STEP 2: If you wish, change the colours and other parameters at the start of the script. In addition to a psychodelic 1970s look, this script can produce a nice tartan effect if you select appropriate colours.
THAT'S IT When your page loads, the background of your page will be transmogrified into a cool 1970s groovy background. This effect is something you would expect from a flash file yet this simple javascript does a smoozy job, man!
