customizing image behind text
#1
Hello,
This is my first time using GetSimple, so I was wondering if there was a way to put an image in the background of where they editable region is.

welcome here!

Please be more exact:

do you want to have an image on the page behind the "content-area"?
If so, it can be done with a CSS-background-image, but as we do not know which theme you are using we cannot give tips without prior information

or do you want to have a background-image in the administration area in the editor-text-field?
If so, why would you want to have that?

Cheers, Connie

I'm using a variation to the Innovation theme. Yes i want the image behind the "content area" and also bleed off to the sides. Hope thats more specific.

this is what i would do, if I have understood you:

Go to the Theme folder and copy and rename the Innovation folder to back up.
Put your background image in the theme's images folder, called say bg.png
Edit the css at line 3 to read
Code:
body {
    background: white url(images/bg.png) repeat fixed left top;
}
Except you may want to set a different colour, repeat, attachment and position.

That should give you this - see my screen01

Then go to line 131 of the css and under article make the background declaration
Code:
background: none;
or transparent or delete the line. That's still going to be a bit messy as in my screenshot so you may want to delete the border left and right declarations and all the box-shadow stuff too.

Is that what you wanted?
