I am new to Drupal and I really wonder why you have two background graphic files, with the first being loaded at the beginning of page loading (the graphic with wood and the blue strip) and the second overlapping the first giving the final outcome.

The reason I have 2 background graphics are:

  • The first graphic is used as the main background with some swirls effects.
  • Second graphic is used to repeat the background horizontally so that users with larger screens are able to see the layout perfectly.

Hope that answers your question.

Forgive me for insisting on this, but I think bg-top.gif is 1240x786 and has same width with bg-btm.gif and these cover well the wide screens of 1280. Well maybe I am wrong. I am not a specialist anyway (I just started Drupal and theming seems exotic to me).
Thank you for concern.

When we do websites/layouts, we dont just focus on one single screen resolution. We need to take into account of other users.
Some may have smaller screens, some larger.
So this layout was made to suit users with screens 1024 and above.

If i remove the repeating bg, then users with 1920 screens (just example), will see an ugly layout in the center only.

Do you get what I'm trying to say?
