Open file gumax_template.css, and then find tag body, change the background value to your desired color or image file.

If this is the one you mean ...
Code: Select all
body {
font-size: 11px;
margin: 0; padding: 0;
min-width: 740px;
background: #000: url('/wiki/skins/gumax/images/comp.jpg');
background-repeat: repeat;
}
I tried it with and without single quotes 'on the pathname', no dice ...

There is a syntax error in your modification:
Try this:
Code: Select all
background: #000 url('images/comp.jpg');
Let me know if it works.

Hi Paul
I'm trying to get the 3.2.1 skin to work at
http://www.ebi.com.au/wiki and I can't seem to alter the mustard yellow colour on the background of the page.
I've changed the entry in the gumax-template.css that was noted above but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to this kind of stuff - is there something I'm missing?
In my case, the code reads:
body {
font-size: 11px
margin: 0; padding: 0;
min-width: 740px;
background: #000;
}
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

For GuMax 3.2.1, you need to open file gumax_orange.css, which is located under folder styles.

I have the same question, but I'm using GuMax 3.1, and I would like to add a repeating image to the background (where the white is in the skin). I tried a few things, but none of them worked.
I'm trying to add a stripped background similar to my main site (
http://www.7sideddice.com). Any suggestions?
I have tried adding the code to the gumax_template.css file as suggested in this forum:
Code: Select all
body {
font-size: 11px;
margin: 0; padding: 0;
min-width: 875px;
background: #000 url('images/bg.jpg');
background-repeat: repeat;
}

Yes, that will change the page background
Do you mean changing the content background as well?

No, just the page background. But even putting that in the css code, the background does not show up. Here is the code that I have:
Code: Select all
body {
font-size: 11px;
margin: 0; padding: 0;
min-width: 875px;
background: #000 url('images/bg.jpg');
background-repeat: repeat;
}
....
body, #gumax-page-footer {
background: #6E6E6E;
/* background: url('images/cbg.jpg') repeat; /* body background */
}
#gumax-header {
background: #000 url('images/gumaxcomheader.jpg') center 25px no-repeat ; /* header background */
}
#gumax-page {
background: #6E6E6E;
/* background: url('images/bg.jpg') center top repeat-y; /* page side background */
}
#gumax-page-actions {
background: #6E6E6E;
/* background: url('images/bg.jpg') center bottom no-repeat; /* footer background */
padding-bottom: 8px; /* 20px for page shadow width */
margin: 0 auto;
}
I'd like for bg.jpg to show up as the background in repeating pattern, but no matter what I try, I can't seem to get the image to show up.
Thanks for the quick reply earlier. ^_^

So that should work, did you put the image in right location?
