Background Image Question

Where can I go to put the coding in to set the background to not scroll. In html it is usually set as background-attachment: fixed but not exactly sure where I need to go to do that.

You'll need to do a little bit of css file editing to achieve this effect. Open the file ...\templates\default\style.css.
Look for the line: body { font:12px arial,helvetica,sans-serif;background:#000000; color:#ffffff; }

This is line 16, depending on what program you are using to edit the file.

Now change the line to read: body { font:12px arial,helvetica,sans-serif;background:#000000;background-attachment: fixed;
color:#ffffff; }

Voila, the background will now stay in-place!

This actually looks kinda cool, but can cause a massive slowdown on older computers, otherwise this would be the default
