This is a very inspiring theme. I like it a lot. Many elements are highly adaptable within other themes.
One thing I’m trying to replicate, is how the page load/transition has been handled.
I need to remove the white flash, that is in the standard theme - it goes completely unnoticed due to white being universal colour.
In graceful however the background is viewable as if that white transition is transparent. **Is this how it was achieved and if so what part of the CSS is controlling this behaviour?.**

Here’s the CSS for how the background is applied in this theme, I _think_ this is what you’re looking for?
```scss
body {
background-color: #f8f8f8;
background-image: url(https://community.example.com/example.jpg);
background-attachment: fixed;
background-size: auto;
}
```
By default in Discourse the background color is applied to the HTML tag, so this just covers that up entirely.

@awesomerobot Once more _a_ lighting and exacting reply! 👍
This has me sorted for now, so again much thanks.
It more than just feels like this theme has it’s own rapid repose unit! 😉
It’s inspiring themes and the work that goes into them, helps newbies like me wrap our semi-baked noodles around such fine cloth, by finding some direction and then pitching the right and wrong questions as we go on our journey forth!
