I'm kind of fond of the current one, but nobody else seems to like it. Must be just my poor taste.  So what background would you prefer. A plain color, or an image? Let me know, or provide a link and i will give it a test run. Cheers... T. Wedd |

I think a plain colour would be fitting for the board. Maybe a dark gray or just plain black.

I'd prefer a plain colour... if you were planning on using a picture then I'd rather you keep the current BG, as I'm kinda getting used to it.

I gave several images a trial run today, and quite simply they didn't look real good. If i use a full screen image, the pages take forever to load on 56k. Plain black looks ok, but dark grey clashes with the grey pages. I'm quite fond of the current R background, but alot of people don't like it a great deal. What to do, what to do  |

What about increasing the size of the board in area so that we still see the background but less of it?

How about a swirly animated .gif? One that gives ya a headache? That'll help bring intelligent members!
Either plain black or the current background will be my vote... I vote the current over something else, unless you want scrolling porn. That'd be cool.

Shit, well a quick piece of Javascript and the board is wider, but i don't like the look of it.
Also to make the post area larger, it means rebuilding every skin to suit. Damn it, i will try a bg table instead.
Grrr...The things i do for you people. ;D

We feel the love T... was that why some of my text was getting fucked up for the past 10 minutes? Yes it was just my uber coding abilities ripping through the board testing some table stretching. I just wanted to test what you said about making the display pages wider to eliminate some of the background. |

No i switched it back, i just trialed it to the main page and welcomebg table to see how it looked.
For me to fully change all widths, i would have to modify all skins, .css sheets and re host them.
So simply put, the board is back to it's normal dimensions.

Give me black. It imparts a sense of infinite depth, something appropriate for a living knowledge repository.

Something with a light, cream-coloured background would be cool.

Light? Cream?
That would not suit Rorta at all.

I have to re-make all the style sheets for the skins as the background image is imbedded in the style sheet codes. So, i will do light and dark versions available across the whole board including the main page. The current skins were just a quick job, and because i was having trouble with the cell highlight code i dropped the selection of skins on the main page. I have some plans for the skins and have them half way finished, but you will like the end result. Signed... T. Wedd |
