   I'm using Twenty Eleven theme and have created a child theme, changed the background image using 'Custom Background' option from the appearance menu.

   How do I get the same image to show as the background in the sidebar, main content section (where my test is) and the footer?

   Is it a case of using CSS?

   Cheers
   Jon

   the central background is set on the style of #page;
   in the parent theme, it is in line 315:
   

   #page {
   	background: #fff;
   }

   be aware that using the 'dark' theme option does overwrite it in /colors/dark.css

   Thanks Alchymyth, worked a treat!

   Any idea how to use a custom header image but a smaller image than the 1000px wide x 200px high? Want to use my own image but use one 100px high followed a few tutorials I found online but none seem to work!
