[ckan-dev] Changing background image on new CKAN install

Sun Jul 28 23:16:19 UTC 2013

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

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.
