How to add cover background? about pelican-alchemy

[rwanyoike]

Hi! pelican-alchemy doesn't support that out of the box, but you could try this:

1. Comment out SITEIMAGE in pelicanconf.py:

   # SITEIMAGE = '/images/profile.jpg width=2000 height=200'

2. Add to themes/pelican-alchemy/alchemy/static/css/style.css:

   /* ------------------------------------------------------------------------- */
   
   .header {
     background-image: url('/images/profile.jpg');
     background-repeat: no-repeat;
     background-size: cover;
   }
   
   .header a {
     color: #fff;
   }
   
   .header .text-muted {
     color: #bbb !important;
   }

Hope this is what you're trying to do:

@ChihHsuLin, you can add extra stylesheets via THEME_CSS_OVERRIDES configuration variable and/or specify whole custom template for base.html if you want to change the layout significantly: see Pelican documentation

I'm closing this issue because I believe it can be solved with existing configuration options and does not need any modifications to Alchemy source tree. Please comment and reopen if you disagree.
