Forum:Background Help Needed

I'm attempting to add a background to my Wiki and am running into some trouble. I got an image commissioned previously for it, but it isn't quite fitting properly. Tile and Fix settings don't do much for it. What could be done to fix an image like this for use as a background? If you're wondering what the CSS I used was, it was this:
 * It's probably a good idea to post the CSS you used to add the image because the problem could have been a CSS issue. When I added the background to a page on my testing wiki, it worked fine.

.page-Test { background-image: url("https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/vtol-vr/images/5/50/Wiki-background/revision/latest?cb=20201130225929"); background-repeat: no-repeat; background-attachment: fixed; background-position: center; background-size: cover; }
 * (test was the page i tested it on) -
 * I tried using the Theme Editor for that, so that may have caused some issues. How do you implement a background with CSS?

 * I'm not great with CSS, but creating a page called " " and pasting this onto the page should be sufficient

body { background-image: url("https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/central/images/5/5b/FandomBG.png/revision/latest?cb=20201130230525"); background-attachment: fixed; background-position: center; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-size: cover; }
 * This page has some info about CSS enhancements if you're interested.

I put that line of code in, but now there's one problem remaining. I removed the original graphic from my Wiki in the Theme Designer, but there's still a black BG overlay covering up my new background that I can't seem to get rid of. It looks to be the Main color setting in the Background area. How can I get rid of that?

It might be the background that's set in the theme designer is overriding the one on the CSS page, so removing the background set in the theme designer might work.

Unfortunately, I'm not talking about the Background Graphic; I'd already removed that. I'm talking about the background-color value in .skin-oasis in the page's Source. That seems to be left over from the Theme Designer. There doesn't seem to be any way for me to bypass it through the Theme Designer itself. Do you know of any way in which I could manually bypass the background with CSS?

UPDATE: Turns out, there was a better way to do it after all. I managed to get a good Background Graphic image set up from the materials I got from my commissionee. No more need for dodgy CSS tricks for now! My issue is resolved.

 * I'm glad your issue was resolved. For future readers - indeed inserting a wiki background should be done with the theme designer in most cases, and using custom CSS for that should be reserved for special needs. Nam  22:47, December 2, 2020 (UTC)
