Here is a link to the website forum:http://www.yazimc.com/forum/

As you can see on the forum there is this bar behind the main buttons. I'm trying to get this bar behind the buttons at home but I don't know how to.

I tried setting it as a background for the block but it doesn't work. The block I'm using for the main buttons at home is a content block.

Can anyone help me out?

If the area you ar placing your nav in is a global area or your adding it from a stack than using the design option to add a background will not usually work. You will need to either set the area so it is no longer global, or by moving the nav up or down to the next area of your theme. If you are moving it than with any luck there should be no difference in look as in most themes a div not used is a div not rendered.

If after you move it the background doesn't show, than remove the background from the block,than publish. Go back and than add it again.

If the background doesn't look exactly the same as the one in forum it will be because the size of your image needs to be the same as the area your applying it to. Look at it and see if it needs to have less width, height or more width, height and than make the changes needed in an image editor.
