Setup Workflow
- Pick Quick Preset to get a stable baseline.
- Add image (optional), then set desktop fit/focus.
- Set overlay + opacity to protect readability.
- Tune mobile fit/focus/attachment for phone behavior.
- Add pattern only after readability is solid.
Mobile Fixes First
- If image is over-zoomed: change Mobile Background Fit Mode.
- If subject is cropped out: change Mobile Background Focus Point.
- If scrolling feels rough: set Mobile Background Attachment = Scroll.
Troubleshooting
- Unreadable text: raise overlay, then adjust background color opacity.
- Too dark: lower overlay first, then lower opacity.
- Desktop/mobile mismatch: tune fit/focus separately for each.
- Pattern looks noisy: reduce overlay changes and keep color contrast moderate.
- No visible image: verify URL is direct image link and saved.
