Code:
html {
background: url("../Images/bg_paper1.jpg") no-repeat center center;
background-size: cover;
height: 100vh;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
body {
/* This declaration shouldn't be neccesary except by PocketBook */
background-color: transparent;
}
The plugin BibiReader for Sigil, also can show background images with zero bleed. Here you can watch some screenshots (one and two pages view), with a background image that mimics an old paper (as I said, also is possible to get the same result with Readily, Lithium and PocketBook):

But one thing is that it is possible to include a background image (with many limitations) and another thing is that it is a good idea. I would never include such kind of images. |
Yes, but Ruben:
You're talking browser- or desktop-software based readers. I'm talking DEVICES. (Kindles, Fires, Nooks, Kobos, and the like.) And as far as I know...full-bleed really isn't supported on the major (or minor) devices.
I'm not arguing that some effects are lovely--they are. But for the poster's purposes, I tend to assume that s/he is trying to use the coding for commercial purposes.
