Tim I'm on here way too much Registered 25/08/2006 Points 132	12th March, 2007 at 19:22:55 - Wow, I completely misread that twice... yeah it does so in FF too, depending on what spec your gfx card is etc Having it tiled is the easiest option really http://www.SilverNova.co.uk
jpSoul Registered 25/10/2003 Points 1714	13th March, 2007 at 05:13:08 - huh? i don't understand why it will be laggy... normally, it would be faster because the background have not to follow the window when you scroll a little example here: http://tgfcenter.free.fr/dc/home.asp.htm n/a
Billybobjoe198 Registered 12/01/2007 Points 221	13th March, 2007 at 07:25:31 - I think that it is better being tiled than as a fixed back round. Any way that site you linked us to is totally screwed up. n/a
Tim I'm on here way too much Registered 25/08/2006 Points 132	13th March, 2007 at 09:36:16 - I don't see the need or advantage really :\ Looks ok as it is... and if you don't like it you can just change the skin! lol http://www.SilverNova.co.uk
jpSoul Registered 25/10/2003 Points 1714	13th March, 2007 at 11:25:21 - ok ok it was just a proposal the link is the TDC page i have saved; it has bug but it's just to see the background with no-scrolling) n/a

In other words, the way the background is right now is fine, especially for people who don't have decent graphic cards. http://www.facebook.com/truediamondgame

Silveraura God's God Registered 08/08/2002 Points 6747	14th March, 2007 at 17:23:05 - Personally, when I'm on a decent system that doesn't lag, I would much rather a faintly noticeable scrolling background, because they do look better, gives the website more of a parallax feel to it. Performance is why a lot of sites still don't do it though. http://www.facebook.com/truediamondgame
jpSoul Registered 25/10/2003 Points 1714	14th March, 2007 at 17:39:27 - i have tested, it's very strange : when i scroll the page with the normal background it uses about 3% of my processor, but when the background is fixed (parallax effect) it increase between 40 and 70% !!! very strange... it's certainly an optimisation problem, because i can't understand how a simple non-moving background can use this amount of processor activity...

Billybobjoe198 Registered 12/01/2007 Points 221	14th March, 2007 at 21:04:20 - Errrrm Brandon... the standard size has really just changed over to 1024x768 I don't think it's bunna change to 1280x1024 in the next year or so.... I wish my moniter could go that high D: It's from 2002. n/a
axel Crazy? Registered 05/02/2005 Points 4766	15th March, 2007 at 08:52:58 - My monitor can easily do 1280x1024, but I still prefer 1024x768, simply because I'm a penis. I think 1024x768 is closer to being "standard" today, too. I've never had any performance issues with fixed bg's, but I still think they look ugly/noobish in most cases. Edited by the Author. n/a
