I’d like to share some tweaks that I enjoyed (I’m happy to try submit PR if you think any might be good as default)
No background option:
Under common.scss:
body {
background-color: $primary-very-low;
@if $no-background == "false" {
@if $background-image != "default" {
background-image: url($background-image);
} @else {
background-image: url($default-background);
}
// Default background pattern from Toptal Subtle Patterns
// ♡ https://www.toptal.com/designers/subtlepatterns/japanese-sayagata/
background-attachment: fixed;
@if $tile-background == "true" {
background-size: auto;
} @else {
background-size: cover;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
}
}
Theme setting:
Example:
(Footer is a separate image)
Allow $header-background color to take effect
Under desktop.scss:
Find .d-header and change from $secondary to background: rgba($header-background, 0.92);

^I was going to add that I thought I needed background-repeat: no-repeat; but it seems no

Inspired for tgc’s next game, Sky, but they all use facebook etc. for their communities 
A bright header can be distracting, use carefully 
Small issue
When you click on a user card, the text can be difficult to see if there’s a user card background:
Thank you both awesomerobot and jsthon.
