Using Stripe Generator 2.0 one can create neat and quick striped background. As website says, its ultimate tool for Web 2.0 designers, believe me they are right!

You can create any kind of background with different colors, background style and strip orientation in few seconds.

Here is the procedure:

1. Play with sliders and color pickers, until you obtain a super-cool stripe tile.
2. Press “Download” to save your creation.
3. Edit your css adding this line to the element you want to stripe: background-image: url(”image path”);
If you want to only repeat horizontally your tile (as in the case of tiles with gradient), you must add this line too: background-repeat: repeat-x; Unleash your personal style, experiment and download the tile. You can use it directly in your css file or as pattern in Photoshop!

So you want to transfer files from one folder to another using Windows Explorer and you would know the limitations and pain of moving to and fro in the same window. Other alternative we choose is opening two Explorer Windows and then perform the transfer.

There is another alternative to this issue, a freeware FolderBox. It displays additional folders in the lower part of Explorer, which enables you to display the contents of two folders at once. This makes file transfer really easy and breeze. Also, you can add up to 5 tabs on this window with each tag specifying unique folder location. So, in single explorer window you can transfer files to 5 different locations without flipping the window around.

You can download this software here (scroll down link for FolderBox)
