sure thing mate i will help u, either add me on x-fire or drop by the site and ask. 

BTW to everyone, maybe if we swap x-fires around we could maybe start some close clan bonds/scrims.  Plus i think i done most of what can be done plus more with the site, but if any of you guys got ideas please pass em round.

Hi there, the code at the top will work, if you substitute the URL for one with an image with the colour that you want. i think that FTP is down.

I'll look at getting the colours done and hosted on the XippY servers so that this is easier for people to use. We are looking to be able to do this in the control panel.

O.k.

To change the background colour you can add the following in a custom panel:-

Code:

<style type="text/css">
body {
  background-color:red;
}
</style>

Or with a background image with this code:

<style type="text/css">
body
{
background-image:url('http://deliciousghost.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/smiley.jpg');
}
</style>

Let me know ho wyou get on withthis.

Also if you add this (you may have to mess with the position)

Code:

background-position: top-left;
background-attachment:fixed

it will make your background image static so that when you scroll it only scrolls everything on top of the image.   Like this:
http://www.d2rclan.com/index.php?page=0

So the code above with the added code would be:

Code:

<style type="text/css">
body
{
background-image:url('http://deliciousghost.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/smiley.jpg');
background-position: top-left;
background-attachment:fixed;
}
</style>
