Working with Background Images in the Concrete5 Dashboard

The previous guide covered adding flash content in Concrete5. In this tutorial, we will show you how to disable / change the background image in concrete5's dashboard. By default, Concrete5 displays a picture of the day from concrete5.org as a background image. These images display in the background of the Dashboard when you navigate the menus. You can disable this feature, or use your own images instead.

How to work with background images in the Concrete5 Dashboard:

1. Login to your Concrete5 Dashboard.
2. Roll your mouse over the Dashboard button on top, and select System & Settings. This will display the System & Settings menu.
3. Under the Basics section, click Interface Preferences to bring up the Interface Settings menu.
