I’d like to be able to set a tile background so that the homepage (latest topics) can download faster with a crisp background graphic. However, I can’t see to find a way to differentiate the body for the latest posts homepage.

Has anyone had luck with this? or perhaps we can request a class for the latest posts homepage, i.e. .latesthome

Another point, it would be great if there were an option for whether backgrounds should load on mobile or not.

Anyone else ever run into this issue?

For mobile you can use `.mobile-view` and `.mobile-device` classes

Some really beautiful backgrounds can be made with tiling:

I’d like to use tiling backgrounds for categories. If the team agrees, may this be added a #pr-welcome tag?
