TwitchTV Background Template

osquars

@biotest : I have already done that but the images is so big. I have 2560x2560 so the backgroundcolor would not come up. By doing that the site takes so long to load some time. Just want it to be easy to load the page. But if we can not fix the background color I have to live with my big pic.

@biotest you can se it here twitch.tv/osquars

biotest

will have to wait until twitch adds the background colour feature :(

i wouldnt have thought it would be to hard for them to add it to twitch settings as its already setup on justin.

osquars

Ya i hope so. :) 

until then i will try optimize my page in all other parts for now. :)

@osquars as of right now there is no way to change the base background color of a channel, it's kind of annoying.

biotest

@fire do you know if twitch will be adding the justin design options to twitch? alot of posts in these forum are about not being able to do something in the twitch design section like setting the background colour or not have the clear button for the header image.

Fire

@biotest I'm pretty sure they'll be added soon, but there are likely higher priority things on the books

osquars

@Fire ok thanks for the info.

is this template outdated? i just tryed to make a bg after it and it doesn't work. the player and chat area is bigger in reality than it is in the template.

@darkhan90 Do you use any of the browser addons that change the sites look?

The background is not stationnary at all when testing on my stream.

And I can't find the "background-attachment" property anywhere in the style. However, when I manually add it ("background-attachment: fixed;") the background is stationnary.

Are you going to change it or not ?

To be honest, I really wished there was a way to keep the background stationary like how it was in the old format. This new format is really annoying. Just my opinion, tis all.

How do i get the color to continue down the page on the sides? I don't want it to tile and have multiple backgrounds down the page... I wish I could get the background to scroll down with the page

Fire

@wooosty you can't change the background color at this time. You'll need to make an extra long background to compensate

So all of the black area is the space that is gonna show?

Make sure that you're uploading in one of the supported formats, and not raw files.

There is no background "maker" only a template which you can use to make a background. Here is the photoshop document that @bgeorge linked in the original post.
