By the way, I found this for making the background image animate <https://codepen.io/CameronFitzwilliam/full/pamobO/>. If you want the gold to "shine" that might be a solution. My experience with "gold color" is that it typically appears too static, missing out on the very goldy appearance one wants. Especially so for smaller areas.
To make an image appropriate for infinite spinning, the linked solution has used this image <https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/s.cdpn.io/769286/clouds.jpg>, i.e a mirrored image. Clever. <:-) On Tuesday, November 9, 2021 at 9:50:09 AM UTC+1 Mat wrote: > I didn't look at Charlies solution but I don't get any problem putting the > styleblock I proposed in a dedicated stylesheet tiddler, and then applying > e.g like so: > > asdf @@.jack > !GOLD > @@asdf > > !
