Look Inside



Definitely having a fullscreen background image will make your webpage looks more attractive and cool, rather than a plain background. We can use CSS to do the work, why bother of using plugins? Well you’re right, but with help from jQuery plugins, we could add even more features on our background, for instance, auto re-sizes to fill the browser, apply grid texture, create background slideshow, add background video, etc. In the following, I have compiled a list of 12 fullscreen background jQuery plugins.
