Hi tripledtrade and welcome,

The first thing you should do before posting questions on the forum is to have a good search around the forums as most questions have been answered before.

The background image is set in the file catalog\template\default\css\default.css in the following tag.

Code: Select all

body {
	margin: 0px;
	padding: 0px;
	behavior: url('catalog/javascript/png/iepngfix.htc');
	background: url('../image/background.png') top repeat-x;
}
The "Your Store" image is called background.png which has a relative reference in the css. The full path to all images in the default template is catalog\template\default\image

To set up paypal, you must go to the admin menu... Extensions->Payment click on the spanner icon next to paypal and fill out the details on the form presented.

Set Geo Zones to All Zones
Email is your paypal account email address
Click the currency (or currencies) that you want to accept payments in (Control Click will select another and unselect too)

Hope this helps you

Cheers

Bruce

At a guess, I'd say American. After all, that's what you do with a "wrench" isn't it? Give it a yank! ;D

Actually the "Your Store" image is called "logo.png". The backgound image (background.png) is the blue fade across the top of the pages.

so... you can use your own image (must be in png format) by naming it logo.png and placing it in the folder catalog\template\default\image which will replace the one that is there already.
