Trouble With Background Image with Greek Yogurt

Permalink
So this is what I did.

1. Copy the theme folder to my downloads folder and renamed it to, "greek_yogurt_edited".
2. I edited "typography.css" and edited this:
body {
   height: auto; 
   /* customize_body-background */ background-color: #dff5ff; /* customize_body-background */
   background-image: url('/images/stripes.png');
   background-repeat: repeat;
}

3. I uploaded the folder to the themes folder that is not in the concrete folder.

4. I uploaded "stripes.png" to the images folder in "greek_yogurt_edited".
5. I installed and applied the theme.

However it isn't showing the background image. I don't know what I did wrong.

First the url should be relative your css-file if you have '/images/...' you will try to get your file from an "images" folder in your web server's root. I.e. if your images folder is placed in the same directory as your css file it should be "images/.." instead.
Then sometimes you need to clear your cache also, to get your updates going through. For CSS changes it usually is sufficient to reload the page but I've had occasions where that was not enough.
