How can i change background according to category in magento

I have 2 categories in my magento website ie "Books" and "Electronics". I want to change the background of the website according to category.It means when i select "Electronics" category, it will show different background than in category "Books".

Can anyone please tell how can i do this?

Solution

  • Manage categories -> Custom Layout -> Custom Layout Update:

    <reference name="head">
    <action method="addCss">
        <stylesheet>css/custom_category_1.css</stylesheet>
        <params>media="all"</params>
    </action>
</reference>

    Define the custom background in the css. Override the default styling by adding !important
