 * I recently started toying with the WordPress Customizer API. All is going pretty
   well, I managed to add an option so set the background image for a section on
   my theme (using WP_Customize_Image_Control). However, I’ve run into a bit of 
   trouble trying to figure out how to add display options.
 * What I mean is, on the default WordPress “Background Image” section, after you
   upload a image it comes up with options for whether or not to repeat the background,
   positioning, etc. Like So:
    ⌊WordPress Background Image Settings⌉
 * I’m trying to figure out how exactly to display these options on my own custom
   background setting. Does anyone know where to start on this?

 * Hi [@cgfx360](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cgfx360/)
 * I’m not sure if you have looked at this post: [https://make.wordpress.org/themes/2015/05/07/customizer-tutorials-and-documentation/](https://make.wordpress.org/themes/2015/05/07/customizer-tutorials-and-documentation/)
 * It does provide a few links as well.
 * I do know that section is several settings ( theme_mods ). You can find it here:

 * Thanks for this! I had seen the core WordPress code for the settings before but
   they were much more helpful upon a second look.
 * I sadly never was able to get the “Image Position” selector to really work, but
   otherwise everything has gone pretty well.
 * Thanks!
