Yes it is possible!

Please take a look at this theme! Pardon the WebSites dust but the current site in under reconstruction. The theme is available. Take a look at the code and it will answer your question!

To add your background (1024 x 768 or 800x 600) on most themes under function themeheader, you'll find the body tag, change the body to something like this

Code:

echo "<body background=\"themes/YOURTHEME/images/YOURIMAGE.gif\" bgproperties=\"fixed\" topmargin=\"0\" leftmargin=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\">";

then in your style.css in the style folder add the lines

Code:

BACKGROUND-ATTACHMENT: fixed;  
BACKGROUND-REPEAT: no-repeat;

into body style, this make your image non repeatable.

as for the blocks with opacity simply add a class into your css, example

Code:

TD.blocks {
FILTER: alpha(opacity="80"); 
BACKGROUND-COLOR: #dddddd
}

then go to your blocks.html or if its in theme.php give the blocks that class, which in this case i named it blocks. hope this helps.

thx for this help i have used what you say but for the block opacity i have a problem it dont work ..
i have this in my css

TD.blocks { 
FILTER: alpha(opacity="47"); 
BACKGROUND-COLOR: #083E68 
}

and i have this in my blocks.html

Code:

<link href="/themes/SeeThruExXxPress/style/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> <table width="152" border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="2" style="border-left-width: 0; border-right-width: 0; border-bottom-width: 0; border-collapse:collapse">
  <tr>
    <td width="140">
      <table width="100%" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#FF99FF" style="border-left-width: 0; border-right-width: 0; border-bottom-width: 0; border-collapse:collapse">
        <tr>
          <td width="100%" height="21" align="left" bordercolor="#0099CC" background="themes/SeeThruExXxPress/images/contentmenu.gif"> 
             
            <center>
              <font color="FFFFFF">$title</font> 
            </center>
             </td>
        </tr>
      </table></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="blocks">
        <tr>
          <td class="blocks">$content </td>
        </tr>
      </table></td>
  </tr>
</table>

but it seems dont works i cant see just the image in the back of the theme but not a color background with an alpha for the background of my blocks

any idea or something i make wrong ?

ok, welll first you dont need to use

Code:

<link href="/themes/SeeThruExXxPress/style/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">

since it will use style.css already so no need to put that in the blocks.html
then try this, instead of

Code:

 <td><table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="blocks"> 
        <tr> 
          <td class="blocks">$content </td> 
        </tr> 
      </table></td>

try

Code:

 <td class=blocks><table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> 
        <tr> 
          <td>$content </td> 
        </tr> 
      </table></td>
