 Backgrounds transition using a fade animation by default. This can be changed to a linear sliding transition by passing ```backgroundTransition: 'slide'``` to the ```Reveal.initialize()``` call. Alternatively you can set ```data-background-transition``` on any section with a background to override that specific transition.
 
+### Parallax Background
+
+If you want to use the parallax scrolling background, set the two following config properties when initializing reveal.js (the third one is optional )
+
+```javascript
+Reveal.initialize({
+	
+	// Parallax background image
+	parallaxBackgroundImage: '', // CSS syntax, e.g. "url('a.jpg')"
+			
+	// Parallax background size
+	parallaxBackgroundSize: '', // CSS syntax, e.g. "3000px 2000px" - currently only pixels are supported (don't use % or auto)
+	
+	// This slide transition gives best results:
+	transition: linear
+
+});
+```
+
+Make sure that the background size is much bigger than screen size to allow for some scrolling.
