      @Wilco89 I know this thread is old, but maybe you can help. Do you know how to change the background picture based on time of day? I have seen modules that update by a random interval, but looking for specific time.

      I’m making a MM for a friend. I’m going to have a background image on it, but I want it to change to the scary girl from The Ring late at night. Should be a nice surprise for him…

      Thanks.

        @I_Am_Anthony Off the top of my head, use the scheduling module and the background image module in conjunction. There’s no reason you can’t put the background module in twice and swap 'em out at a particular time.

          in custom.css add from main.css

          .region.fullscreen {
            position: absolute;
            top: -60px;
            left: -60px;
            right: -60px;
            bottom: -60px;
            pointer-events: none;
          }
          

          then add

          background: transparent url("background.jpg") no-repeat center;  */image must be in css folder*/
          background-size: cover;
          opacity: 0.5; */what ever opacity you want/*
          z-index: -1;
          

          so you have

          .region.fullscreen {
            position: absolute;
            top: -60px;
            left: -60px;
            right: -60px;
            bottom: -60px;
            pointer-events: none;
            background: transparent url("background.jpg") no-repeat center;
            background-size: cover;
            opacity: 0.5;
            z-index: -1;
          }
