Currently I'm developing a widget for a client, which has a step by step wizard style of filling using javascript. However, their widget for desktop would use 2 large backgrounds to fill up the entire screen including most large screen size resolutions. It's already throwing red flags with me as I think these may take forever to download to the user, let alone two separate requests for each background.
At the end I may have to convince the client to reconsider this design option and opt for one background only.
Just a simple question, I know that more and more people can get access to faster internet these days, but I'm just wondering in this day and age, what is the absolute maximum file size that a large background should use?
Any figure would give me an idea which I can possibly use to convince the client to change their mind.
Thanks.
