but how do i get it to work?

Lol don't edit the xml file. Do it from AdminCP and your good to go. I assume you know a little CSS

You use a FTP program like filezilla to upload the image to your themes image directory.

You can either name the image the same as your themes logo so that on upload it overwrites the current logo..., or you can go into your control panel and:

ACP>Themes>Modify / Delete

Ok then you should see a screen that has your theme name:

ie: CGC Ay Yýldýz V3

select your theme and then select -Edit Theme Style and press the go button.

Scroll down to a section called: Theme Options

Now look for:

Forum Logo
The URL of the image to display as the forum logo in this theme.

You can replace the info with the info to your new logo.

As far as the background..., that should be found either in:

Body (Customized in this style)Extra CSS Attributes

in a code something like:

 
text-align: center; /* IE 5 fix */
margin: 5px 10px 10px 10px;
padding: 0px;
line-height: 1.4;
background-image: url(images/themename/page_bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat;

Or it may be found at the bottom of the page in a section called:

Additional CSS
Below you may enter additional CSS to be included with this theme.

and the background would most likely be in the body tag

for example something like:

body {
background: #FFFFFF;
background-image: url(images/themename/page_bg.gif); 
background-repeat: repeat; 
color : #000000;
margin : 4px;
}
