Implementation
/* Noise overlay */
.textured {
position: relative;
}
.textured::after {
content: "";
position: absolute;
inset: 0;
background-image: url("data:image/svg+xml,...");
opacity: 0.03;
pointer-events: none;
}
Rules
- Textures should be barely perceptible. If it's distracting, it's too strong.
- Reduce opacity to 2-5% for most textures.
- Ensure text remains readable over textured backgrounds.
- Performance: use CSS patterns or tiny tileable images, not large files.
- Don't combine multiple texture types on the same surface.
