Super Stripes
This piece describes a practical web design technique for creating reusable stripe patterns using small transparent GIF images layered over different background colors in CSS. By preparing a few basic GIF files with alternating transparent and solid pixels, designers can quickly generate varied striped backgrounds across a website by simply changing the background-color property rather than creating new images for each color variation. The author suggests using this approach to visually distinguish different sections of a website while maintaining a cohesive design theme.
