Background Introduction

A visually appealing website will surely attract more visitors. With this in mind, don’t leave it all in white and black! Start by uploading a beautiful image and design your own custom background with the Newspaper theme.

VERY IMPORTANT: When you set a color or an image as a site background, your website will automatically change to the boxed version so the stretch row options will no longer apply. Full width elements will not be possible when using a site background.

Background Introduction: Use an Image

Newspaper comes with a general image option which can be set from the Theme Panel > Background. This panel contains the following sections:

Theme background – The theme will automatically transform your website into a boxed version.

  • Repeat – This refers to the way the background image will be displayed. By default, this option is set to No Repeat. If you use a pattern and you want it to be displayed repeatedly check the other options: Tile, Tile Horizontally, Tile Vertically.
  • Position – By default, this option is set on the Left, which means that the image will be positioned on the left side of the area. If you want to position it differently check the other options: Center and Right.
  • Background attachment – Set this option if the image you use should be fixed or it follows you when you scroll.
  • Stretch background –  This option stretches the image all over the screen. Please leave this option disabled if you are using a Background click Ad.

Mobile menu/ search background – Allows you to set a background image for the mobile menu and the search section of the mobile menu.
