I want to change the background position to something like bottom center and no-repeat. can it be done? If so, how do I do that? Hao-sama 10:02, April 5, 2012 (UTC)

The Special:ThemeDesigner does allow for 'fixing' the background, but it defaults to top/center. You'd have to add CSS to do what you want. Add the following to your Wikia.css file (change the background color and the URL to the image you wish to use):

body.mediawiki {
  background: url("http://image.location.here.jpg") no-repeat fixed center bottom #<background color HEX>;
}
