Mobile/Desktop Different Images

Technical Q&A
1

Good afternoon,

I am attempting to use a different image for my mobile background, and I was wondering what I am doing wrong. In the bottom of the base.css file, I have added the custom code below.

What I am intending to do is use a different image for mobile and also scale it to fit the store background for mobile. Is there any tweaks to the code I can make to accomplish this? My store is Laugh Labs Design, url: laughlabsdesign.com

Have you found a way around it already, or you’ll still need some aid?

At the moment you have this code, which does not work. So the question is on what element you want to set this background – on body or on image-with-text?

@media only screen and (max-width: 500px){
  .image-with-text.image-with-text--no-overlap.isolate.collapse-corners {
     body {
       background-image: url(/cdn/shop/files/Mobile_Background_Complete_V3.png?v=1761683225) !important;
       background-repeat: no-repeat;
       background-size: cover !important;
       background-position: center;
       height: 100vh;
       width: 80vw;
       position: fixed;
    }
  }
}

Hi Tim,

I didn’t respond yesterday for some reason, sorry about that. Currently, I am trying to get the mobile image to show over the entire background. I have two problems at the moment …

  1. The desktop image shows on mobile when I want the mobile image background to show up.
  2. I am unclear which solution is the better one (image with text or using “body”). I tried both variables, neither of which worked on there own.

Apologies, I know that isn’t alot to go on.

Ah, ok.
I was not quite clear myself – the code snippet I’ve quoted will never work because of extra nesting.
It can work like this:

@media only screen and (max-width: 500px){
     body {
       background-image: url(/cdn/shop/files/Mobile_Background_Complete_V3.png?v=1761683225);
       background-repeat: no-repeat;
       background-size: cover;
       background-position: center;
    }
  }

And generally it should be done like this:

body {
   background-image: url(/cdn/shop/files/desktop_bg_image.png);
   background-repeat: no-repeat;
   background-size: cover;
   background-position: center;
}
@media only screen and (max-width: 500px){
   body {
     background-image: url(/cdn/shop/files/mobile_bg_image.png);
  }
}
