Background of Email Templates

[mNolan]

Hi
My site background is a dark coloured gif with bright spots on it and is assigned to body_bg.gif of a mainstreet coloured theme. It now appears on all emails to me and the customer and is quite sore to the eye!

I've tried to play with css but even if I set background:none to the contact css template, the email still had the site background.

Does anyone have an idea as to how to override the body style in style_main_css.php which uses:

background: url(<?php print sc_img('body_bg','dyn') ?>) repeat; ?

thanks.

Find the stylesheet inside the <head/> tag in your order_email_customer_html.tpl.php and order_email_merchant_html.tpl.php template files in your squirrelcart/themes/squirrelcart folder, and make them like this:

    <!--  workaround for Outlook 2007 :( -->
    <style type="text/css">
    body {
        background-image: url(<?php print SC_STORE_DIR ?>/squirrelcart/images/blank.gif);
        background-color: #fff;
    }
    
    h1 {
        font-size: 20px;
        font-weight: normal;
    }    
    
    ol {
        list-style-type: decimal;
        padding-left: 25px;
    }
    </style>

This change is in the upcoming next mid level release (v3.4.0).

As always, thank you. I did try that but used background: none, which didn't work.
