Well, I figured now, that there is really no need to tell the controller to use the layout, it makes it by default, BUT...I'm still unable to set up the wallpaper. I moved the picture to the directory public/pic/ and add the address pic/darkKnight_wide.jpg to the layout file. But it only affected the index view file, in others there is still the same link for the background, but the background isn't shown.
Well, I figured this one out now also...apparently there is huge difference between those two strings: /pic/picture.jpg pic/picture.jpg Which I guess means there are no relatives paths in rails, right?
