I want to use a background image for the main background. The code I put in the css was
Code: Select all
background: url(mainbg.gif) repeat;
For some reason it doesn't display the background. The mainbg.gif file is in the /templates/new_theme/ folder.

Please try it with
Code: Select all
background: url("templates/new_theme/mainbg.gif") #e1e1e1 repeat-y center top;

Instead, you might want to use:
Serendipity will recognize what directory the current template is in and automatically plug it in for the variable "{TEMPLATE_PATH}".
That way, if you end up wanting to rename your directory from "new_theme" to "old_theme", you won't have to go back and re-edit your CSS file.

It appears that the color was taking precidence over the image for some reason. The code I used was
Code: Select all
background: url("{TEMPLATE_PATH}/mainbg.gif") transparent repeat center top;
