I think for my website of disparate data, I want an effect where the content is on old frayed-edge parchment paper. However, I want it to adapt to the window size naturally, & I remembered that 12 years ago I made just such a design.
The trouble? It's a very tacky '90s-ish design both in appearance (granular, aliased gifs everywhere) and in HTML structure (layout tables two levels deep, with tabular data mixed in).
