A LOMART module for page backgrounds: a fixed or random image, scaling to the browser window, and display by date range or by site section. It works on top of any template.
bgMAX is a module by the French developer LOMART for managing page background images. It does not depend on the template: once the page has been built, the module injects its own code and changes the background on top of the template styling. That makes it handy for giving certain sections their own background, or for a seasonal campaign, without editing template CSS.
Features
- A fixed or random background image.
- Scaling to the browser window size, with an optional fade-in.
- Tiled repetition of the image.
- Showing a background only during set periods or for particular content.
- Settings for the content block: size, colour and transparency.
- A field for custom CSS.
