Hi! I'm a newbie here and is currently trying to make my library ( http://www.nebula-rose.net/fiction/) match my main site ( http://www.nebula-rose.net). The problem is, as you can see, that it refuses to show the background of the table as well as the top and bottom images. I based the skin on the CSSZen skin (I think).
Any help would be most appreciated.
Your style sheet is wrong. The image paths are relative to the sheet.
background: url(backbg.png) repeat-x top fixed;
This tells the sheet to look for the backbg.png file in the same folder as style.css. From what I can tell, that's not the location of backbg.png.
You also have a second background declaration after that that may be interfering.

backbg.png is the one's that showing up (orange/purple one) and it is in the same folder as style.css. I've also deleted the second background declaration. It's the top.png, tablebg.png and bottom.png that wont show up. (All files in the style.css are in the same folder as style.css.)
This is the "random" skin? It's not showing up on my screen. I see the CSSZen when I look at that. No background images, no changes to the appearance from CSSZen at all. If you're asking for help with another skin, tell us the name of the skin. And if that's the case for future reference please go read the "Please Read Before Posting" thread at the top of this forum. In it you're told to specify the name of the skin you're having trouble with. Otherwise we just have to guess.
It's the random (which I named that because I didn't want to name it default or untitled) skin, it's based on CSSZen. When I look at it, it looks like my main site, only the background of the table, the top image and the bottom image isn't visible (strangely enough, the backgrounds of the links in the menu work fine). It looks like this:
But according to the code I have, it should look like my main page.
I just wanted to comment on your skin on your main site, the main image is nice, but the gradient background hurts my eyes, as does the orange butterflies. Maybe you should tone the background down a bit. But that may just be me and my laptop screen colors.
Did you delete the other skins, or just hide them. I suspect you hid them. You still have CSSZen listed as your default, so when I click on the link, I get taken to a page using that skin. If you go here you'll see your changes:

Change both the site default and the default skin in your user account to random and that should fix your problem.

Did as you told me to as well as deleting the other skins, still doesn't work. Thanks anyway.

I might darken it a little later, but it looks fine to me.
I just figured out the problem (Hallelujah!) I first thought that I needed to have the images in the "random" folder in the skins folder where the style.css was (i.e fiction/skins/random/), turned out that I needed to have them in the /fiction address. Thanks everyone for the help and advice. *Does happy dancing*
