Different options for Background Size
Let's take a sample image to find difference between the three options available for background size. Here we are trying to setup a background image for our dashboard
On selecting option 'Percent' the image is adjusted to the height of the dashboard and is expanded to cover the entire dashboard page.
On Selection option 'Contain' the background image height is equal to the height of the dashboard page and width is in proportion to the height of image irrespective of the dashboard width
On selecting option 'Cover' the background image is expanded diagonally to adjust dashboard page width and while doing the same image might not be displayed completely
