Using a background image
Permalink Browser Info Environment
Is there a way to use an uploaded image as a background for every page on the site? Also, is it possible to have some pages use a different background image? I can change the color for the whole site, but would prefer to use an image.
Thank you!
Thank you!

No, with the current version, it is not possible to have custom images as a background (unless you know CSS). However, I have made note of this, and will see about adding this as a new feature / option in the next version release (1.7), to be released very soon!
Here is what you do to set a background image. (Assuming you are using the default template.)
Step one: Go to - public_html/concrete/themes/default/images
and upload your picture
Step two: Edit the CSS
Go to - public_html/concrete/themes/default/main.css
Now at the very top of the file you should see:
You want to add this code right after it:
This will put an image as the background, center it and repeat it vertically all the way down.
So the ending code block should look like this:

Thank you! This is very helpful.
Glad it's helpful. You're welcome. :)
I will keep an eye out for the new version. Otherwise, I like the template.
