 * Hi again
 * I’m trying to insert a background image to my site, at the moment it looks like
   this:
 * > [http://crystal-blue-dreams.com/](http://crystal-blue-dreams.com/)
 * I’ve been debugging it in Chrome, and it seems to be calling this from the style
   sheet:
 * > body.custom-background {
   >  background-color: #e6e6e6; }
 * When I turn this off in Chrome, the image displays perfectly, however, I can’t
   find the above code anywhere in the style sheet (child or main).
 * Has anyone encountered this before? Or does anyone know the fix?
 * Cheers in advance.
 * Paul

 * your background image is on the html element, and is covered by the body background.
 * Twenty Twelve has a custom background option for the body background:
 * _**dashboard – appearance – background**_

 * Hi alchymyth
 * Thanks for the reply. I did have a go at:
 * dashboard – appearance – background
 * but the image was zoomed in too much, compared with the way I had using the above
   method.
 * The weird thing is that it was working up until earlier today when I went into
   the theme manager and accidentally opened the background tab.
 * Any ideas if I can undo what I seem to have done?

 * you could try to force the body background to disappear; with this kind of style
   in style.css of the child theme:
 * `body { background: none!important; }`
