Hey friends,
since I saw this [post from Angus](https://meta.discourse.org/t/custom-wizard-plugin/73345/3) yesterday, I felt inspired by the idea to round up some categories by decent stylish background images.
But most of you might know the main issue: To support large screen resolutions, it’s necessary to upload even larger images. This actually sucks in many ways:
1. Long page loadings
2. Wasted transfer volume (mobile users)
3. There is no “image fits all sizes” option
Therefore, my idea is to add …
1. … a checkbox with the option to use the image as pattern
2. … a dropdown menu with 3 (or more) text style options (black/white/customized)
What do you think about this? Is it much work to implement such a feature?
Best

Not a bad idea, but I think we need to support this in regular posts properly first. Essentially the `srcset` attribute:
> **[Can I use... Support tables for HTML5, CSS3, etc](https://caniuse.com/#feat=srcset)**
>
> "Can I use" provides up-to-date browser support tables for support of front-end web technologies on desktop and mobile web browsers.
