How to build proportionally scaled, full bleed background images correctly

How do I build full bleed proportionally scaled background images that proportionally scale to different sizes of browser windows and without leaving any blank spaces at the right or bottom? How do I make sure that the text also scales proportionally?

With CSS:
body {background: url(your_BGimage.jpg) repeat}
You need to use small, seemless images strips or tiles that are suitable for repeating across and down the page.

Large background images or photos do not resize in browser unless you build your site entirely in Flash.
Font-size is dependant upon the end user's browser settings.   Viewport size doesn't effect text size.

  • Full bleed background images

    I have full bleed background images. They load correctly (proportionally) and quickly  in firefox. In internet explorer, they take a long time to load and they are scaled disproportionally.  Once I change the size of the browser window, they adjust to the correct scale. Once a page has gone through this motion, it stays correct when revisiting the page. On another computer, also in IE , they load incorrectly at first and after a few seconds, adjust to the correct scale.  What can I do make sure the images load correctly in all internet browsers?

  • How to create a full page background image that is fluid?

    I'm creating a website for my portfolio, and one of the things I wanted to have is a full page background image that the div tags are in.  I know there is a way to put it in via page properties, but that doesn't allow you to add CSS styles and I want the image to re-size with window changes.  This requires putting the image in a div tag, but then it pushes the other div tags (such as my header section and navigation) so that they aren't over the image like I want.  Is there a way to push the image div tag to the back so that the other div tags go over it.
    I'm using HTML5, and it will also be a responsive design, but the fluid background is only for desktops.
    I don't go on the adobe website often, so if you have an answer to this, or need more information to figure it out please email me at [email protected] and you'll get a faster reply than on this forum.
    Thank you everyone for your help.

    You should set this forum to email you on a reply.
    I don't have a link in your question to determine how you are trying to do this, but here's a technique I have used:
    Take a look at this website and see if it doesn't have what you are trying to do. You'll see the flag in the background and I have used opacity in the layers on top of it to keep the flag somewhat visible.
    Now, what the flag does not do is re-size itself with the viewport (the browser window). But the flag is in a div that sits on top of the body. My code is accessible, but you're looking for the flag div and it's defined in CSS thusly:
    #flag {
              width: 100%;
              background-image: url("../images/polish-flag.png");
              background-repeat: no-repeat;
              min-height: 900px;
    Now, CSS3 adds a new attribute you can apply to the background image thusly:
         background-size: 100% 100%;
    That would make your background fill the viewport.
    I chose to not do that, because I was worried about versions of Internet Exploder before 10.

  • Responsive Full Screen Background image - How?

    Hi,
    I would be very grateful for any guidance on the CSS/HTML code that I need to use for inserting a static, 'responsive',  full screen, background image on  a website.
    Best wishes
    Simon

    Depending on what kind of browser support you want to include, this can be a single line of css code...
    background-size:cover;
    ...which takes care of all modern browsers back to IE9. Or, if you want to support older browsers (IE8 and lower), a more involved javascript would be required...

  • Website with Full Screen Background Images

    I'm trying to create a website with full screen background images (or  possibly, a video) that will crop to the browser window. It's also  important that the image be center-justified. The Die Antwoord site does  pretty much what I'm trying to accomplish. I'd also like to know how  they can use such high resolution images. If I try to use a high res  image, the file size is enormous. Another site that uses similar  technology only with a video is the TV on the Radio site.
    I  am fairly new to Flash so please forgive me if this is a rudimentary question.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Bob,
    Thanks for your reply.
    What I'm concerned about is the crispness of my full-page images. Am I right in assuming with a PDF folio, static images won't be as crisp? Is there a way to maintain its sharpness?

  • How is it possible to adjust the background images and the text in Mail?

    How is it possible to adjust the background images and the text in Mail?

    Here's the solution I used to solve the same problem. If you're not comfortable editing the source files, this might be more than you want to take on--but I've done it to several files with no ill effects. You can follow the instructions on this page and the referenced original post from (he includes a link on the page). Good luck! He's got some great tips on some of his other pages.
    http://photo.rwboyer.com/2010/03/15/aperture-3-book-theme-trick/
    A warning about editing the Master pages--it only edits them in that book--it doesn't update the theme. So if you go to create another book with those same layouts, you'll have to duplicate the book and replace all the images. An alternative would be to create a "clean" book with no photos in it and then just use that as a starting point each time.

  • How can I host my full-bleed images (such as browser fill) on a CDN (such as Amazon3) for fast load?

    Hey,
    I was wondering if anyone know how to use a Contenct Delivery Network (such as Amazon S3) to host large images on my Muse site so that they upload faster?
    Thanks

    Yes, you can add web hosted images to your site by clicking Object-> Insert HTML...
    and adding the <img src="" /> tag there:
    However, I do not know that this will increase your loading speed.
    Hope this helps,

    the movie is set to 100% x 100% instead of fixed pixels size,
    causing the
    SWF to fill any available space in browser. You can see the
    html source code.

  • How to get a part of the background image.

    Hi
    I have created a JPanel using paintComponent() and added it to the content pane of the JFrame. It consists of two colors blue and white. It consists of blue background color and on top of that a part of white background is also there. Now i want to place the components only on the white background. But still the components are getting placed on the blue one.Below is the code for creating the panel.
    public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
               try
                    Paint bckGrndPaint = new GradientPaint(200,0,new Color(5,62,95,255) ,200,
                                            500, new Color(226,226,224,255), true);
                    Graphics2D g1d = (Graphics2D)g;
                    g1d.setPaint(bckGrndPaint);
                    g1d.fillRect(0, 0, getWidth(), getHeight());
                    RoundRectangle2D r = new RoundRectangle2D.Float(20,20, getWidth()-60, getHeight()-60, 25,
                                  25);
                    g1d.setColor(Color.WHITE);
                    g1d.draw(r);
                    g1d.fill(r);
                                      }

    Hi,
    For this approach you should use two JPanels ... one for the blue part ... and the other for the white.
    So you can place the components only at the white part. The gradient paint may be splitted
    into two gradient paints. Without this you won't benefit from the
    layout manager ... and setting the components hard coded is not a nice idea...
    If you don't know how to use layouts take a look at this page.

  • Builds warns for missing menu background image

    Hi guys,
    I'm having trouble with building a project. I have four menus; two for each language.
    The first one (Swedish) works fine, scripting and branching is OK.
    The second one (English) does not work at all. Even though I have set background and overlay image in the English menu(s), build warns that no image is set.
    What should I do?
    In my other post the English branch is not run at all, even if everything seems to be correct in Simulator, it does not work in DVD player.

    I'm using the UB version. The assets are all there, have double-checked.
    I always use TIFFs for backgrounds and overlays, since layered menu could cause problems. (If not, they are at least slower on playback).
    Alternate language menus? You must be joking, right? I would NEVER trust the viewer to set up their stand-alone DVD or computer to match language settings. Nope, plain old "duplicate" menus, with different graphics and scripting to stay in either menu branch.
    I did the whole thing from scratch, using all the same assets. Now it works just fine.
    This is a first time for me.... hopefully the last, too!

  • How do I download the full resolution JPEG images from my iPhone to my flash drive through my mac?

    When I plug my iPhone 5S into my MacBook Pro through a USB 2.0 to Lightning cable, the phone doesn't show up as a device in finder (#imisssnowleopard). How can I grab the images off the phone and put the files on my flash drive? (without using the iPhoto library compression or the iTunes photo compressing) (iPhone 5S with latest iOS)(15" MacBook Pro June 2009, most recent OS X)

    Use Image Capture to import the pictures wherever you want to have them.

  • How can I get Firefox to load "Background" images in Windows 7(32 Bit)? They will not load in Windows 7 Professional but will load in XP Virtual console when I installed Firefox there. How do I get it to load properly in the normal Windows 7 window?

    I have a Toshiba laptop Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU Q740 @1.73GHz 1.73 GHz , 4.00 GB RAM, 32-bit Operating system
    I noticed the problem after installing Firefox 4.0.1, but by uninstalling and reinstalling found it was also a problem with the previous version.
    There are no boxes displayed on this form, but on my XP desktop computer, they are displayed. I have both open so I know where to type.
    I installed Firefox on the XP virtual console on this machine and it worked fine, but not using Windows 7.
    None of the posted suggestions for similar questions on this forum worked.

    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their colors and that you haven't enabled High Contrast in the Windows Accessibility settings.
