Bootstrap Modal Image Background

Question

Just want to ask if it is possible to have a background image in my modal? I've tried searching but I only see background related things on modal which refers to the page itself. What I want is my modal box to have an image background on it. Or change it color? Thanks. I'm not that good in CSS. Thanks.

Answer 1

Assuming you want an image in your modals body you can use

.modal-body {
   background-image: url(path/to/image);
}

Or if you want it behind your modal you can use

.modal-backdrop {
   background-image: url(path/to/image);
}

Answer 2

Yes, just use background-image: url(path/to/your/image);

$('#myModal').modal() 

.modal-body {
    background-image: url('http://myfunnymemes.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/Doge-Meme-Lion-In-All-Its-Majestic-Glory.jpg');
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: cover;
    height: 400px;
}
