Change Main content wrapper background to an image
-
Great theme, my client and I love its functionality. Could you please tell me how to change what is controlled by the Color Options to a background image? I’d like to change the Main content wrapper background from a selected color to a background image. Thanks!
This will probably need to be done with custom css.
Can you please provide a site for reference? I know what you’re talking about, but it would help to have a visual.
I am working with http://aapcbugs.com/.
The URL of the background image is:
http://aapcbugs.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/woodgrain.png.
Thanks for taking a jab at it.
ModI did it. You can actually have a lot of fun with it. See this post: http://blog.kjodle.net/2011/08/30/creating-a-child-theme-for-this-blog/

Dangit… you beat me!! Here is how I did it.
Add…
.sidebar h3 {
background-image: url("http://aapcbugs.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/woodgrain.png");
}to your custom css.
ModYeah, you can do a custom background image for just about any image. The only issue is whether or not your text is legible. Here’s a neat Photoshop trick to help out with that (although I actually used GIMP): http://blog.kjodle.net/2011/08/27/how-i-created-the-background-you-see-here/
Yep yep. Very cool!! Dangit Ken… my to-do list keeps getting longer and longer.
One sec, Erik. Lemme go fiddle some more.
What are you referring to by the main content wrapper? Be specific and reference the portion on your site which you are speaking.
I was assuming you meant the widget headers that had the little bug crawling on it 😉
