 * Hi!
    Thank you very much for a great theme. I am considering buying extra options
   to reward your effort, but have a question first:
 * How do I change the default background? I don’t want to have this worn-out-paper
   style.
 * Thank you for your answer!

    Thank you! The theme does offer the option to upload 
   background images (those in the stripe at the bottom) but not to change the default
   background image.

 * The background is set in this CSS:
 *     ```
       #bg-tile {
           background: url("../image/tile1.jpg") repeat fixed left top transparent;
           height: 100%;
           left: 0;
           position: fixed;
           top: 0;
           width: 100%;
           z-index: -4;
       }
       ```
   
 * Probably the easiest way to change that is to just replace that image with the
   one you want. That one is 96px square — but you can likely use whatever size 
   you want.
 * Also, if your theme does not have a custom CSS option, you really should use 
   a plug-in for custom CSS or make a child theme — so that your changes won’t be
   erased when the theme is updated.
