Important note:

Example:

}
  • CSS code with background-image for <body>element, like in sample above, is added to your default css file only if you have an element selector already defined in your css file. (body {} in this case. The same applies for #id or .class).
  • Otherwise style-auto.css is added to main directory with proper selector and properties.
