I\u2019ve decided to write a more in-depth explanation for Creating Custom Pattern<\/a>, hope this will clear some clouds for those who want to create their own custom pattern.<\/p>\n

Custom patterns are all about creativity.<\/strong> Once you\u2019ve got the logic of out it, it\u2019s up to you to experiment and create your very own custom pattern and use it whenever applicable.<\/p>\n

Dissecting a sample button<\/h2>\n

Here\u2019s a simple button with Custom Pattern background. It\u2019s made up of Text<\/em>, Custom pattern<\/em> and a solid color background<\/em>. [Source attached<\/a>]. Our focus here is on the Custom Pattern.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Button:<\/p>\n

This final custom pattern (image below)<\/span> came from..<\/p>\n

\"Custom<\/p>\n

.. this raw custom pattern (image below)<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\"Custom<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s zoom this 1600% and see at how it was originally formed. Custom patterns are usually made up of one single small image (image below)<\/span> that I usually call the Repeater<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"1600%<\/p>\n

When this Repeater<\/strong> duplicate itself, it forms a pattern (image below)<\/span>. Take a look at the image below, when a single Repeater<\/strong> duplicates its surrounding it forms a small slanting pattern.<\/p>\n

\"Single<\/p>\n

And when this small pattern repeats itself, this (image below)<\/span> is what you will be in final.<\/p>\n

\"Custom<\/p>\n

Repeating the loop<\/h2>\n

In the end, its your Repeater that gives you your custom pattern. Determining a Repeater that duplicates flawlessly can be hard sometimes. Keep experimenting with it, once you\u2019ve got the flow you might just came out with some nice looking custom patterns.<\/p>\n

Experimenting<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a method how I play with custom patterns:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Create a small canvas, 9x9px, 3x3px, 8x8px, etc.<\/li>\n
  2. Draw some patterns on it.\n \"Custom <\/li>\n
  3. Save it with a simple filename, say \"cp.gif\"<\/li>\n
  4. Launch a notepad, and insert these following codes.\n

    <html>\n <body background=\"cp.gif<\/strong>\">\n <\/body>\n <\/html> <\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/li>\n

  5. Save it with as a HTML, say test-cp.html<\/li>\n
  6. Launch a browser, open test-cp.html and preview your pattern.\n \"Custom<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
