Single background image across all rows / the whole page?

[charleyray]

Hi guys

Thank you SO much for Lay Theme - it's absolutely brilliant!

I am trying to put a background image across one of my pages.

E.g. having these flowers below as one single image down the whole page, rather than having different images on each row.

I've searched your website / this forum and can only see how to set each row with a different image, or set a background image for the whole website in "Customize" → "Background". Both of which aren't the effect I'm looking for.

Is this possible?

Thanks so much :-)
Charley

This is possible 🌝

When adding an Image to the Gridder, you can 'right-click' either the Element or the Row and set an "HTML Class or ID" :

---

In the example above I have filled the row with my desired image and given it the custom Class name "special".

Then within:

Customize > CSS

Or:

Lay Options > Custom CSS & HTML > Custom CSS

I have added the following code:

.special img{
	position:fixed;
	width:100vw;
	height:auto;
}

This targets the row with the class "special" and tells the Image inside to follow these CSS Rules.

---

Now the result:

This Image of Clouds will remain in the background as i scroll up and down the page and keep a width of '100vw' ( 100% of the browser's viewport width).

You may wish to add the CSS 'z-index' property to the above code if certain elements are hidden behind your image:
