Organize images
It allows you to create multiple image sets, from which an image is selected and displayed as the website background. The images can be uploaded from your local computer, selected from the images available in your Media Library, or import them from other plugins and third-party sources.
Easy to use
With an easy to use menu, you can also define how the background image is displayed, such as full-screen (with ratio correction), tiled, fixed or scrolling, define where the image is positioned and how a background image is selected (random or in sequential order).
Full screen
Full screen images will cover the entire browser window, and with ratio correction the image will never be distorted (“squished” or “stretched”).
Where supported, in full-screen mode the the background image is optionally “eased in” when it is ready to be displayed. No longer will visitors with slower Internet connections have to endure watching a background image load from top down.
Full Control
You can also limit the background images to certain parts of WordPress, for example only on the front page or a full-page post.
And for each individual page, post, category or tag, you can also override the images, overlay or color used as the background, which allows you to have pages or posts with a different background theme.
Background Overlays
You also have the ability to add an overlay to the background images with a choice of pre-defined patterns. And of course it is also possible to add a background color.
Background Linking
Each individual background image can also be linked to a specific URL, which allows a visitor to click anywhere on the background and be redirected to another page or website.
And much more! All this is done without the need to edit the theme or any other files!
