it’ll more than likely be in the css file. as an example, it might look like this
#header {background: url(/images/head.gif); }
just change the file at the end

in particular i’m looking for the file called kubrickbg.jpg.
can’t find it in the css file.
sure you don’t mean kubrickbgcolor.jpg
that is here…
body {
font-size: 62.5%; /* Resets 1em to 10px */
font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
background: #d5d6d7 url('images/kubrickbgcolor.jpg');
color: #333;
text-align: center;
}
that is just the greyy background, the header picture is kubrickheader.jpg
i cant find it anywhere as just kubrickbg.jpg…

kubrickbg.jpg is the image that sets the background for where the text goes in your blog. it’s 760 pixels wide, allowing you to make custom borders. i’ve posted a copy of this file here, just for your reference:
http://www.circuitbreakermedia.com/kubrickbg.jpg
ok, found it
for some reason it isnt in the main css, but there is another one added on, but i can’t find where it exists…it just seems to do so!!! someone else might be able to help you more, as i dont use this theme, but i think if you do this for now it should work:
add this to the #page part of your css
background: url("http://mydomain.com/wp-content/themes/default/images/kubrickbg.jpg") repeat-y top !important; }
obviously changing to the new file name.
the !important bit makes that statement override any others with the same tag.
so it should replace the other bit which is separate.
as i say, there might be a better fix

that seems to work. thank you. though i’ve now run into an additional problem. the point of this whole thing is so that i can add a border of sorts to both the left and right side of the blog (see the screen cap below for an idea). so what I did is, in the STRUCTURE section of the css file, under #page, i changed:
width: 760px
to:
width: 932px
This should accomodate for the new, wider border. But the result achieved is not quite right, viewable at the following screen cap that i took:

It’s obvious what i’m trying to achieve here from looking at it. The problem is also pretty obvious! How do I get the content of the site to line up properly with the new, wider border image?

nevermind — i did some tinkering in the css file and figured it out. had to change the margins in the body, sidebar, and header areas. thanks for all your help!
ive found the proper way to change this, without the !important function in the css.
open your header.php, and look for this, its the bit i couldnt find before
#page { background: url("<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/kubrickbg.jpg") repeat-y top; border: none; }
