[SOLVED] Extended header image
 

I want to extend the header image beyond the set with of the page. So the same header image as set in the header itself needs to be outside the set boundaries. in other words, as a full background image, from browser edge to edge,left to right. It's a shaded image so you won't see where the real header and the new to set background image overlap.

In style and configure layout i added these lines

padding: 0;
background: #DbF2F3;
background-position: center;
background-repeat: repeat-x;
background-image: url(wp-content/themes//atahualpa353/images/header/backgr.jpg);

What happens now is that the image appears in the background of the first post...

I asked for help on this topic a long time ago, but nothing worked. It keeps bothering me and that's why I post this question again.

My site; sa ks hin . nl (take out the spaces)

Thanx for any suggestion.

I followed your advice;
font-family: Helvetica, arial, sans-serif;
font-size: 0.8em;
line-height: 1.6em;
color: #666;
background: #DbF2F3;
background-image: url(/wp-content/themes/atahualpa353/images/header/backgr.jpg)repeat-x top left;

Nothing changed.
I do must say that the site is set to 100% liquid with a minimum and a maximum.
Might that be the problem of not showing the extended bg image?

change your entry at ATO->Body, Text & Links->Body Style from

Thank you so much. This is the trick i was looking for for so long. It came out exactly the way I had in mind. :)
