    Retina Logo - upload & use a double size of your logo to keep look great of higher resolution devices like retina or 5k display.
    Mobile logo - use separate logo for mobile devices only, in most cases use smaller version of default logo, which will be suitable for small displays screens in smartphones. Leave it empty if you do not want to show different logo for mobile devices.
  • Body Background Image
    If you chose Boxed Layout (before) you can use that option which allows you to set background image for without editing or adding custom CSS code.
    Select Image - select image (JPG, PNG, GIF) which will be used as the background. To remove a background image, simply delete the URL from the settings field.

These values allow you to tile images across either axis of an element (or both axes) but don’t allow for any finer control than that.
