# [Plugin: OptionTree] Using the 'Background' option

 * Can anyone explain how to integrate the ‘background’ option in a theme? While
   I love this theme, and have no issues with the most part, the whole custom css
   section escapes me.
 * I’ve added this to dynamic.css, with no results:
 *     ```
       body {
         {{custom_bg_css}}
       }
       ```
   
 * I also called the file ‘dynamic.css’ in the header manually, but the database
   won’t populate the css fields. When I view the source, it picks up dynamic.css,
   and the body tag, but all I get are empty tags:
 * `body { }`
 * I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me how to use the custom css
   option in this plug-in.
 * Thanks in advance.

 * You need to add a custom css field in the options for OptionTree, then add your
   code to the settings of that field. OptionTree will automatically write the dynamic.
   css properly.
 * This will be very similar to the using the Typography field as I discovered tonight:
