    Default Slow motion background

    Hi.
    Is it possible in Xara to create such an amazing effect when different background layers are moving with different speed while scrolling the page? It looks cool and like 3D effect.
    thanks

    This is called Parallax Scrolling and as far as I know, you cannot do this in Xara.

    It also helps forum members to assist if you can supply links to examples of what you're trying to achieve

    Parallax is a really cool effect, but as Gary said this is not natively possible in Xara.

    That being said, I do love a challenge. I'll see if I can make something (but no guarantees!)

    Ok, have a look at this really basic example: http://robert74.magix.net/pe/

    NOTE: it may take a while to load, this is because the images are VERY unoptimized, i basically got the images from here as an example: https://unsplash.com/ and they are huge so take a while to download. Should I have spent more time on it, I would of optimized them first.

    File here: pe.xar

    Taken from here: http://callmenick.com/2014/07/15/sim...olling-effect/

    Simply insert the body code in placeholders, the CSS in the Web Properties HEAD section and make sure the photos are linked correctly.

    As before this is a really basic example done over a pint and tiredness, I'm sure someone can do a much more polished example Any questions let me know.

    Thanks
    Rob

    Sorry, the images where way to large. I've optimized the example page much better, should load faster now:

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    Hi Rob

    Apologies for resurrecting this thread, but creating a parallax scrolling effect is turning into a bit of a obsession with me.

    I have had a look at the file you provided, but I cannot work out how to change the background images - I did try ctr+shift+ alt+ A, but this did not work

    Could you advise please?
