Border around forum plugin

[Doc Ock]

Hello I need help with this please.

I don't understand this plug in. No matter what size I make the background image it comes out blurry. What size image are you supposed to use?

Its for the skin called generations.

That's an impossible question to answer.

If you are talking about the wood effect background, that is being repeated, so whatever the image size, you will see it full size on your PC.

But, for any background image, unless you explicitely tell it to stretch to fit, you should see it pixel perfect.

Hi todge!

I would but it has no setting for that. It just says add image url.

I was using this plug in but its not very detailed. I'm trying to find one i can use to put separate background behind the boards since i'm not very skilled at html.

You could just not use the plugin and paste the following on to a new line at the very bottom of your stylesheet.

Admin Home > Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS > Style Sheet

/* Forum wrapper background. */
#wrapper {
   background: url("https://i.imgur.com/D0sVqxv.gif");
   width: @wrapper_width;
   overflow-x: hidden;
}

Oh that works great! Thanks to both of you!

[Doc Ock]

Oh just a quick question! Is there a way to make the background wider than the forum? Like, put a frame around it?

Thanks again!

You can set your own width where the @wrapper_width is right now.

I tried it just made the whole forum that size Oo. Do I just add the size like 1000px?

I will look in to things when I have the pc on again. Unless Todge wants to take a peek at things.

If you add the following to the CSS I gave you earlier and set the 10px to what you want, then you can make the border wider than the forum.

padding: 0px 10px 0px 10px;
