Change background picture for only one section (dawn theme version 12)

[Andreas1723]

Hi! I want to change the background image in each section of my shopify store, I have tried to do this via cusom css but it has not worked out. 

I have used this code in custom css for only the section I am trying to change (check the image)

{
background: url("https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0820/7646/7541/files/prova_denna_2.jpg?v=1699213217")
no-repeat center;
background-size: cover;
}

what I'm trying to achieve is to get the same wavy design as there is on this section:

 i managed to achieve this by editing the image banner before uploading it to shopify, now i want to change the background image on the next section to be the same.

thanks in advance for any help!

Because of the way such sections are design with sloppy class names and divs it's a mess of CSS class attribute-selectors to do this with a css band-aid.

You have to set the background for a full width element then in a bunch of children set their backgrounds to transparent if the section doesn't allow you to clear the colors.

AND possibly change other images on top to have transparency.

Roughly:

[class*='section-template--'] {
 background: url(https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0820/7646/7541/files/prova_denna_2.jpg?v=1699213217) no-repeat center;
 background-size: cover;
 background-color: transparent;
}

.image-with-text__media, .image-with-text__content {
 background-color: transparent;
}

Good Hunting.
