath/xenforo/gradients/echo.png, Repeat-X, Top
in the style property for Background under the Body tab. It looks like it should be working, as it's in the same folder as the category-23px-light.png file used in one of the other Style Properties, but it's not showing up at all. Any ideas?

Your @imagePath probably includes the "/xenforo" part, so try @imagePath/gradients/echo.png .

No dice there. Do I need to make a template edit as well?

I'd have to see the HTML/CSS in use.

Which one in particular would you want to see? I've changed a few, but I think the only thing I've done (other than for a mod) is changing @ colors.

I guess I kinda meant that I need the URL

Gradient is at http://dev.voiceradio.us/styles/echo/xenforo/gradients/echo.png.

You can change your URL back to @imagePath/xenforo/gradients/echo.png - that was correct.

There's no issue here, except you have a background specified on your header. Which means that you can't see the background on the body behind it.

Ohh...I had wondered if that would be an issue, but I guess I didn't fix it like I'd thought. Thanks!!

One other semi-unrelated thing: how do I make my gradient span the entire page length (like on http://teeveetown.com/forum) instead of having it repeat itself? *ignorant* bah

They use a much larger image : http://teeveetown.com/forum/styles/dxf/xenforo/body_bg.png

Change the repeat to repeat-x so it only repeats horizontally and not vertically.

OK; thanks!
