    Hi there,

    I am having trouble formating the background on my blog. I want to make the background image fit properly. I am using a fixed width theme called breathe. Can anyone help me?! My blog’s domain is http://www.karavita.ca/blog.

    Thanks in advance!

    Line 67 of style.css

    add 50% 0 to it:

    background:url( http://www.karavita.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/leaves.jpg) 50% 0 fixed;

    Also add

    html,body{ min-width:980px; }

    so background will be centered on smaller size monitors.

    Hi again,
    So the image did change size and looks great but then it lost its fixed attribute, so now when i scroll the background image moves with the content. Any ideas?

    you are a bit messed with your background css:

    background:url( http://www.karavita.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/leaves.jpg); background-attachment: fixed 25% 0;

    http://www.w3schools.com/css/css_background.asp

    background:url( http://www.karavita.ca/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/leaves.jpg) 25% 0 fixed ;

    might work

    Thanks! but that doesnt seem to work. My biggest challenge right now is trying to make the widget boxes untransparent. The content wrapper looks good but I would prefer to have the widget in the side bar not transparent. Any suggestions in that regard?

    Thanks so much for your help!
