What do you mean open in a new window? You mean the sortcut link? An admin can do that, I believe.
For the background coding, this is the CSS used:
CODE
body{
margin:0;
padding:30px 0;
font:76% tahoma,verdana,sans-serif;
background:#047 url(img/bodybg.png) repeat-x fixed;
color:#222;
}
So youd do:
CODE
body{
background:#047 url(img/bodybg.png) repeat-x fixed;
}
#047 - Thats the background color where the background image isnt being shown, put whatever color the bottom of your image is there.
url(img/bodybg.png) - Thats the background image's URL
repeat-x - Makes it repeat horizontally
fixed - Keeps it from moving when you scroll the page.
