Can I make my page text scroll over a background picture?

    This may be a very basic question but, although I’ve used Celesital Lite to construct quite a few websites, I’ve never built one where the text scrolls “up” over a background graphic. To date I’ve only ever used plain white backgrounds.

    My design won’t be “heavy” with text and I’ll be using simple icons where possible to ensure a flat, minimalist, light-weight feel.

    Here are couple of examples of what I mean; they’re not my sites BTW. As my next website will be property-related my examples are drawn from a similar genre.

    Below are another two websites that don’t have a scrolling background graphic but do have the “open” feel I’m aiming for in my next site.

    I’m comfortable with working in the child theme and so was hoping for some suggestions as to what I need to do to achieve that “flat, minimalist, scrolling look.”

    I’ve used a column gadget to split the page so, hopefully, I should be able to position the icons in the lower part of the page.

    Perhaps it’s simply a case of uploading the relevant background picture(s), but if I don’t ask I won’t know.

    Thanks all – the Celestial Lite theme’s great BTW, but you know that already, don’t you.

  • Hi,

    >> for the effect you are trying to do. We doesn’t provide it in celestial lite. But you can do custom coding in child theme to get that effect. For this set the background image. And make theme size cover and background-attachments fixed.

    img{
    background-size: cover;
    background-attachment: fixed;
    }

    Or you can use our other theme which is unique also and have feature like you want

    Thanks

    Hi there and thank you for your reply.

    I’m due to start on designing the webpage in the next few days & so I’ll start with Celestial lite as I’m used to it’s layout etc & see how that looks when finished.

    If not I can migrate to the other theme you suggest.

    Thanks for the coding suggestion and I’ll add that to my child theme and see how it goes.
