Twenty Ten background image as tile and no repeat.

By default, after upload the image you want to be twentyten background image, it is set to to “left” “no repeat” and “scroll”. The other options are not so important but the option which says, no repeat, tile, tile horizontally, and tile vertically is important.

When you set an image to be twenty ten background image as tile, it means this image will be repeated all over the page. This method is usually used when your image is in small size and not a full size screen background.

See the option i checked and the result image of twenty ten background image set to tiled:

When you set to “no repeat”, the image should be in a big size dimension, and you want it to appear as a full screen background image.

See the “no repeat” option is checked, and the result screenshot of the background page:

There is a time, when you find the different between your image and background color that can make it more ugly, i use hexa color finder to have the match color.
