I have a website (g-floors.eu) and I want to make the background (in css I have defined a bg-image for the content) also responsive. Unfortunately I really don't have any idea on how to do this except for one thing that I can think of but it's quite a workaround. Creating multiple images and then using css screen size to change the images but I wanna know if there is a more practical way in order to achieve this.
Basically what I wanna achieve is that the image (with the watermark 'G') automatically resizes without displaying less of the image. If it's possible of course
link: g-floors.eu
Code I have so far (content part)
#content {
background-image: url('../images/bg.png');
background-repeat: no-repeat;
position: relative;
width: 85%;
height: 610px;
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
}
Here's how to create responsive background images with CSS: Use the background-size property to encompass the viewport. Give this property a cover value that will tell a browser to scale the background image's heights and width so that they always remain equal to or greater than the height/width of the device viewport.
Use background-size property to cover the entire viewport The CSS background-size property can have the value of cover . The cover value tells the browser to automatically and proportionally scale the background image's width and height so that they are always equal to, or greater than, the viewport's width/height.
To make an image responsive, you need to give a new value to its width property. Then the height of the image will adjust itself automatically. The important thing to know is that you should always use relative units for the width property like percentage, rather than absolute ones like pixels.
If you want the same image to scale based on the size of the browser window:
background-image:url('../images/bg.png');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-size:contain;
background-position:center;
Do not set width, height, or margins.
EDIT: The previous line about not setting width, height or margin refers to OP's original question about scaling with the window size. In other use cases, you may want to set width/height/margins if necessary.
