best way to have different background photos on different pages

OK, so I'm thinking I'd like to have a few different background photos related to different themes - for me, fireworks, weddings, parties. Maybe a couple more.

As far as I can tell, the only way to set a background photo is to change the theme of each page. Now, I have a custom theme already set up, but I can't see any way of making a copy of that theme so that I would only need to change the background photo and assign it to galleries.

Do I have to create new theme, manually copy each of the settings in each of the options, then select a new background photo?

Or is there a shortcut?

    If you don't get an answer to this you might submit a feature request...I can see two options: 1) make a copy of a them when creating a new one, or 2) the ability to create a master theme and then choose settings to override at the page/gallery level. I like number 2 because if you wanted to change the font throughout your page you would only have to change the master theme as long as you hadn't overriden the font on any pages/galleries.

    Yeah I can see myself doing one for each gallery! Would be good to separate it from other site changes

    here's a CSS fix for per gallery backgrounds:

    body {
    background-attachment: fixed;
    background-image: url(http://YOURBACKGROUNDIMAGE.jpg);
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-position: center;
    background-size: cover;
    }

    Obvs might have to adjust parameters to match the rest of your site.
