Hi guys,

I need help changing the background on the lifestyle studio press theme. I saw a tutorial on how to change it to a mono color. But what I what to do is customize it using patterns and gradients on my image editor. How would I be able to do that? The bg.gif file won't change when in the images folder when I try to customize it. Where is the background file located?..How would I be able to Change it and customize using gradients, etc?

Will hit thankyou button to anyone who can help.

Thanks

    It's easy to change the background colors in a StdioPress theme.

    In the theme directory you will find a file called style.css

    Look for the tag called body, it usually look like this:

    body {
    background: #E2DDCB;
    width: 980px;
    color: #333333;
    font-size: 12px;
    font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana;
    margin: 0px auto 0px;
    padding: 0px;
    }

    The number on the line starting with background controls the color.
    If you want an image instead of a colour, then chnage to make it look something like this :

    body {
    background: #E2DDCB;
    width: 980px;
    color: #333333;
    font-size: 12px;
    font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Verdana;
    margin: 0px auto 0px;
    padding: 0px;

    background-color: #93BBBC;
    background-image: url(images/your-bg-image.jpg);
    background-repeat: repeat-x;
    background-position: top;
    }
    This will make it repeat horizontally, but not vertically and make it mfit flush with the top of the screen.

    The new code is in red.

    I hope this helps

    If you are using the new version of Genesis theme and latest version of Wordpress, there is no need to go into the styel.css

    In your Wordpress Dashboard... Go to;

    Appearance >> Click on Background

    From there you can change your lifestyle theme background so easily.
