The design I am working to has different backgrounds for alternate columns. Is it possible to set up different tiling backgrounds for each column,
e.g.
column:nth-child(n+1) {background:url(tile1.gif) repeat-x; }
Or do I have to fall back on a huge background image that tiles every two columns?
Unfortunately you cannot change the color of the columns:
It is not possible to set properties/values on column boxes. For example, the background of a certain column box cannot be set and a column box has no concept of padding, margin or borders.
