Use image background and with transparent tables

[doswald]

Hello friends,

Just want to know if there are users here implemented what I have in my mind. I want to use an image background in my Integramod 1.3.2c , I want the said background to be fixed whenever the users scrolls down. Also, I want to have a transparent tables which can help to fully view the background image.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks to all.

Rgds,
Doswald

not sure what you mean. If you want a large space you can use the spacer.gif in your images folder and assign it a large height and width

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

<table><tr><td><img> </td></tr></table>

Thanks for your reply HelterSkelter, however, my idea or should I say my plan is to have an image background (i.e. Christmas Village or Snowing viilage for Christmas picture), I want this to be in the body as background. Now, for the users to see the full image, I think a transparent tables are required to be able to view the said image.

Hope I clarified something <img>

Regards,
Doswald

He means he wants one image as the entire background and when a user scrolls the page, the image remains stationary. Then he wants each of the blocks to be transparent so users can see the background.

This wouldn't be too hard, I need to know what theme you are using, and I need you to provide the theme's .css file.

I'll be gathering the code for you meanwhile <img>

I use a fixed background image on my site. In the CSS file for your style,

FIND:

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

/* This is the border line & background color round the entire page */

REPLACE THE NEXT LINE WITH SIMILAR].bodyline{background:#000000;border:3px solid #212121;background-image:url(images/corporate_mist.gif);background-attachment: fixed;);}[/code]

Change the settings above to match your style. The operative code to be added is the fixed variable. I am not certain what effect, if any, would result if you used this variable on background elements other than the main background. This has a nice effect when scrolling down a page. The text scrolls but the background remains fixed.
As for transparent tables, I am not certain on how to do such.

removing the backgrounds from the blocks is easy by removing

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

          <BEGIN>         class="row1"         <END>

from portal_page_header.tpl, portal_page_tail.tpl and layout/(whatever layout your using)

You can also edit the transparency of the images, such as cellpic3.gif, by opening it in photoshop, saving it as a .png, then open the png and make it transparent. Edit your .css to rename cellpic3.gif, to cellpic3.png...etc

Here is your .css file with the added changes for a stationary background. Change "(images/background.gif)" to whatever your image is.

As for making your blocks transparent, you should follow HelterSkelter's suggestions
