Interesting. From the mobile view it appears the page has a right side menu with preview options of all the backgrounds with the space background set as the default tile but I guess I’m misinterpreting the page UI.
- nemomarx 1y agoThe preview is probably just one imagine that would be tiled to create a full background. Isn't that how all backgrounds and wallpapers used to work?
- righthand 1y agoWith the animation on the space background and how the page was previously squished on mobile it looked like preview thumbs for animated backgrounds.
- inanutshellus 1y agoCorrect, you're thinking with modern-UI brain. It's just a page template and the content of the particular page is a long list of images. No javascript to do fancy stuff. Just a collection of backgrounds the dude found. Actually, this page is already "advanced" for a Geocities site, because the starry night pattern is for the left-gutter next to the site's content, and then there's an easy-on-the-eyes background behind the real content. Normal Geocities would just have one super duper beautiful and impossible-to-read-on background. (Oh, and you wouldn't /also/ do that cool background on the right side too because... "who knows how to figure out a floating left side border image?! that's basically impossible.") ;)
