Hi,
We are still having trouble implementing a new background. Can anyone provide step by step instructions for how to do this - say to change the default chequered grey background to a new image called "newback.jpg"?
Thanks
Aaron

It is recommended to add your own css via the custom.less file not to
change the base files

This is because it is polling the less files and will recompile the
css when changes are made. This is a feature used in development.
