I have see a problem with changing background images only if the two image files use the same name. In this case, because the same file name is used, SS does not refresh its content. However, if you restart SS, the new image file is correctly loaded.

If you are having a different problem than this, is the problem repeatable and can you document the steps you are using? I'm sure VM would like to fix any bug you find.

I open a SS file,open page editor, background tab, add the new image with unique name, or use the color picker. The new image or color shows in the SS editor, but background remains whie during preview or if I upload to my host.

What version of SS are you using? And can you post a link to your published page?

Try adding a page background color (and image) to a new project? Does that work?

If so, there may be some other code that is interfering with the color. Do you have any code that is common across all your affected projects?

Yes, Bruceee the new projects always work with a image or color picker.

It looks like the code you are using for your menus (obj289/code33) contains some CSS style code which is over-riding your SS color and background image selections. Try removing the following 4 sections of code from the object and see if it makes a difference:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
                <meta name="author" content="Ian Main" />
                <meta name="Copyright" content="Creative Commons - http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/" />

and

body {
        font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
        margin: 0;
        font-size: 80%;
        font-weight: bold;
        background: #FFFFFF;
       }

and

<body>

and

</body>
