It's inadvisable to modify this file. This is the main layout script behind the web interface and I may update it from time to time. Mods may create difficulty in merging your changes in.
Instead, please create this file if it doesn't exist:
webv4/root/css/custom.css
and add a rule like this to it:
body {
background-color: black;
}
where 'black' can be whatever, including a hex colour code.
In custom.css, this (untested) should work:
body {
background-image: url("/pics/picture.jpg");
}
My comments here are the recommended/intended way of making these sorts of customizations, but your method will work, and thanks for sharing.

You should be able to open it in any text editor.. It doesn't have to
be Wordpad. In fact, I'd shy away from using Wordpad, since I think Wordpad uses its own file format by default, though it can edit plain
text files.

In Windows, I just use Notepad for text files. :) Wordpad's native format is an older version of MS-Word format.

WordPad's native file type is RTF: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rich_Text_Format
I thought RTF was an open standard, but I guess not. <hrm>

One winbloz systems I prefer dev-php, it has decent syntax highlighting and code completion, despite stating it's a php IDE it also highlights
js, xjs, python, html, css, etc

Just replace your index file with original unaltered version.
Did you save index.xjs as a plain text file with ext .xjs?

I was kidding. Nothing crashed. It's working great with the "custom.css"
