Fixed Background
I don't know, there's always been something very sexy about content that scrolls against a fixed background. Maybe it's a 3D effect? I'd like to explain how it works but so far, all I can find are a few stacks that have a "fixed background" indicator to check. Googling "Fixed Backgrounds" did reveal HTML/CSS How tos.

How can I scroll text against a fixed background image in html
RESPONSE
To scroll text against a fixed background image in HTML, you can use the CSS property background-attachment: fixed for the background image to keep it fixed while the text scrolls. Here's a simple example of how to achieve this:

Plugins and themes have been developed by many 3rd party developers that extend functionality of the system. In particular, the Stacks plugin with child stacks by YourHead Software has caused a third party industry to spring up with over a eight hundred child stacks available. Many features make sophisticated web site designs possible. I got somewhat addicted to using these stacks, also called tools and have been purchasing ones that interest me when sales occur like on Black Fridays or on holidays.
This web site is an exercise to organize my thousands RapidWeaver (RW) stacks.
I purchased Rapidweaver in a MacHeist Deal for $49 a number of years ago at version 6 after it was advertised as an iWeb replacement. I didn't do much with it. In 2016 I had some time so I upgraded to RW 7.
After Apple’s OS Catalina upgrade requiring 64 bit apps in 2019, I had to decide whether to upgrade my 32 bit Dreamweaver CS4 to a paid subscription ($30/mo) or start using RW. So, I returned to RW upgraded to version 8, and acquired some frameworks and stacks.
The number of stacks I now own is bewildering, so I'm attempting to organize everything with this web site. A large effort was constructing a Stacks Table in a spreadsheet, using Foundry's CSV Table to display and sort it. The size became unwieldy, so I created and maintain a traditional document in Apple's Pages and create a PDF called "Bill's Stack List" to use online.
There are several "on-line" books in PDF form: Rapidweaver 5 Beginners Guide ($12) from Joe Workman, a RapidWeaver 7 Manual, and several other how-to RW manuals. Each Plugin, Stack and Theme can have their own product page, manual and demo pages in their author's web site. I try to link to all the RW software I'm using. There is no manual specifically for the Stacks Plug-in, just information on the Yourhead.com website.
A website with documentation for RW third party products is the RapidWeaver Community (https://rapidweavercommunity.com/). It requires a fee to access instructional videos and forums, but has free lists of software authors and product pages for most third party products.
Vendor Documentation is located in a number of web sites, so I've attempted to consolidate links here, and include some demos I've made in this RW2 "documentation" website.
