This applies to every column. To add an image for just one column/provider see Adding Blocks

Click the 'picture' radio button and use a graphic such as a photo, texture, sketch, logo, etc. as a background. The graphic must be accessible on your computer/network via the Browse button.

The graphic is displayed at 100% size, so if small it will be 'tiled' (the available space will be filled with multiple 'tiles' of the same image).

If it is larger than the space it is to be displayed in, it will be cropped (truncated) to fit, from the right and bottom of the graphic.

A small sample of the chosen graphic displays in the box next to the Browse button.

Tip: If you choose to use a graphic for the background, choose one that is not too 'busy', or if you can, edit the picture using a graphics program to reduce the contrast, increase the brightness, or reduce the colour depth, to give it a pastel effect. Alternatively, use a 'texture' graphic or other subtle background.
