    Just checking cause I can't find it: is it not possible to use an image as the background? I feel like I can only select a color, but I would like a bit of a structured look and therefor use an image...

    Hi there,

    There is no option to add an image background for the site, if you want I can provide a CSS code for that but I just need to know which image (uploaded in your site media) is the one you want to use for the background.

    Best regards,
    Laborator Team

    Hi Art, I'm gonna pick this up this week. What size and ratio (in pixels) do you recommend for a background image? Is there a way that I can change it myself after you've added the css? I'm asking because I would like to experiment a bit to see what type of image (just a simple, graphic pattern) I like most...

    Hi again,

    Try adding this CSS to Custom CSS:

    .wrapper {
    background: url(https://www.leonievanderlaan.nl/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/later-als-ik-groot-ben.jpg) no-repeat;
    background-size: cover;
}

    Regarding the recommended image size, there is no specific recommended size for the background image, but it should be larger than usual because it will be stretched to the window. So I would say an image around 1920x1080 would be fine.

    Best regards,
    Laborator Team
