Background image size

Permalink Browser Info Environment
Can anyone tell me what the ideal background image size AND file size would be, when used as a full browser window background image behind main website content using the "Backstretch" add-on?

Thanks David

There is no real answer to that, it's different for every site. I had a similar question on a Vegas slideshow I was making for a client the other week, one person in the IRC said "below 200k" and I ended up compressing down to about 120k for 1920x1333px images. Backstretch will scale them up, so if you go with too low-res it will look kind of bad when filling the window.

Well that's a good starting point @hereNT thank you. I'll try that and suck it and see.

hi guys, did you make use of Vegas.js with C5?
If so is it hard to inject?

That all depends on your definition of hard. I got it working on that site, but it was pretty customized, with callbacks to display text divs when the slides changed and then switching to a vertically stacked layout instead of a slideshow when it got down to small tablet and mobile sizes.

It's not much harder than implementing any other slider, though.

I think i know what callback are but... i wouldn't be using any.
i would be just as a background slideshow...

i have used the great plugin before (on statics sites)
but never in a PHP environment like C5.

i guess i would have have to put the code in header.php,
the in inline HTML block i suppose? (if the background are different from pages to pages.)

or in some sort of universal file if it's the same backgrounds for the complete site..

Am i completely in the ditch?

thanks for comming back to me.

I modified my Attributes Slider add on to use a different javascript library. Most of the time when I make a slider or gallery I grab an existing block (I have several from previous projects) and change things as needed.
