Sidebar from top to bottom

[kmul]

I want a orange sidebar (a rectangle) to go from de top of the page to the bottom.


At this moment it stops after the footer, see the attached examples.
How can I get it to go to the bottom of the page?

Found it out myself, by using an image in the background of the report!
