Here is another piece of code for all you background nuts. You can change the background of those little tables in your courtyard, library and study too (the ones that say "Social summary", "Academic Items" and the one with the cashbox). Here's how.

To change the background color and link color only:

<style type= "text/css">
.gram { background-color: #ffffff; }
.gram a:link { color: #ffffff; }
</style>

To add a background image and change the link color:

<style type= "text/css">
.gram { background-image: url("yourimage.gif"); background-color: #ffffff; }
.gram a:link { color: #ffffff; }
</style>

Put the color of your choice where it says #ffffff and your background's URL where it says "yourimage.gif." I'm testing it in my courtyard if you want to see what I'm talking about. :-)
