There are two types of backgrounds available to insert – image and gradient. You can insert multiple backgrounds. Backgrounds on the top of the list will cover those underneath. Solid color is always under all other backgrounds.
Solid Color |
The solid color is all one color with no variation (half-tone or gradations). If you insert non-transparent image backgrounds they will cover the background solid color. |
Gradient |
Gradients are smooth transitions from one color to another.
|
Type |
Linear |
Create image which represents a linear gradient of colors. It goes down/up/left/right/diagonally. Technical info |
Radial |
Create image which represents a gradient of colors radiating from an origin, the center of the gradient. Technical info |
|
Angle |
Specifies the angle of direction for the linear gradient. |
Bg container |
Available for areas and rows only. Defines whether the gradient background position is relative to the content span or the entire row. [screenshot] |
Position |
Set the starting point of the gradient line.
|
Repeat |
No repeat
|
The gradient image will not be repeated |
Repeat-x |
Repeat the gradient infinitely in horizontal direction |
Repeat-y |
Repeat the gradient infinitely in vertical direction |
Repeat
|
Repeat the gradient infinitely in both directions |
Repeat property will work only for gradient backgrounds with custom size.
|
Size |
Auto |
Gradient background will cover the entire container |
Custom |
Define custom width and height for the gradient image |
|
Colors
|
You can define multiple color stops (at least two) for each gradient. Color stops are the colors you want to render smooth transitions among. They support transparency, which can be used to create fading effects. |
Image |
Bg Container
|
Available for areas and rows only. Defines whether the image background position is relative to the content span or the entire row. [screenshot] |
Position |
Sets the starting position of the background image |
Repeat |
No repeat
|
The background-image will not be repeated |
Repeat-x |
Repeat a background-image only horizontally |
Repeat-y |
Repeat a background-image only vertically |
Repeat
|
The background image is repeated both vertically and horizontally |
|
Size |
Auto |
The background image contains its width and height |
Contain |
Scale the background image to be as large as possible so that the background area is completely covered |
Cover |
The gradient’s shape is sized so it exactly meets the closest corner of the box from its center |
Custom |
Define custom width and height for the background image |

Warning!
Using many gradient backgrounds may slow down your website on older machines. Multiple backgrounds DO NOT work in older browsers like IE 7/8 and some legacy mobile browsers. You can check a detailed compatibility list here.
