    I made a 2012 child theme by changing the background of most of the page elements in the style.css. Is there a way I could have the background of all the elements change to be the same as the custom background that is set in the wordpress Appearance settings?

    Thanks in advance,

    This in child theme stylesheet will do just that. This code works only if there is a color or an image set in Custom Background theme setting. 

    .site { background-color: transparent; }

@media screen and (min-width: 960px) {
	body .site { box-shadow: none; }
}

    Look in the wiki on how to create a child theme. In the child theme you can use a styles.css file to change the background of a particular class of elements. Use the inspect element feature of your web browser to find the class name of the element you want to change.

    I don’t have wordpress installed anymore so I can’t help you much more than that.
