Unclear but I will say upon opening the site I was sparked with joy and excitement to use them

There’s likely folks who discovered to that svgs could do many amazing things, except the tooling didn’t seem to be readily available.

Now when I see someone build something working with SVG, I check it out to see how it might compare to another way of doing it.

It may also be that I am just comment AI paranoid, but yeah, I find myself a lot guessing if there's a person behind a comment or not

Solid point, I used to do this, and it wouldn't be hard to go back or add a show code button so users can copy the CSS as text.

Fair point. Once you click a thumb to preview the button, it becomes the UI to manipulate the backgrounds. I'll take a look and rethink the setup.

You have access. Enjoy!

Edit: upon further investigation, access isn't something that's just thrown around willy nilly! It usually goes for $120/yr!

I took a look at FireFox and I think it's working, but not obvious that you need to slide the top range slider for the full effect. It would look better if I reversed the effect, I'll have to rethink that.

I think it’s kind of common to have the background for the whole document and then have an overlay with a solid color (and maybe less-than-100% opacity if you’re daring) on which the main content with all the text is shown. This works best for browser that are full screen on PC screens of course where you want to limit text width anyways. On mobile or narrow windows, you don’t have a lot of space to show the background.

Hmmm, that doesn't sound right. Do you mind reaching out to me via the contact form and dropping any more details such as device/browser? BTW, each background does have name, but I hide that on mobile since real estate is limited.

Good memory. I launched in 2018 (8 years ago) and have been adding more graphics over the years -- doubling this specific collection / freebies.

Glad you think so, you're welcome, enjoy!

Hey thanks!

Thanks for the kind words! I've played around a lot with SVG and love how you can change various attributes to achieve cool effects.

Like this user has a comment history of hyping show HN

Yes, I was lucky enough to find a keyword domain that was available. Would recommend :)

Tell me more.

Glad I shared at the right time :)

The license can be found here: svgbackgrounds.com/license

Summary: You can use graphics in personal or commercial projects, you cannot use the graphics as the primary integrity of your product, you must provide attribution (svgbackgrounds.com/attribution)

And before anyone rips off my head, attribution can be placed inside commented out code, so it doesn't need to take away from your design.

Hey great eye. I generally design in Illustrator with a plugin by Astute graphics that allows me to reduce unnecessary anchor points, run the exported SVG through SVGOMG, and then spend solid time hand coding each background in VS Code with the SVG extension by Jock that let's me see a live preview. Then on the actual site the customizer script I wrote will catch some attributes that aren't needed and remove them, but it's far from perfect.
