   backround under this… Can this be done ? [http://addictivehobby.com/wordpress2/](http://addictivehobby.com/wordpress2/)

 * Can you elaborate on what you mean by “under this?”?

 * If you want to change the background color of your featured slidehsow box, you
   need edit the following in style.css:
 *     ```
       #featured .slideshow a img {
       background-color:#eee;
       border:1px solid #ccc;
       padding:15px;
       }
       ```
   
 * and replace `#eee` with the rgb or hexadecimal color that you want.

 * It’s not the background color of the featured slideshow box.
    It’s the whole 
   page thats grey #303030

 * Upload your background image (names myback.jpg) to your theme’s images folder.
   Then edit style.css and change:
 *     ```
       #centercol {
       background:url(images/back2.jpg) repeat-x center top;
       float:left;
       font-size:13px;
       padding:10px 20px;
       width:630px;
       }
       ```
   
 * to
 *     ```
       #centercol {
       float:left;
       font-size:13px;
       padding:10px 20px;
       width:630px;
       }
       ```
   
 * and
 *     ```
       #columns {
       background:#FFFFFF url(images/columns-bgr.gif) repeat-y right center;
       height:1%;
       padding:0 0 15px;
       }
       ```
   
 * to
 *     ```
       #columns {
       background:#FFFFFF url(images/myback.jpg);
       height:1%;
       padding:0 0 15px;
       }
       ```
