Changing a theme background to no-repeat

[Guest]

Good day.

As I am about to destroy something in frustration, I thought I would ask
more knowledgable people about this first. I modified the FP2003 Compass
theme with a custom .gif background based off of the same properties as the
original background_compass.gif file. I went into the comp1011.css file,
into the "body" section and added "background-repeat: no-repeat;" right after
the background-image statement. I was hoping to make the background a single
image and non-repeating.

No matter what I have tried, the background always repeats.

Any ideas where I can make an effective change for a single image in the
background and still maintain the theme?

Thanks for any and all help,
J

When you modify a theme, you must save it under a new name, and then remove the current theme and
apply your modified theme or FP will overwrite any changes.

I found a really cool script at dynamicdrive.com, it sets the pic and as the
page is scrolled the pic(not tiled) stays centered

Do not edit the theme css files directly
- FP recreates them from the theme .elm files
Use Format Theme Modify/Customize Text More Text style to add the body no repeat style
If you do extensive edits to the FP theme see granular editing at
