Steps to create a fixed pattern background image with a customizable background color based on the content within a div element

I am seeking guidance on how to create a single page application using Angular that features a fixed background image (such as a white pattern) in the BODY tag. However, I would like the ability to change the color behind this image depending on the content within a DIV. For example, when scrolling further down, the color could transition from blue to red.

Is there a CSS expert who can assist me with implementing this dynamic background effect? Would working with z-index or parallax be part of the solution?

Answer №1

Check out this Angular application that showcases setting a static transparent background-image with an inset background-color defined in the HTML using "ng-style". The color is a user-defined variable through input. Your implementation might vary, but this should give you an understanding!

var myApp = angular.module('app', []);
body {
  background-image: url(https://www2.cs.arizona.edu/icon/docs/ipd234/pattern.gif);
}
<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/angular.js/1.7.5/angular.min.js"></script>
<body ng-app="app" ng-style="{'background-color': colorName}">

<input type="text" ng-model="colorName" placeholder="enter a color name e.g. green">
</body>

Answer №2

It appears that you are looking to apply a transparent color overlay on top of a background image. This effect can be achieved by utilizing psuedo elements. You can use the after selector to add the desired overlay over your container element: 

.container {
    background-image: url(...);
}

.container:after {
    z-index: 1;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    right: 0;
    bottom: 0;
    background-color: rgba(255,0,0,.8);  // adjust transparency level here 
}

<h1>Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.</h1>
</div>

<div><h1>It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
</h1>
</div>

<div class="black">
<h1>Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia, looked up one of the more obscure Latin words, consectetur, from a Lorem Ipsum passage, and going through the cites of the word in classical literature, discovered the undoubtable source. Lorem Ipsum comes from sections 1.10.32 and 1.10.33 of "de Finibus Bonorum et Malorum" (The Extremes of Good and Evil) by Cicero, written in 45 BC. This book is a treatise on the theory of ethics, very popular during the Renaissance. The first line of Lorem Ipsum, "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet..", comes from a line in section 1.10.32.

Thank you for your response, however, this solution does not align with the intended functionality of my website.

I want the option to have a DIV with a blue background color and another one with a red background color.

I have attempted a solution, but I am facing difficulties when using absolute positioning for the background image.

Furthermore, there is an issue with the image being displayed in front...

Appreciate your help!

Answer №4

Hey everyone, I wanted to share the solution I discovered.

To start off, I created a blank div where I placed my repeat image. Next, I added another empty div with the default background color and the height that was calculated.

<body>
  <div class="bg-img"></div>
  <div class="bg-color" [ngStyle]="{height:calcHeight}"></div>
  ...

.bg-img{
  background: url(/assets/img/svg/back.svg);
  position: fixed;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  z-index: -1;
}

.bg-color{
  position: absolute;
  background-color: #d3d3d3;
  width: 100%;
  z-index: -3;
}

Afterwards, I was able to use different colors for subsequent divs by adjusting the z-index and changing the colors.

If anyone would like to see the complete code, feel free to message me privately and I'll be happy to share the website link.
