   image to be seen (from top to bottom, but obviously only the sides).

 * Hey Glen,
    Something like 2000×1200 should work well. What have you used so far?

 * You may want to use this css:
 *     ```
       body {
       background-size: cover !important;
       }
       ```
   
 * That you can add in your theme options > advanced settings.
 * That would force the image to resize with the screen size.
