If you’ve visited my blog recently, you’ve likely seen the interface. It’s designed pretty well. The WicketPixie theme is available as an open-source theme, and is free for you to use on your own site. Liftsifter sent me a message the other day to let me know about a background maker that works great with WicketPixie. Stripe Generator 2.0 allows you to create… well… stripes for your background.

There are three basic steps to creating what you want:

  • Play with sliders and color pickers, untill you obtain a super-cool stripe tile.
  • Press “Download” to save your creation.
  • Edit your css adding this line to the element you want to stripe:

    • background-image: url(”path-to-stripe.png”);

  • If you want to only repeat horizontally your tile (as in the case of tiles with gradient), you must add this line too:

    • background-repeat: repeat-x;

That really is all there is to it. You can create some seriously gorgeous and slick-looking designs. Why not check it out today, and share your creations with the world.

There's never been an easier way to test software without destroying your primary operating system's stability. Think of how many times you wish you could press a 'reverse' button on your computer. Plus, there's no easier way to try new Linux distributions - see what all the fuss is about.
