Changing background from wooden floor (CSS question)

Hello,
Does anyone have boilerplate CSS which I can use to replace the woodenfloor background with something hosted off site?
Something that also changes the background when playing games.

Thank you

Not a good idea, game developpers are constructing the UI with a fixed background in mind, weither it's the wooden floor or another one (many new games are using their own background). Modifying the background might make the game really hard to play if the colors/theme is not matching the game.

Does this mean the CSS feature does not extent to the game playing surface? Or are you just advising extreme caution when changing it?
I really hate the wooden floor surface and will be willing to take try a few a few things out to make it go away

Just be cautious and don't be surprised if some games looks bad with your background :)

I am very happy to take the risk and experiment.

If anyone has the necessary CCS to make the wooden floor go away/be replaced, please share it with me.

Thank you. I see lots of games have custom backgrounds which are not just wood, so that line of code works fine for most of the games. Thanks
