Well these was a thing back then on the earlier iphones where everyone wanted to recreate real design.

@@roguealien666 It can probably be done without the extra 'weight' as you put it. Most websites have so many extra connections going on due to ads, tracking, etc... remove most of that, if not all of it; and the skeumorphism can probably continue without issue.

what a magical video. love your content

[@aqua-bery]

Another way to make the diagonally striped pattern scroll is by: making a div the height of the screen, then you give it a repeating-linear gradient background thats rotated 45deg and repeats two lines of different colors, then you make it slightly wider than the screen itself (like 110vw), before making an animation, you need to take note of the total with of your gradient. If some color start at 0px ends at 20px, then another starts at 21px and ends at 40px, the amount your div will scroll is gonna be 55px. Im not exactly sure why, but this way it looks perfect. Im guessing its for some trigonometry reason or something. next you make an animation to scroll the div by 55px to one side and voilla. you need to make the animation linear, infinite and you can choose the speed by setting some lenght.

[@Norsilca]

Wait, what's the point of using four stars cut off on every edge? It repeats anyway so why not just put one star in the middle?

[@duon44]

It repeats it in a diamond pattern this way, if you put it in the middle and use regular tiling they would repeat in a square pattern

[@Norsilca]

​@@duon44 Ohh, I missed that this is four halves = two stars, not one star. You could still just stick two whole stars in the middle, with one below and to the right of the other, instead of cutting them in half.

[@NeaPlaysRBLX]

@@totallynotemma ah thanks ! I figured it was canva by the colours but didnt really like it as i had some bad experiences with their paywalls so thank you for suggesting an alternative for it !

[@totallynotemma]

@@NeaPlaysRBLX that's okay!! they both have their premium feature crap, but canva has a ton of free shapes, while I think figma you'd just have to draw the shape yourself (they have some svg drawing tools in the app) or you could use an icon as figma has a bunch of plugins by devs. figma is more complicated tho to export what you do as images and such tho, so be sure to look up tutorials on what you might need :) also yeah i think the weird colours are just the dark mode canva added a while back

3D artist here, I deal with a lot of repeating patterns, but I don’t do any web design. Was there any need to have the stars on the edges and do all the work to duplicate them like that?
