You can change most templates, the css etc.. Have you checked your colour scheme in Design | colours. Then I would check the act_primary to see if hard coded. Also check css to see if body colour is set.
Hope you can follow that..

I would just go into ACT_PRIMARY and remove NETQUOTEVAR:BGCOLOR, also check that your table in ACT_PRIMARY hasn't got a background colour set aswell

Background Image

Jenny and Jo,

Design/Colours shows Background greyed out with message "A Background Image is being used". Frame background is also greyed out though I don't use frames (Theme used is 'Blue Sky')

In Act_Primary there doesn't appear to be any hard coding, just the usual complement of NETQUOTEVARs:

<BODY NETQUOTEVAR:BGIMAGE NETQUOTEVAR:BGCOLOR TEXT="NETQUOTEVAR:FGCOLOR" NETQUOTEVAR:LINKCOLOR NETQUOTEVAR:VLINKCOLOR NETQUOTEVAR:ALINKCOLOR marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" OnLoad="NETQUOTEVAR:ONLOAD">

should I just take out NETQUOTEVAR:BGCOLOR - seem to recall wrapping it as a comment is advisable <! ... -> is this correct?

is the TEXT="NETQUOTEVAR:FGCOLOR" ok?

The Table has no BGCOLOR set, though there are some background gifs for individual rows/cells.

I've used the default ACT_Primary - no tinkering, honest!

Your help greatly appreciated.

this is your code......do as I suggested before, simply delete NETQUOTEVAR:BGCOLOR, leave all the rest as it is

**Jenny** · 30-Mar-2004, 09:00 PM

Jo, your answer got there as I was writing mine.

Deleted NETQUOTEVAR:BGCOLOR from <body> tag of the ACT_Primary template and problem remains - background image appears briefly then whited out.

Incredibly, the website still shows NETQUOTEVAR:BGCOLOR in the <body> tag of the home page and other pages. This after I did a site update and then a complete site refresh!!

Jenny mentioned to check CSS to see if body color set - pse advise where to look...

Look in the actinic.css file. It'll be in your site1 folder (and on your website).

Sorry, correction: <body> tag on website no longer contains NETQUOTEVAR:BGCOLOR , but the disappearing background image problem still remains.

(confusion caused cos Catalog froze after "Merge Completed" when updating/refreshing, which meant it hadn't actually done it - changed a network setting to Ignore Passive Errors and site uploaded cleanly.)

**pinbrook** · 30-Mar-2004, 09:51 PM

can we see the site....whats the url

**pault** · 30-Mar-2004, 10:00 PM

Mike, relevant bit of actinic.css as follows:

/*body specific*/
body{
background-color:NETQUOTEVAR:BGCOLORCSS;
background-image:url(NETQUOTEVAR:BGIMAGECSS);
margin-top:0px;
margin-right:0px;
margin-bottom:0px;
margin-left:0px;
}

there is no other mention of BGCOLOR. Is this ok? perhaps background-image:url should be BGIMAGE not BGIMAGECSS ? (though I haven't changed anything).

Jo, URL is http://www.galleryofillustration.co.uk (also http://www.greatartistry.co.uk ) Site under construction hence unoriginal backwoods look!

**pinbrook** · 30-Mar-2004, 10:05 PM

remove this from the CSS file

background-color:NETQUOTEVAR:BGCOLORCSS;

remove , don't just comment out

**pault** · 30-Mar-2004, 10:27 PM

have removed from actinic.css:

background-color:NETQUOTEVAR:BGCOLORCSS;

and done complete site refresh, sadly to no avail, most frustrating!

will try with completely different Theme tomorrow and let you know outcome.

thank you all and goodnight vienna!

**Jenny** · 31-Mar-2004, 08:05 AM

If you want me to check it over I will. Which theme were you using? Zip up a snapshot for me and I will give it a look.
