  Hello,

  I want to purchase the Hive theme, but before I do I want to know whether it is possible to add a custom background image to be displayed behind the articles?

  I have been told it is not possible with the theme but it may be with CSS?

  Thankyou

  Yes, you can add a background behind the posts with CSS, but this can get tricky since background images typically vary in color and value, which can make it difficult to fine a text color that will work. For backgrounds behind text, you typically want a very muted background with not a lot of variation in color value (dark to light).

  The main thing is to keep your content legible and readable for your visitors.
