    I've just spent some time with photoshop making a background image to match edges of my container background but now viewing on a different computer its not matching up. Im wondering if there is a way to do this. I'm assuming it has to do with screen resolution. The link is http://www.cowichanwebsites.com
    Also I know it's plain but would welcome some critique.

    It;d be impossible to match it up on every screen size. for large screens you can change the position of the body background. You will probably need to an important, to ensure it overrides it though. Also, optionally if you wanted to shrink the flowers to look a bit neater on mobiles. You can add the 'contain' property to the site container.

    Here's what you would need to add to your stylesheet that;

    body.custom-background {
        background-position: center -36px !important;
    }
    
    .site-container {
        background-size: contain;
    }

    I love helping creative entrepreneurs build epic things with WP & Genesis.

    Thank you so much for your help. I've added that to my style sheet but I haven't checked on other computers yet. It definitely looks better on my mobiles now though. Thanks again!
