    Hey Im having some trouble with some background-images backgrounds not being transparent when used as background-image in css! The images have been formatted okay and theyre backgrounds are transparent when the images aren't used as background-images. Is there a work around to get the images to display as intended as background-images?
    Thanks in advance

    Use the body function instead. This will specify color, image, image repeat, position and attachment. Make sure your image is in the same directory as your .css file
    body {
    background: black url("example.jpg") no-repeat fixed 50% 50%;
    }

    Color Values
    [background-color] | [background-image] | [background-repeat] | [background-attachment] | [background-position]
