 * Heey everyone,
 * I am making a theme for my own website and I want multiple custom backgrounds,
   so the user can define the images, the reason that I want a background and not
   a normal image is because you get a nice scroll effect.
 * For example, I want a kind of site as:
    [http://intergalacticdemo.wordpress.com/](http://intergalacticdemo.wordpress.com/)
 * By that Intergalactic theme is the custom background given in the .entry-background.
 * Does anyone know how to include multiple custom backgrounds in my theme?
 * Greets,
    Joren

 * Hi Joren, you can download Intergalactic and study how it’s put together. Log
   into a WordPress.com account and click “Download Intergalactic for your self-
   hosted WordPress site” in the sidebar here:
 * [http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/intergalactic/](http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/intergalactic/)

 * Yeah, I have tried that.
    But the disadvantage of themes made by WordPress, is
   that their themes are really complicated and it takes a long time to understand
   it. I think the themes made by WordPress are very unclear.
 * Maybe someone knows how to do it? Or maybe someone knows a tutorial where the
   problem is explained?

 * I spoke with the Intergalactic developer, and while she doesn’t have a specific
   tutorial to recommend, she suggests studying the content-home.php file specifically
   to see how the individual post layout is done on the blog index. Hope this helps
   point you in the right direction.
