Dashboard Background Image Size

I'm trying to upload a decent background image to a dashboard - it seems there are no options to resize the image and I can't find any documentation on prefered sizing. Can anyone help? 

 

Thanks,

    Hi Anonymous ,

    You are right. There is no option to resize images directly. You need to define the properties with JSON code and upload the theme file into dashboard.

    {
"imageHeight": {
          "type": [
            "numeric"
          ],
          "displayName": [
            "Image height"
          ],
          "description": [
            "The height of images in pixels"
          ]
        },
"imageScaling": {
        "imageScalingType": [
          {
            "value": "Normal",
            "displayName": "Normal"
          },
          {
            "value": "Fit",
            "displayName": "Fit"
          },
          {
            "value": "Fill",
            "displayName": "Fill"
          }
        ]
    }
}

      I'm reffering to the Dashboard, not the report itself.
