 * Hi,
 * I have this theme in my site, and I need to add a background image to the entire
   site. How can I do that?
 * Thanks

 * That would be a rather huge task since this theme is not prepared to have a background
   image, You would have to change all the background and background-color occurencies
   in style.css and style.php from currently white to none or transparent.
 * I will release a custom color css file before the end of the month on [http://wordpress.bytesforall.com](http://wordpress.bytesforall.com).
   That would enable you to easily change the background colors everywhere in the
   layout.

 * I will have to postpone the custom color stylesheet because Atahualpa is probably
   going to get a new layout model / engine (note: not a new design)

 * I did as BytesForAll answered and edited style.css and style.php. Of course a
   background image overall is not possible. If you like to see my site go to [http://www.pfarre-mauer.at](http://www.pfarre-mauer.at)

 * Hi, I’m also trying to set an overall background image. So, it’s not possible
   with Atahualpa?
 * thanks!

 * again it’s me. I updated to Atahualpa 3.2 at [http://www.pfarre-mauer.at](http://www.pfarre-mauer.at).
   The new version is amazing. All settings can be done in the admin backend. No
   need to change the CSS file.
    Now a “real” background image overall is supported.
   And, of course, a background image for the center area is supported, too. If 
   you update to version 3.2 then keep some time for administration.

 * I have been trying to put a background image to my webpage, but its not showing
   up. I am no sure where I made a mistake.
    I have tried…different settings on 
   the code suggested in the bytesforall forum but have not succeeded yet.
 * Is there anything I should set beside the one in body, text and links ?
 * thanks in advance, sussy

 * In the next version of this theme it would be nice to be able to change the site
   background color and to add a background image. Otherwise this is a very nice
   theme.

 * sussy,
    sorry for late response. Let me describe step-by-step how i changed the
   background image. As i run a German WP version its hard to give the correct english
   names. I hope you’ll find the menus and settings.
 * – login to WordPress backend (as admin)
    – open the Atahualpa theme option – 
   open “Body, Text and Links” – look at first line, you’ll see settings for “Body
   Style”.
 * Here we edit in the white window (edit section). The default settings are:
 *     ```
       font-family: tahoma, arial, sans-serif;
       font-size: 0.8em;
       color: #000000;
       background: #ffffff;
       ```
   
 * Now we insert a “background” statement. Now the setting look like this:
 *     ```
       font-family: tahoma, arial, sans-serif;
       font-size: 0.8em;
       color: #000000;
       background: url(/wp-content/themes/atahualpa3/images/bg_ground_center2.jpg) repeat top left;
       ```
   
 * But watch, you’ll need to correct the url path. It points to your background 
   file. In my case it’s a jpg-file.
