I am currently using 5.5 and would like to have this theme for atleast one of my sites. I use it on Google, and have contacted the person who made it originally.

I don't theme, I don't have a clue how you all do it, I think it is great that there are people who can write code like this, and know where to put it all, I feel brain dead with just a style sheet and the css page.

anyway, if you could look to this page
http://michaelthompson.org/doc/background.html

and tell me if you can modify the code to work with drupal, would be nice for all versions.
Please let me know what you come up with.

I don't see why this would be hard to implement in any phptemplate-based Drupal theme that's clean enough to let your background show through.

Edit page.tpl.php in your selected theme.

Put the Javascript in the HTML head, right before the </head> tag. Then add the onload="setBackground()" to the body tag.

The most obvious candidates for this treatment would be Marvin/Chameleon; however, they are not phptemplate-based. Their HTML is all tangled up in PHP in the .theme file and you'd find implementation difficult without a basic understanding of PHP.

I emediately saw what you meant with the php stuff. Also, with the different images to make it change the background, where do I list the image files for the script to use. Like I said I am lost with all this.
