Tile background images?

I would like to repeat background images, so I don't have to make a lot of images for every orientation on the iPad.

Is it possible to do this in Titanium? If not, do anyone have any suggestions on how to repeat background-patterns?

I believe only TableViews currently support background image tiling in Titanium.

In Objective-C you can achieve this easily with one line of code:

view.backgroundColor = [UIColor colorWithPatternImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"tiles.png"]];

It should be pretty simple to add this functionality to all views in Titanium, maybe by adding a new property along the lines of {backgroundImageTiled: true}. I suggest you check if maybe there's a ticket already created for this or create it here.

Need that too!

The only workaround I've found, is to dynamically generate views, which is pretty slow.

You could add a webview to your window and the html content of the webview would just be some html/css to tile your background. Just make sure you add your UI components to the window after the webview. It's not elegant at all, but it works.
