I have troubles with the background picture :(. I do exactly the same as you but at the end i get the image center in the center ,therefore it doesnt cover the whole page. Could this problem be because i dont have any text or layout on the page ? :(

@sahoooo I'm not really sure but my wild guess is that the image isn't large enough. Try a bigger picture and see what happens.

@storyindustrial do you have a exact size you might think work the best

@theonlygredd318 most websites are anywhere from 800 to 1000 pixels wide. I would try maybe 1200 pixels wide by maybe 1000 high and see what that looks like.
