brackets programmer not showing live preview change

so i'm coding on index html and live preview shows everything working like the text that i have changed, but when i want to see the css side of things i can't see no update right now it keeps showing me this even in live preview http://imgur.com/a/cQjSk it is supposed to look like this http://imgur.com/a/AlaXr

It would help to see your HTML & CSS source. If you don't want to share that. I would set the background of the page red, just to make sure the CSS stylesheet is even linked to your HTML (Most common issue I run in to). Second if you're using classes or id, I would double check in the CSS that you are calling them properly e.g. "#idname" or ".classname"

this is what my css looks like, http://imgur.com/a/SZdnM fixed it now it was a problem with my file name, it was styles.css instead of style.css. now im trying to add a background image but nothing happens http://imgur.com/a/d9nmR

I'd take a look at this. Link. Basically you forgot the quotations, but I strongly suggest you create a folder for your images within your project folder so the url would be "foldername/imagename.extension" because the image will only be visible to you when you upload it to a web server.

This is your original code (as shared on skype): http://jsfiddle.net/0omzedh2/
And here is the code(fixed): http://jsfiddle.net/0omzedh2/1/
What was the Problem?: In your css, on line 11 you didn't close it with a semicolon+the url was of the image was invalid.
