custom.css ......body???

[piki]

but in which line in the tree should I edit (configure) just write the path there…or?

[sdetweil]

@piki sorry, don’t understand the question

put your file in ~/MagicMirror

then your css url will be
http://localhost:mm_config_port (usually 8080)/filename(whatever the name of the file is in the MagicMirror folder)

http://localhost:8080/somefile.jpg
or whatever you call it

if you don’t want to copy it then

cd ~/MagicMirror
sudo ln -s /wherever_the_actual_file_is somefile.jpg

that will create a link for the file (from the booted sd card) to the MagicMirror folder
as somefile.jpg

you can name it whatever you want with whatever type it is: gif, png, jpg…

[piki]

sku.jpg (its my file) and is found in MagicMirror/sku.jpg

[sdetweil]

@piki so
http://localhost:8080/sku.jpg

[piki]

http://localhost:8080/sku.jpg

and should I enter that in custom .css?

body {
background-image : url('http://localhost:8080/sku.jpg.');
background-size: cover;

[sdetweil]

@piki yes,
you should be able to use the developers window to add that to test out

select the body element and add in top right

[piki]

I copied it directly into custom .css…but it still doesn’t work

[sdetweil]

@piki can you show the custom.css entry

[piki]

body {
background-image : uurl('http://localhost:8080/sku.jpg.');
background-size: cover;

}

[sdetweil]
