Stripes are a great way to dress up the backgrounds of your web pages. While I don't recommend using stripes with text written right on top, by putting stripes in the background you can create a nice looking design without overwhelming the text. But while horizontal and vertical stripes can be very easy to create, diagonal stripes are trickier. But Stripemania is here to help. You can adjust the background color, add as many stripes as you wish in different colors, change the width of the stripes and the spaces between them, and even add gradients to your stripes. All to create interesting effects in your stripe patterns. I created this candy-cane stripe in about 3 minutes with Stripemania.
