Evo Template Question

I like the new responsive EVO template, but was wondering if there is an easy way to change the background photo?  I've checked the admin panel and wasn't able to find an easy way to do so.  Any help or direction would be appreciated.  Thanks!

In the templates general.css

div.sys_root_bg {
    position: fixed;
    top: 0px;
    left: 0px;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;

    background-image: url(../images/sys-bg-main.jpg);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: center center;
    -webkit-background-size: cover;
    -moz-background-size: cover;
    -o-background-size: cover;
    background-size: cover !important;
}

Just upload a different image to  /templates/tmpl_evo/images/

Then change the line in red to reflect the new file name

Why don't we have any drop-down menus from the top menu in the Evo template?

No drop-down menus on my local copy, or on the demo site.  Drop-downs work fine on the uni and alt templates.

 Because the Evo template is designed to be compatible with mobile devices that don't have a mouse. Drop down menus require the use of the hover pseudo class, which doesn't behave well on mobile devices.

 Just rename the picture to sys-bg-main.jpg (you want add in the background) and upload it in /templates/tmpl_evo/images/

 Via ftp by overwriting the original.

 That is awful advice.

That is the most simplest way to do it. I do daily ;) 

Image Should be of same size

OK... it's simple bad advice. Some people like to name images to reflect what is shown in the images.

For instance:

   background-image: url(../images/BigOleFukinBlackCloud.jpg);

Then maybe they want to use a different background image a few times a year, then revert to the usual one after a period of time. For example:


   background-image: url(../images/BigKnockers.jpg);


   background-image: url(../images/NakedSantaClaus.jpg);

You get the idea..
