How do I do this? Sorry for my lack of knowledge
Thanks

Hi,
I've only just recently started using OpenCart and so far it looks really good for an opensource solution.
To give you a little background, I own and run a Print Management company, which has a sister company which is fixed price printed goods - for this I use Volusion as at the time it seemed the best option, especially with the promise of the best customer service in the world! In a nutshell not too happy with them.
So now, I have the ability to offer over 21,000 office stationery products on a next day delivery - which really compliments my print group. Thats where Opencart came in, and now I am just trying to customise the design.
I have a header on my Volusion website that I have copied, and manipulated in Illustrator. I have the Firefox add on that allows me to edit CSS from viewing a webpage - this is just a visual, and wont change any HTML, CSS etc permanently.
But I just followed the instructions above, opened my Stylesheet.css in Dreamweaver edited it to the same as i input in the firefox editor, saved it, deleted original from FTP, uploaded new one, refreshed web page, but nothing?
Am I doing some thing wrong?
The CSS segment I have changed is below;
body {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
text-align:center;
background: url('http://www.limegreenofficeproducts.com/ ... header.jpg') repeat-x;
background-color:#f8f8f8;
}
I appreciate anyones help.
Regards

First, are you using another Template other than the DEFAULT template?
Second, dont just delete the original file, create another copy of it then rename it like stylesheet-original.css.
So you have a backup of the original file.
Third, upload your image on catalog\view\theme\DEFAULT\image so that you're not exposing your directories.
So that if you want to call the image file, just put
instead of the complete URL that you did.

background: url('../image/bg.jpg');Thanks Dramony,
I am indeed using the default theme.
The funny thing is, that because I was not seeing the header, or colour i specified I deleted the stylesheet.css from the ftp, refreshed it to take effect, and then refreshed my web browser but nothing changed?
Should it have looked all crazy without the sylesheet?
Do I just upload to the 'catalog\view\theme\DEFAULT\image' folder by using the FTP, as I couldn't see a way to do it using the dashboard without allocating it to either the logo, or thumbnail etc.. There was no way to upload general images if that makes sense.
Appreciate the advice on the folder thingy, I'll try that now.
But considering what I have told you, and shown you - shouldn't the webpage have looked correct, or is it purely down to the location of the image? And would that effect the background colour too?
Seems odd no?

Just realised what I did Dramony.
I'm a muppet!
I altered the stylesheet.css in the admin/view/stylesheet/ folder - is that bad, and will it mess anything else up?
Also, just followed your instructions carefully this time and it worked a treat - thanks buddy.
You think I'll get any problems with the above though?
Limegreen.

sh*te!
Just logged into the admin console and - yep, it's all over the place.
I know this is a big ask buddy - but anychance you might be able to send me over the original stylesheet.css for the admin panel please?
I'm on a mac (not sure if that matters), or if you cant send it, could you steer me in the right direction please.
Appreciate all your help.

Can anyone help me on this? I did the above things in this post above and it only applied the background to the top part of the webpage header. I want this to be in the entire background of my entire website:
See here: http://www.funeralhomeflowers.org
If I already did the above edit to the body and it only did that part, what else would I need to change to make it work on the entire page the background?

I have another issue... I am using village black theme and as you know on widescreens the background is clearly visible on the two sides of website.
What i want to do is put for example photos of two people touching the website (I know it sounds weird
) on each side.
Like this side for example: http://www.izkushenia.eu/
Any help?
