Hi Cloud.
Did you do this website using Xara?! http://www.cloudwebagency.com
If you did, then how do you make a background that stretches all the way on both sides, no matter what the screen resolution?

Rik, It's not a Xara-built site.
I believe the site uses divs that size to the width of the browser and the background colour that you see is the colour of the div, not a graphic at all.
Thanks for the answer, Paul.
It must be possible in Xara though.
In my gallery, there are backgrounds like that sort of thing, that can be applied.
They just don't seem to be suitable for me, or editable, and only appear to be for the top of the page.
So, I hope Cloud doesn't mind me asking here, if anyone knows how to do that?

It could be a pretty cool thing for Xara to have a horizontal element that will fit the width of the browser and use CSS to colour it rather than a bitmap.
Rik - the site has been created in adobe muse. It's been a while since I used xara but the background aspect can be done quite easily in xara; simply create a rectangle (of the colour of your choice) on the 'background' layer and set it to fill the browser window and it does use css elements rather than images.
Thanks for the reply, Cloud.
But...
What width should the rectangle be?
Should it be on, or off the page?
And I can't see where the option to 'fill the browser window' is?
EDIT: I got it. The object has to be on the 'Pasteboard background'. Then you can select 'Fill browser width'. Thanks, Cloud.

You can tell I haven't use it in a while, yes you are correct it is the pasteboard background.
