    I just tried this, but it doesn’t seem to be working.

    Is there any chance I’m doing something wrong? Here’s the code I entered.

    body.custom#leaf-12{background: #D0C8C8;}

    Sorry. . . it was a quick fix. Just a space needed between custom and #.

    Hi

    Is it possible to do this with an image i.e. how would you put an image as the background on a leaf rather than a colour change?

    Thanks for all the tips on this site – it rocks!

    Best

      Putting a background image on a leaf would require CSS.

      Barney – Sorry for the late reply. You might want to post this question in the forum – they’ll have an answer, which I assume will involve CSS.
