HELP - How to add a background picture in Dawn theme (the simplified way)

[thall009]

Hello! I am NOT a coder.  After searching the database, I came across a code, but it didn't work for me.  I want to use this background: https://unsplash.com/photos/R53t-Tg6J4c. The grainy background itself. Can someone help?  And be specific about where to copy and paste?

Thank you!

Please add the following CSS code to your assets/base.css bottom of the file.

.gradient {
    background: var(--gradient-background);
    background-attachment: fixed;
    background-image: url(https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0461/7633/8071/files/nordwood-themes-R53t-Tg6J4c-unsplash.jpg?v=1649213231) !important;
    background-color: transparent !important;
    background-position: top left !important;
    background-size: auto !important;
}

I wanted to know how I can add a repeat image as a background in the dawn 5.0 theme. Can anyone help with the code?

Hi! This code works, but it is also applying to the header and footer. How can I make sure it only applies to the body?

It didnt work for my store. Can anyone help?

This worked to add the photo to the background, but it added the image separately to each section. For example it shows the image as the background of the image banner then separately as the background for the rich text instead of one continuous image for the whole web page. Is there anyway to have the one image applied to all sections evenly?

Is there a way I can have the background image at a different transparent %. Instead of the image being at 100%, if I wanted the image to be at a 65% transparency?
