bacground image for all shop or for menu categories? (left side)? menu content(cart, conctact, searchengine)? Background for right content of shop (where are products) ? And for what version of QC? Basically in version 1.2 QC all bacground images are in CSS file named default.css ex.: body{padding:0px 0;font-family:Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10px;text-align:center;background:#248399;color:#000; background: url("images/pasek.gif") ;}
<-- bacground with web color + graphic bacground. You will see only background: url("images/pasek.gif") if set. You need set own path for graphic files. This is ideal for pattern but you can of course set a BIG file. Just try:)

ok, here we have: find this code in default.css (or you main teplate css file) #main{position:relative;float:left; margin-left:30px;padding-left:0px; width:500px;margin:10px 0px 10px 30px;} * html #main {margin:10px 0px 10px 30px;}
note, that is just MY css. Your data content should be bit different. Mainly, just put on the end of #main ,after margin: 10px .... ; background-color:"blue";} or if You want graphic patter or image ,put background:url("templates/your image folder/your graphic file:); after margin or background-color

hiya thanks a bunch .just the image is sooooo off it setes everything off center. what size should the picture be to fit or is that in the css file that i meant to set it to.
This places a background image (yourimage.jpg), horizontally centred, at the top of the DIV with id=main, and repeats it going down the page. If you need to adjust the width (or height) of your image, do it in a graphics package and re-save the image. If your image has a coloured background and you want to ensure no white space around the borders of your image, change 'transparent' to match the background colour of your image so that it blends in (eg. #FFFFFF or #000000 or #0000FF, whatever!). If you have a little image (like a pattern) that you want throughout the div, change 'repeat-y 50% 0' to just 'repeat'.
Avoid background mages with transparency in them unless you want to muck about with filters. No background image will affect the placement of anything else on the site. Be careful with certain browsers (eg. Opera) that require cascading of height and/or width properties in order to be able to correctly position (ie. center) a background image.
