Introduction
The exterior-tile hint is part of SiteGrinder Pro's page background system, incuding various kinds of background colors and tiles.

The exterior-tile hint is used as the full name of an image layer that has Photoshop's "Pattern Overlay" layer style applied.
The pattern assigned to the layer will become the full background tile of the web pages produced from this Photoshop document by SiteGrinder.
No matter how large the user makes the web browser window, this tile will fill the entire background horizontally and/or vertically depending on the tile "repeat" settings found in SiteGrinder's Pages pane.
The only visible page element beneath the exterior-tile is the exterior background color, which can show through transparent areas of the tile.
NOTE: This layer only serves to indicate the pattern that should be used as an exterior tile. The exterior-tile layer can be any size and positioned anywhere in the document. For preview purposes it is useful to assign this hint to a layer that is the full size of the Photoshop canvas, but it is not necessary.
