Hi Hope

The background of your content area does not appear to be styled in your site CSS. May I suggest adding the following to the end of your templates template.css (../templates/j51_oxygen/css/template.css)..

[code type=css]#content_wrapper {
background: url("http://www.indianart.us./templates/j51_oxygen/images/content_bg.png" repeat-y 50% 0;
}[/code]

Thank you so much! It's looking much better.

But now the same background grey is showing up in my links on this page: http://www.indianart.us/index.php/about

Hi Hope

This appears to be styled by the following in your templates template.css (line15)..

[code type=css]#content_wrapper a {
background: url("../images/content_bg.png" repeat-y 50% 0;
clear: both;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}[/code]
Removing the following from this should do the trick..

[code type=css]background: url("../images/content_bg.png" repeat-y 50% 0;[/code]

Thank you, Ciarán,
That worked great.
I wonder how that code got there?
I modify CSS within the Joomla WYSIWIG editor now and add all my tweaks to the bottom of the template.css file. No worries. It's fixed now.
I appreciate the help very much.
Have a great afternoon.

Wait - oh darn. The new background CSS is spreading the grey bg color all the way up through the header, blocking the logo and background design.

Hi Hope

Sorry for the delay in this reply.. I somehow missed your post.

Try changing the CSS from...

[code type=css]#content_wrapper {
background: url("http://www.indianart.us./templates/j51_oxygen/images/content_bg.png" repeat-y 50% 0;
}[/code]
To..

[code type=css].content_wrapper {
background: url("http://www.indianart.us./templates/j51_oxygen/images/content_bg.png" repeat-y 50% 0;
}[/code]

Thanks, Ciarán,
It's strange, but when I look at the template.css file in the Joomla back end, there is no such CSS. Instead, there is only
[code type=css]#content_wrapper a[/code]
If I change it to [code type=css].content_wrapper a[/code]
It makes no difference.

That's ok.. try adding the following to the end of your templates template.css...

[code type=css].content_wrapper {
background: url("http://www.indianart.us./templates/j51_oxygen/images/content_bg.png" repeat-y 50% 0;
}
#content_wrapper {background:none !important;}[/code]

That did it. Thank you.
