How would you stretch it? Perhaps a subtle background-pattern, but I don't see the need to change background patterns on a per-page basis ... That would be like trying to implement change of button color on a per-page basis.

Bulletproof IT wrote:Ok. Again that is your opinion Karl. So are you admitting you made a huge mistake implementing it into X2? You seem to be either taking "suggestions" on as being critical feedback or attacking the project. I am not.

Bulletproof IT wrote:Who's talking button colours? I am simply saying it would be **nice** to have the ability to change the background image / colour within galleries.
For example: repeating graphic (any size). For example: solid colour. For example: Gradient of two solid colours. For example: Static fixed image that crops to screen proportions.

Bulletproof IT wrote:Are you not familiar with how expanding a background image larger than its dimensions is achieved with other systems? How they expand and fit a background image, so that it is even blown up much larger than its original dimensions? (1.2, 1.5 times larger) You must have seen this? Where a small pixelated pattern is added as a layer on top of the background image to hide any distortion.
Are you not familiar with the FIXED background method? It stays in place whilst scrolling.

background: all options here

background-image:
background-align:
background-scale:
background-fixed:

Bulletproof IT wrote:I think you are getting stuck in the nitty gritty. I'm not "telling" you how to implement it. I am "suggesting" ideas with an "example". So I used CSS as an example. Like every car owner will say (and likely business), "I don't care how it works, I just want it to work." So whether it is JS, CSS, HTML, xHTML, PHP, ASP, even Flash, It doesn't matter, it just has to get from point A to point B. We're talking about ideas, not line-by-line methods of coding it.

Bulletproof IT wrote:Others above say it would be a helpful and useful feature. Having a gallery background or pattern or colour would be great. Just like you would set Music or Sort Order or Thumbnail Size per gallery!
Why would you want to specify a different thumbnail size per gallery??? Ok, now why would you not want to specify a different background per gallery??
Thanks!
