To me, these are amazing in the same way fingernails on chalkboard are amazing. Every time someone nicked the chalkboard with their fingernail in school, I felt as if someone was ripping my spine out. And every time I clicked one of those circles, I felt like someone was ripping my eyes out.

#32Calm down, guys. As stated on her site, these are purely experimental. This page has also been up for a few years at this point.

#33Real tartan doesn't have diagonal lines like that. Sorry :)

#34Only IE+? No doubt because IE is so ridiculous behind the other browsers in HTML5 support. I can't believe even Firefox 3.6 which was released in like 2010 had proper support for CSS3 that only IE10 has now, from all the IE versions.

#35"amazing"? These look terrible and would make any website look like a throwback from Geocities. Neat that it's done with CSS3, not practical for any real purpose though.
All it'd take to make most of these usable is finessing the colors a bit so they don't jump off the page like they do here. It's definitely possible to make the patterns more subtle while retaining the shape effects. I viewed the page as a nifty demonstration of CSS-based patterns. Actually implementing the appropriate colors with these is left as an exercise for the reader.
According to my laptop's cooling fan color palette is the least of the issues here. I'm pretty sure that roasting your users' CPUs to render a background texture is considered poor form.

I agree that they look terrible. It felt like I was thrown back to Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 tiled backgrounds. Trippy.

What? I think you might have some issues there. These render instantly on my phone and on my Nexus tablet.

#38A lot of these look great :-) If only they worked in IE 7, 8 and 9 they could be used in real projects...
I guess gmail isn't a "real project" then...

I acknowledge the performance issues. I was responding, however, to a comment about what these make the site look like.
