horizontal repeating top header image AND tiled background image

**Big Frank** · 12 April 2013, 06:05 PM

i know i can do this but i cant remember how to do a horizontal repeating top header image AND tiled background image ( like a texture background tile)

i have used the tweakset 7 for the horizontal repeating top header image but it breaks if you add a pasteboard colour or background image

please can somebody help me i'm feeling so damn stupid i have done it before and i just cant remember the trick

the tweakset shows how you can add a colour but i need a repeating tile

Well you can only apply one background image to the body as far as I know. There might be a way if you apply a background tile to html and the header background image to the body but I don't know if that would work. I'm thinking I might have seen an example like this on xarausers at one time but again I could be wrong.

This is straight forward stuff now in Web Designer 9 Premium.

See ► http://xara-users.magix.net/public/f...ed-background/
(Xara's included fills don't always tile seamlessly

)

Download the trial and use it for 30 days..

thanks both for your assistance, this is so easy to do in code, i don't understand why it's not incorporated into xwdx

if i create it in wd9 and then edit it in xdpx i assume i will lose that function?

Yes..
But will be included in the next DP of course.

in the end ive decided on a single long vertical image, certainly not ideal but time is money

Yes, that's the best method in earlier versions without resorting to imported HTML styles.

i'm not sure what you mean by imported html styles?

Hi all,

Sorry to be dense (my default) but how can you have a bordered top graphic and a tiled background/page? I keep trying in XWDP9... I can do one or the other but not both. What have I missed?

Also guys please please forgive, but what is the best way to have the page start lower. I used to mess with the 0-0 points, but there must be a better way.

Thanks.
