I hoped that this feature existed though I wanted to add the timer into the homebanner. Would have been really cool so I really hope this feature get’s done…

Hey everyone :wave:

While this option isn’t available in the settings yet, you can use this code as a workaround (image can be added via URL):

.eapps-countdown-timer { background: url('url'); }


This code should be added to the Custom CSS field on the Appearance tab of your widget’s settings :slightly_smiling_face:

As a photographer, I want to be able to use my own photos as a background. Has this been added as a feature yet?? Thanks!!

Welcome to the Community, @Cantrell_Architectur :wave:

Yes, it’s possible! For this, you should upload your photo to some hosting service (like Imgur) and replace URL in the code below with the image link:

.eapps-countdown-timer { 
background: url('URL'); 
}

The resulted code should be added to the Custom CSS field on the Appearance tab of your widget’s settings :slightly_smiling_face:

It would be great if you could upload a photo to go into the timer.

Glad to say that this idea is already on the Wishlist and I’ve merged your comment with the existing thread.

While this option isn’t available in the settings, you can add the custom background using the CSS code from the message above :slightly_smiling_face:

Friends, this request is now marked as ‘Planned’, which means we’re currently exploring possible development options, so it’s on our radar :muscle:t2:

Please note that we can’t provide any specifics at this stage, as we’re still in the process of estimating potential solutions. Let’s hope we’ll see it in the “In Progress” status, though! :blush:
