How do you get the background to start tiling from the right rather than the left (the default)? I suppose it has something to do with CSS…

[] represents a whole tile. [or] represents a portion of a tile cut off because the window wasn’t wide enough.

**Default:**

[][][][][  
[][][][][  
[][][][][  
[][][][][

**What I want:**

][][][][]  
][][][][]  
][][][][]  
][][][][]
