How do i make my own custom backgrounds?

I want top know if you can make custom backgrounds for your fourm and if you can how?

Yes you can make custom background and add them to your forum.

First get photo filtre, it is free online once you down load it, explore every thing on it, I made my green marbelized theme using photo filtre, and it has tons of other masques and filters you can use.

Once you have created your background image, then add your image to your forum using Css stylesheet.

its used css style and put the image as your background with no-repeat code

where do i find the no repeat script ?

i have added a background image but the centre graphic is repeating across the page and id like to stop it from doing that.
a simple explanation would be appreciated .
thankyou

In my opinion paint.net is a much better choice than photo-filtre because it's running better with less crashes and because it comes closer to phtoshop, but it's your guys' choice, not mine^^

So, if you add the following to your CSS stylesheet you won't have any problem.

Code:

body {
  background-attachment:fixed;
  background-repeat:no-repeat;
  background-position:top center;
}

The CSS-stylesheet is at
Admin Panel --> Display --> Colors --> The second header


Oh yeah, before you asked, there is no code for stretching a picture. I can only advise you to create background pictures in a size of 1024x768 pixels, this is the standard resolution. Add a fitting background color and people, like me, with a higher resolution have also something nice to look at.

thanks so much mr killer guitar, ive added that code and will try out out later today.xxx

no problem, I prefer Mr. Killerguitar^^

i think u could also download a program called Gimp. which should help you. I am not sure if it will work but you can try.
