First! maybe move the .shoutbox class to the bottom of the page.

Now! Change your body style around line 11 in your style.css to this..

body{margin:0px 0; padding:0; color:#000; line-height:1.4em; font-style:normal; font-variant:normal; font-weight:normal; font-size:74%; font-family:Arial,Sans-Serif; color:#FFFFFF}

Then follow what Fynnon said in regards to what you want the body's backround colour to be.

If that isn't the correct image it might be .content but it's probably the body image.

its hard to tell without looking at the theme live but my guess is this line for the inner white area its probably the image seing as its set to repeat-y (downwards) and the width of the image 1019px

.content{background: url('../images/mainbg.png') repeat-y center; color:#000; margin:0 auto; padding:0; width:1019px}

[DND]

why not use firebug and see the exact line in the code? or css?

[WhyMe]

include/templates/where your theme is default/style/style.css
At the top of the css
I make all new 5.6 themes

PHP Code:

body
{
    background: #2E2E2E; <------------- Here to change colur
    color: #000;
    font-family: Arial,Sans-Serif;
    font-size: 74%;
    font-style: normal;
    font-variant: normal;
    font-weight: normal;
    line-height: 1.4em;
    margin: 0px 0;
    padding: 0;
} 


Or

PHP Code:

body
{
    color: #000;
    font-family: Arial,Sans-Serif;
    font-size: 74%;
    font-style: normal;
    font-variant: normal;
    font-weight: normal;
    line-height: 1.4em;
    margin: 0px 0px;
    padding: 0;
    background-color: #000;
    background-image: url(../images/what pic you want to add.jpg); png jpg gif what you want add to the images of your theme
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-attachment: fixed ;
}

I agree with you on that, threads maybe years old.
But still offer great advice and code.
Even if no one posts in them.

But then you go on to say

Which defeats what you said at the beginning of your post.
Not only do you contradict other people.
You contradict your self in the same post.
I do not think I have ever seen anyone do that before.
