 * Hello,
 * I’d like to add a background-image behind the front columns. It’s easy but I 
   have a pb with the width. I’d like my background image being repeated in all 
   the site width and not only the wrapper. Do you see ? like on this site for instance(
   not done with Mantra just to explain : [http://www.nova-media.fr](http://www.nova-media.fr),
   bandeauHomePage.
    Thanks for you help guys ! Have a good evening

 * Could you link the page you want this to happen to? Or a webpage from the theme’s
   demo site? We need something to go on.

 * Sure : yesyouweb.com
    I’d like the background behing AMOA… to be full width :
   url(“[http://www.yesyouweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/front.png&#8221](http://www.yesyouweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/front.png&#8221);)
   repeat-x scroll center center rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)
 * Additional question : there’s a 50 px somewhere I don’t find for the wrapper 
   size. In mantra settings, I’ve entered absolute, content 800 px, column 250 px,
   total 1050px and with Firebug I see width 1100 px.
    Thanks for you help !

 * The first step you’ll need to do is create a child theme [http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes](http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes)

 * I know it now but as this site is already developped, it’s too late, no? (will
   do it for next one)

 * This thread will be read by others, I’m not comfortable giving advice to edit
   the theme’s files that’ll potentially cause a lot of headache to a lot of people.

 * The extra 50px comes from some additional padding not included in the settings(
   the hint next to the sizes slider explains this).
 * I’m not sure what you want to set the background image on…
    – whole site? That
   should be the background image (Appearance > Background) – #wrapper? Doable via
   CSS; you’d need to not use a top menu and remove the top padding though.

 * Thanks for your answer 🙂 For the little background image ([http://www.yesyouweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/front.png](http://www.yesyouweb.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/front.png))
   I would like to keep the height like this behind the 4 blocks but to have an 
   auto width you goes from left of the screen to right side. And not stooped at
   the wrapper width.
