background-image

When you use a background-image to be repeated to be tiled what is the optimum size of the image?

What I wanted to do was put in some subtle 1px horizontal stripes to make your eye track horizontally more easily

I've never heard of an 'optimum image size' for background-image.

Are you referring to size in bytes or image resolution size? In either case I would think that would depend on your audience and the image itself.

Easier to just search for "tiled images' and find one that someone else has put time into.
