Can I make the background during lightbox, the same as my site background?

My site background is an image stored on my site. Can lightbox mode have the same background?
Thanks.

EDIT: I installed the background code via the SM theme settings which has the option to link to an image.

    I dug into DG to find help and got code from this thread:
    http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=241192&highlight=lightbox+background
    .sm-lightbox { background: url('background-imge-here'); }
    So the code I added is this, but it's not working:
    /* Make lightbox background same as site background image */
    .sm-lightbox {
    {
    background: url('http://www.joinrats.com/photos/i-8KJzPpX/0/S/i-8KJzPpX-S.png');
    }

    I was so proud of myself for figuring out the code, too. eek7.gif

    You've just got one too many '{' characters, otherwise the code is fine!
    /* Make lightbox background same as site background image */
.sm-lightbox {
  background: url('http://www.joinrats.com/photos/i-8KJzPpX/0/S/i-8KJzPpX-S.png');
}

    Shoot - shoot myself for the bad code and shoot, it didn't work.

    By the way, in Smugmug style, lightbox is not possible? I went to a random gallery that is set to that style and the video played in place (thumbs still to the left).

    Had to go to a journal style to have lightbox kick in.

    Videos do not click to lightbox (very poor design) so your visitors will have to watch the crappy low rez.
    But you can by adding /A to the browser link.

    What if I want to make the lightbox a solid color. I've tried this code but it's not working.

    /* Make lightbox background same as site background image */
    .sm-lightbox {
    background: F7F7F7;
    }

    Just a guess here. Should you have #F7F7F7?
    Add #?

    I'm using that for a black background in lightbox: 
    .sm-lightbox-basic {
  background-color: #000;
}
