 * Hi Carolyn, you should be able to set a custom background to replace the white
   in Appearance>Background inside your WordPress admin panel.

 * Where exactly would that be? From the dashboard menu i went to theme and clicked
   on customized. thats where I seen it in other themes. There is nothing that says
   background in this section. I’ve been looking for a long time and Im not sure
   where else to look 🙁
    Can you be more specific? thank you
 * btw I when I searched wordpress about accessing the background via admin panel
   it showed me this: [http://codex.wordpress.org/File:appearance-background.png](http://codex.wordpress.org/File:appearance-background.png)
 * in the “appearance” section on my dashboard I do not see “background” as an drop
   down option.

 * Sorry Carolyn, I forgot to enable that feature. You can add the following code
   on its own line at the bottom of the functions.php file (Appearance>Editor>functions.
   php) or you can wait a little bit for an official update. I’m not sure how long
   it would take the theme developers to push it through live. Code:
 * `add_theme_support( 'custom-background' );`
