<h4>Background</h4>

<p>By default the background of the Web panel is black with a lighting effect. However you can add an image source as the background and either choose to have that image centered in the panel or repeated by typing in details. In that case, you may even want to set a transparent background for your image. Alternatively, just pick a colour from the colour palette and leave the <span class="reference">Image source</span> field blank, as shown below:</p>
