I'm not familiar with, and have not tried, any of the Jetbrains tools. When you say psuedocode, are you talking ::before ::after or something else? I've used svg icons on elements as background-image DataURIs -- probably similar i

Fair, I was fine going this direction because you're a click a way from get the full view and with the hover there isn't much more "preview" to show. My number one priority with the hover was making it obvious the given

Thanks, I've designed a few UIs for manipulating graphics and spent a few tries iterating and improving this one in particular. There was a need to show as much background as possible, sometimes the limitations lead to some creative ch

No I've never heard about Rule 30, I would have been nervous to click that link if it wasn't leading to a Wikipedia article, phew, but the concept is quite cool and inspiring. Thanks for sharing that with me!

Much appreciated, always nice to hear that :)

Hey thanks, I didn't pay for bots, unsure how to prove that though.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Each one can be copied as inline SVG or CSS using the background-image property with a data URI. Most are under 1KB.

"Can I still use the backgrounds I already installed?" — Yes, you just can't save/download backgrounds for future use. "If I pay monthly, I want at least monthly updates." — Great point and I'm trying

by visiwig 3y ago
Sure, some only have a need for a background or two, others have ongoing needs. In your case at $10 per image, wouldn't a $15/month subscription be a good value if you got 2+ images (a value of $20+) — assuming you cancel before b

by visiwig 3y ago
Nope, you don't lose the license. Once your subscription ends, you can keep all the backgrounds you added in your projects, BUT you can't add new backgrounds to new projects.

Fair enough, I understand not everyone will think the price is reasonable. However, I'd point out that one single comparable image from iStock costs $12 to $33, while $15 with SVGBackgrounds.com will get you unlimited backgrounds for u

Thanks for reporting the bug Quartz. I'll have to look into this.
