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

                is the css selected
                and are there any errors? (in the console tab)

                  /sku.jpg.');

                  you also have a trailing . in the image name, ‘jpg.’

                          @piki no… your copy of custom.css said

                          body {
                          background-image : uurl(‘http://localhost:8080/sku.jpg. <<<<<<<<<—’);
                          background-size: cover;

                          }

                          see the dot AFTER .jpg

                          also, you need to move the image to some subfolder

                          this worked for me(random jpg)

                          body {
                              background-image : url('http://localhost:8090/config/scan-uuid.jpg');
                              background-size: cover;
                          }

                            I put the sku.jpg file in the config directory…and it works…thank you very much

                            one more question, how do I change the color of the clock and weather module to black?

                              you will have to change/override the CSS for those…
                              in each module folder is the defined css (don’t change there, override in custom.css

                              if not there(same for every module), then examine the elements in the developers window elements tab

                                  @piki see main.css for the defined colors and styles

                                  if nothing there that works for you, then you have to define your own (in custom.css)

                                    if I would like to move the clock or the weather more towards the center from the edge, do I have to write it in config.js? is that so

                                      @piki in config.js are only the defined positions.
                                      see https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/286/regions?_=1732038547578

                                      otherwise you have to use css to adjust things.

                                      note that main.css defines margins around modules and the overall screen

                                      so you may have to adjust margins
