Parallax Effect

Question

I'd like to implement a parallax effect like one available on Start screen, tried several web solutions sites but none gives a real smooth scrolling effect (need to offset a background image)

Anyone has one that works fine on Metro apps?

Answer 2

Saw it together with others XAML solutions (there's one on CodePlex also) but I need a HTML counterpart, as said, found many but none satisfied me in terms of scrolling smootness.

Answer 5

hmm... would love to get this working too. Did you use css transitions or change the css yourself directly?
