Ohhh, ahhh! Pretty!
Should the background repeat or something? Perhpas if it did not scroll and the content does?
ahh yes, good idea
EDIT: okay now look at it
Perfect! Rate it up!
I like it…! Weird but effective. One thing is that Wikidot footer, which does not play the same game as the rest of the text.

Looking at that image, what's missing for me are some heads-up readouts, and guidelines that tell me I'm looking at this scene from inside my marauder class battleship control room. OK, too much sci-fi… :-)

hmm, a hud… that would be cool…
EDIT: the footer now gets to have fun too ;-)
can you change the background?
#top-bar li ul {
display:block;
margin:0;
text-align:center;
text-decoration:none;
border:none;
background:#222;
-ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(opacity=100)";
}
body {
background-color:black;
background-image:url(http://rhombusproductions.wdfiles.com/local--files/start/stellar-nebula-cone-nebula-stars-wallpaper.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat;
background-position:center top;
background-attachment: fixed;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
color:black;
}
Replace that link with another image link and it should work!
yep, thats all you have to do :D
edit: as Achiox said, you might need to change your positioning, although,as it is right now, it should work just fine
I love this theme.. but is there a way to not have the rollover effects? just mildly transparent infoboxes instead?
Yes, you can remove the <something>:hover{ code } parts
I recently joined Wikidot, adn am trying to use this theme. I wanted to change the background picture and added a different link, but it is still showing the original picture, not the new image. I am using Photobucket as my link source. Is that the issue, or perhaps something else?
1) You have put the CSS and your new link on your page admin:themes. Have you told site manager (admin:manage -> appearance -> themes) that your css is on that page? If not, go that area of site, make sure that _default is the category that is highlighted, click the external theme radio button and enter /admin:themes/code/1 then press the save button. You can see images of that process at http://community.wikidot.com/howto:flexible-css-putting-css-on-its-own-page
2) The next thing is that at the top part of the CSS on your admin:themes page take out all those @import rules. They are base css used by Wikidot anyway so it is not necessary to add them yourself and the number of them will exceed the number allowed for users on IE which means there might be problems. This was a mistake made by the creator of the theme and I have removed them from the theme,
Once you've point 1 above you should find that the image displays OK.

Have a visit to this temporary sandbox wiki:

I made a temporary photobucket account and uploaded a royalty-free image to use as a sample wallpaper - it was a bit awkward when trying to find the image URL.
You mentioned that you "added a different link". Make sure that you are replacing the previous image URL, rather than just adding another line of CSS.
Achiox, if you look at the page admin:themes on aronianway's site you'll see that the url was changed correctly, and the image works when tested with Firebug. But Firebug also shows that he/she has not told the site manager that admin:themes is the external source of the css.
