Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

How do I make a background image be like a watermark?

i.e. be static and have the columns scroll over it

Take your background image and add 90% white. Gives you a 10% watermark of background image. Set background position to fixed and it wont move.

Thanks Jam. It is the setting of the background image to "fixed" that I don't know how to do.

Thanks Larry, those pages are very informative. Unfortunately, with my limited knowledge, I am still unable to get it to work in Atahualpa.

What I am trying to do is change the instruction for a background image in the options of Atahualpa where it says to use

background: url(/testing/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/backgr.gif) repeat top left;

I suspect that if I change the "repeat top left;" to something else I will succeed, but I haven't hit on the correct combination yet.

The repeat top left are for positioning. You could also use other combos. For instance if you wanted the image 50px in from the left and 100px down from the top and wanted it to not repeat all over the screen and stay fixed you would use.
HTML Code:
background: url(/testing/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/backgr.gif) no-repeat 50px 100px fixed;
If you go to the Tryit sections of the W3 Schools site you try the code out and see what it does.

Thanks Larry. As it turns out I was complicating it further than necessary. With your, and Jam's, help I have now figured it out. Thanks.

I simply used "no-repeat fixed" to achieve the goal I wanted.
