# .css, .sass or .less

Let's see, as an example, the different ways you have to change the backgrounds image of the login page.

First let's [download a background image](https://coolbackgrounds.io/) an put it in our public directory:

<figure><img src="https://content.gitbook.com/content/N2jP04ve5XD0mhCzbqnp/blobs/8B7pu1zo4iDUHyMhoY03/image.png" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="info" %}
If you wish to do so, you can hot swipe assets that you have placed into your public directory in your Keycloak instance files at:

**/opt/keycloak/themes/**[**\<name of your theme>**](/documentation/v11/configuration-options/themename.md)**/\<login|account>/resources/dist**

<img src="https://content.gitbook.com/content/N2jP04ve5XD0mhCzbqnp/blobs/Q0KB0ahkeUmbAGJrdfpv/image.png" alt="" data-size="original">
{% endhint %}

Let's apply this image to the body using plain CSS

{% code title="src/login/main.css" %}

```css
body.kcBodyClass {
  background: url(/background.png) no-repeat center center fixed;
}
```

{% endcode %}

We import the StyleSheet:

<pre class="language-tsx" data-title="src/login/KcPage.tsx"><code class="lang-tsx"><strong>import "./main.css";
</strong>import { Suspense, lazy } from "react";
// ...
</code></pre>

Result (see [testing your theme](/documentation/v11/testing-your-theme.md)):

<figure><img src="https://content.gitbook.com/content/N2jP04ve5XD0mhCzbqnp/blobs/2FhqTiYVsrR7Gbc09P7C/image.png" alt=""><figcaption><p>Custom background successfully applied</p></figcaption></figure>

If you prefer, you can also move the background.png image from `public/` to, for examples, `src/login/assets/background.png` and reference the image with a path relative to the CSS file, in this case it would be:

{% code title="src/login/main.css" %}

```css
body.kcBodyClass {
  background: url(./assets/background.png) no-repeat center center fixed;
}
```

{% endcode %}

In the following video I show how to load different background for different page and how to create [theme variant](/documentation/v11/theme-variants.md).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://doc-old.keycloakify.dev/documentation/v11/customization-strategies/css-level-customization/using-custom-assets/plain-css.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
