 * The plugin work nicely but for on my theme it blocks a repeat-x background image
   at the top which I rather need.
 * Is there a way to change the offset in element to top: 120px; ?
 * Just to illustrate the problem:
    This is the normal theme look: [http://walburgisgymnasium.smmp.de/](http://walburgisgymnasium.smmp.de/)
   I want to keep that grey top background, but so far it is hidden by the new background:
   [http://kbbs.smmp.de/](http://kbbs.smmp.de/)

 * Hi,
 * To keep the grey element, you could add the following to the “Custom Stylesheet”
   of the active Image Set:
 *     ```
       body {
         background: url('http://ddydkcsvoyc4h.cloudfront.net/wp-content/themes/images/bg-grey.png') repeat-x !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * The reason is that Background Manager automatically disables any existing backgrounds,
   to keep them from interfering with your settings.

 * And Background Manager does quite strictly. Unfortunately, too strictly for your
   proposed remedy (thanks, anyway for your fast reply), but that piece of CSS works
   neither in Custom CSS nor in the proper stylesheet.

 * You might be able to cheat it by replacing “body” with “.janus” instead.
