 * This is where I thought the background color was (lines 13-21):
 * body {
    margin: 0; padding: 0; font-size: 62.5%; /* Resets 1em to 10px */ font-
   family: Georgia, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif; background-color: #045A01; color:#
   999999; text-align: center; }
 * The above is found here:
    [http://jerryshamblin.com/wp-content/themes/mx4_theme/style.css](http://jerryshamblin.com/wp-content/themes/mx4_theme/style.css)
 * And the header.php that deals with the background image reads (lines 16-23):
 * <style type=”text/css” media=”screen”>
    body { background: url(“<?php bloginfo(‘
   stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/kubrickbgcolor.jpg”) repeat-x top; } <?php /*
   Checks to see whether it needs a sidebar or not */ if ((! $withcomments) && (!
   is_single()) && (! is_page())) { ?> #page { background: url(“<?php bloginfo(‘
   stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/kubrickbg.gif”) repeat-y top; border-left: 
   3px solid #000000; border-right: 3px solid #000000;} <?php } else { // No sidebar?
   > #page { background: url(“<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/
   kubrickbgwide.gif”) repeat-y top; border-left: 3px solid #000000; border-right:
   3px solid #000000;} <?php } ?> #header { background: url(“<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’);?
   >/images/kubrickheader.jpg”) no-repeat bottom center; } #footer { background:
   url(“<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/kubrickfooter.jpg”) no-
   repeat bottom; border: none;} </style>

 * I know that the background image is in the header. I was hoping the the background
   color was in the style.css. Does this mean that this theme doesn’t use a background-
   color? Doesn’t sound right. Maybe I’m still thinking of terms of HTML.
 * I understand that you can only apply one background to an element, but does that
   mean if you set that background to repeat-x across the top- the rest that is 
   not covered by the background is by default white?
 * Thanks Kassad for responding to my message. I’m still learning as I go.

 * I’m sure Mark left it off by mistake. It looks like he was hard at work on the
   site. I’m sure he’ll remember to add it soon. Nice design, Mark!
 * Best wishes!
