Re: [WSG] advice on background images?

2010-11-26 Thread cat soul

Hi, Jon;

Thanks for the offer of more info on this, and sorry for bending  
(breaking?) the main purpose of WSG!


Any info you can offer on this subject would be a huge help!

I would recommend you try somewhere like cgtalk.com (or email me

Use a better background-image? I’m not sure what you mean? bg images repeat if 
you tell it to do. You either have an image designed to repeat or you don' (or 
you have a vector image via SVG that scales instead).
