XF 1.4 Adding a option account preferences

[owning]

Hello,

on our website we have a background that is changing within a certain time frame (15 sec). Some of our members want to have a static background ,i want to create a yes/no option to enable or disable the background change.

do i need to make a child template with only a fixed background? or is it possible to add it as a option in development mode?

Background change is done with CSS

Either do it as a separate style or create a custom user field checkbox, which will activate/deactivate it (depending on how it has been implemented).

I would probably just go with the two styles option.

ok i have created a checkbox and changed the code part of the background cycle (see below)

when changed it disables my right mouse button, and stops the background change to start even when the option is set to true..
when i remove the <xen:if= then it is working normal..

<xen:if is="{$user.customFields.DynamicBG.true} == 'on' ">
