Hi

I am using gallery2 in my e107 and to get it to match with my theme i am using a slightly modified classic theme with the embedded colour pack for transparency and a wrapper page for the e107 header and footer. all over the site the background picture correctely shown and when the picture runs out the background colour is shown (blue).

Except in the admin plugin page. the background picture (which is set in e107 css) is shown correctely but when the picture runs out the background colour that is shown is white (or possibly none). this is the only page which this happens, i have installed the full 2.2.3 version so the plugin list is long, but this should not make any difference.

thanks for your help

I don't know anything about e107 but this is how I would do it:
I have found 2 tools that are invaluable the firefox browser and the web development tool that allows you to Make live edits to the CSS of a web page..
Once you have them both installed....
select edit css and under the 'information' dropdown check display ID & class details.
Edit your CSS and you will see the results. Once you have this the way you want, upload your edited css to the server.

Thanks for the info, i used firefox and the webdeveloper plugin a lot when designing my website.

editing css is definately what i need to do but i cannot seem to find where this particular page is getting its background data from, it should be blue like the rest of the site. i think there is a particular CSS instruction for the plugin admin page of G2 that is stopping the background colour either being inherited or transparent, or possible is actually set as white which is overiding. in the webdeveloper is there an easy way to see the details of the background, with the instructions above i can look at css for different objects.

Thanks for the login info.
The image you use for the background is not tall enough:
http://www.lancastrian-it.co.uk/e107_themes/Lancastrian/images/background.jpg
2 ways or more ways to try to fix.make the image taller with a image editor, blending the bottom color.
or
fix the issues with the http://www.lancastrian-it.co.uk//e107_themes/Lancastrian/style.css
you have a few issues the theme style.css has:

.page_bg {
background:transparent url(images/.jpg) repeat-y scroll center top;
border:20px none;
margin:5px;
padding:5px 0px;
}

there is not image for the background so fix that and add the bold:

.page_bg {
	background: url(images/.jpg);
    background-repeat: repeat-y;        
    background-position: top center;
	padding: 5px 0px 5px 0px;
	margin: 5px;
	border: 20px;
background-color: #264766;
}
