# Reset options when customizing theme

 * When customizing background colors and image I do not see how to remove the customized
   setting. For example, I set a custom background and then go back and the background
   doesn’t show up in the customization screen as though there were never any customization.
   It does not allow me to remove the previous background image, only replace it.
   I would like to set the background with custom settings, no repeat etc and I 
   can do that in the css file but the customized settings are overriding that. 
   Can you help me remove the custom settings? Thanks.

 * Would that happen as well if you add the “!important” to the css rules?
    Could
   it be that the customized settings are targeting the relevant elements more precise?
