    WD6 How can I create dynamic photographic backgrounds lime this in Xara?

    Have a look at this website:- http://www.sap.com/australia/index.epx

    This is a site from SAP. What I love is how they have rather stunning photos as backgrounds, with a bit of text on top. Striking, and beautiful.

    www.about.me do something similar.

    The clever bit is - the photos rescale and fill the page no matter what size scree/resolution you use to view the site.

    How can I do this using Xara?

    The Nivo photo plug-in is the nearest thing I can find, but it doesn't re-scale the image according to the browser/device being used.

    Welcome to TalkGraphics

    Basically I think the answer is it cannot be done.

    Xara Web Designer and Designer Pro are wysiwyg web design programs that let users create simple and intuitive designs by placing objects on the page anywhere the user wants, and letting Xara do the heavy lifting and coding. In future versions, dynamic pages might be supported but I would not hold my breath.

    Steve Ledger has a demo page here:
    http://xara-users.info/demos/auto-re...ckground-css3/

    And the relevant thread on Xara Users is here:
    http://board.xara-users.info/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2992

    First place I saw someone do this in Xara.

    Take care, Mike
