Hey there.

Wondering if anyone has any good examples of sites that use full screen backgrounds. I'm wondering what approaches are available.

I assume I have a few options, image stretched fully & static. Image fading out at the bottom, and image tile etc...

Do you think that type of thing is viable at the moment, or do you guys think images just look sucky when stretched in browsers these days?

Here's two sites I've found that take different approaches:

vam . ac . uk/vastatic/microsites/1376_touch_me

noonebelongsheremorethanyou (dot) com

Spotted anything else useful to look at?
