I am trying to use a background for the page menu bar.

I need the background to go right across the page not just the navigation.

My site address is www.vayrehouse.com

many thanks

Add via HTML/CSS Inserts -> CSS Inserts

div.rMenu-center {
background: #123456;
}

You can also add a border

div.rMenu-center {
background: #123456;
border: solid 1px #654321;
}

Hey Flynn,

I'm also trying to get the same 'url'.jpg to appear for both my main body background as well as the menu bar,footer sidebar etc.

This code didn't work. Any other ideas? I've read everything in the forum and haven't been able to find an answer

Hello Flynn,

I am having this exact problem with Atahualpa 3.5.3, using WordPress 3.0.3. The code given in post #2 doesn't work. Any suggestions would help.

even in the gold forum 'menubar colored cheat sheet' produces no results.

Wimbledon gave the proper code in the thread "How to change color of the menu bar?"
div#menu1 {
background: url(/your_path/image.jpg);
}
or
div#menu1 {
background: #ff99ff;
}
