Cut the narrowest strip the still looks smoothly if you repeat horizontally

Remove the Background from the body tag.

<body id="Body" onscroll="__dnn_bodyscroll()" bottommargin="0" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" rightmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" background="/DNN/Portals/0/BG_R2.jpg">

Set this in the skin.css:

body
    {
        background-image: url(ImagePath/BG_R2.jpeg);
        background-repeat: repeat-x;
     }

Then it should work

Re: Skin.CSS File For Review. Size/Resolution Problem

Ok I cut a small strip out of the main pic. I also copied the body } background etc..... info to my skin.css file. It worked. I couldn't find where the <body id= etc.... information was located, so this has not been done. It seems to be working with just editing the skin.css file. Do I still need to try to find the 1st item you mentioned? You can look at the site and see what ya think.

Thanks for all your help!

Removing the background-image from the body tag is not very important, since it's being overwritten by the style in skin.css.
But you can remove it by logging in as admin, Choose Site Settings > Body Background : <None Specified>

Unless it was added it in some other way (inside the default.aspx file).

About the background-image:
You cut a horizontal strip , a vertical strip with the full height of your "big background image" would leave the background you had exactly as it was before... and is a lot smaller (in kB)
