Repeating sidebar image
-
Hi there,
With my blog’s Appearance/ Background options I originally selected an image and set it so that it would tile vertically down the left hand side of the page.
I’d like to do something a bit more imaginative here and was wondering if the following idea would be possible. My blog is retro football themed and I would like to create a single image in Photoshop that would be a composite of a number of different old fashioned adverts.
This image would be very high but not wide as ideally I would like to select it as my new non-tiling sidebar image that would run from top to bottom on my page.
There would be a bit of trial and error to get the height to somehow match the full scroll of the page but I was wondering if this sounds feasible at all?
Thanks,
Craig

You’re using Chunk. Chunk doesn’t have a sidebar.
I understand you’re talking about the background space at the left. That space doesn’t have a fixed width: the theme is centered in relation to the browser window, so how much of the bg a visitor will see depends on the visitor’s screen resolution. For example, here’s what one sees in a 1680px wide screen (cropped to show the top left part only):

And here’s what one sees in a 1280px wide screen (top left again):

On screens that are 1204px or lower, you see no bg at all.Also, when you say “get the height to somehow match the full scroll of the page”, which page do you mean? The homepage? The homepage doesn’t have a fixed height: it’s height depends on the length of the content of each post. And even if it had a fixed height, it won’t be the same as the height on the single post view, or a category page with only a few posts, etc.
