Hello,
is possible add background image?
I use Elkarte default theme with simple portal
Thanks.

Hello pixer and welcome! :D

Ye, it's possible to change any background and use images if you want, but exactly which background do you want to change?
If you are referring to the most external one, you have to change it on body:

body {
background-image: url(.....);
}

I would change the home background image.

Emanuele, you have "Er Core SMF" come dicono i romani. as the Roman people say
where smf there is Emanule them  :P

Elkarte is a very good project :)

hmm...
I'm a bit lost. lol
You mean maybe the logo at the top then?

LOL
Benvenuto allora! :P

Thanks! :D

Like this with trasparent foreground.

Or this with no trasparent.

Thanks.

Oh okay, then I got it the first time. ;D

You can apply the background to body as I showed you above, then if you want a transparent background...
You have to set it for #wrapper to begin with.
Then I'm not sure which one of the following:

.forum_category,
.forumposts,
.content_category

And some of the following as well:

.board_row,
.childboard_row,
.forumposts > div,
.forumposts > li,
.content_category > div,
.content_category > li

And you may (or may not, depends) add some transparency here as well:

#top_section

But I'm not really good with CSS...

Thanks for answer but i dont code expert  :-[
can you explain me?

Thanks.

I'm not a css expert either.

I think something like that may give you some hints:

body {
background-image: url(.....);
}

.forum_category,
.forumposts,
.content_category {
opacity: 0.6;
}

.board_row,
.childboard_row,
.forumposts > div,
.forumposts > li,
.content_category > div,
.content_category > li {
opacity: 0.6
}

Welcome @pixer

@Emanuele you are not expert but you are my master  :)
the my final code is this i hope to help someone else:
i open portal.css in theme/default/css because i use simple portal

body {
background-image: url(http://www.mysite.com/folder/image/bg.jpg);
}
#top_section,          /* for header section*/
.wrapper,               /* and this for real opacity if i dont add this the color is only clear and not trasparent */
.childboard_row,
.category_boards,
.forumposts > div,
.forumposts > li,
.content_category > div,
.content_category > li {
opacity: 0.9;
}

but i have another little question:
if i use 0.9 for opacity is ok but not perfect, if i use 0.9.5 the opacity gone, if i use 1.0 gone again,
what value should i use?

Thanks @meetdilip  :)

Probably you added a dot more than necessary? 0.95 instead of 0.9.5?

This morning my first thought just wake up has been to parameter 0.95, and then on the forum I read your answer. :)

Now is perfect! 8)

Thanks.

:D
