If you are having problem with images fitting:
– use this https://www.w3schools.com/cssref/css3_pr_background-size.asp

– change the percentages as necessary
– make sure that the image has the correct aspect ratio or it will look bad

This extension is great for students who want to add flavor to their webcampus. It is easy to use and the changes are instant. I have not experienced a problem using this extension so far. The only thing i would improve on is a better interface when customizing.
