Changing background image of LaTeX Beamer

I’ve learned a very nice trick to change the background image of your LaTeX Beamer presentations. First of all I will give an example how to change the background image for all your frames. All you have to do is to put the following code into the preamble of your .tex document:

\usebackgroundtemplate{
\includegraphics[width=\paperwidth,
height=\paperheight]{my_bg_image}
}

Now if you want to change the background only for one specific frame, then you have to create a block and set an image (in this example my_bg_image) as the background of this block and then you can enter the code of your frame, like the following example:

{
\usebackgroundtemplate{\includegraphics[width=\paperwidth]{my_bg_image}}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Frame with nice background}
\begin{itemize}
\item 1
\item 2
\item 3
\end{itemize}
\end{frame}
}

That’s all. Now we are able to create some beautiful slides.
