XF 1.4 Background Problems

[Shattered]

I am using the style Flexile, and have never used xenforo before, I am very new to doing backgrounds. I looked it up and it said inside the General and then HTML there is a spot for a image as a background, So basically I setup an image. And there is one problem. The background of the template is covering the image... How do I fix this?
Here you can see a closer look of the template background I want to change.

I think you want this:

Admin CP -> Appearance -> Style Properties -> General -> Body

(instead of General -> HTML)

Okay, I got the image in a fixed position.... But there is a problem, when you scroll the image doesn't scroll smoothly.... How do I fix that?

What is your forum URL? I want to see the problem.

Fixed background images do require some extra rendering while scrolling which can cause visual lag on underpowered systems.

I figured something out, and that is it only happens when I use the scroll wheel.

It scrolls smooth for me.

The scroll lag is on the client side. Not much you can do.

You might try a different image format. As a grayscale image you don't need the color depth of a PNG. Try using GIF. I don't know if that will help the lag, but it's worth a try.

You could also compress the image or if small enough and worth doing convert it to and embed it directly as a data URI.
