Nearly all commercial websites have dropped, years ago, light text on dark background, which they originally found cheap to do (colored pixels are free compared to covering white paper with colored ink), arty, distinctive. oops!

Dark/black text on white background, high-contrast, like black ink on paper, is what people find most readable, since that's what they've been reading their entire lives.

Who knows.

When (if) you see them, then you'll know.

I have no idea if we'll change anything else.

I have 1400 pixel wide laptop, using Firefox. the image get stretched by the browser by taking the right column of pixels and duplicating. Not pleasing:

Is that Condoleezi Rice in the mauve jacket?

[Shelly]

Oy, vey!

[Kori Ellis]

You barely post in The Club. So I don't see why you care so much. But from what I understand, you'll (eventually) be able to choose another skin.

It's CrazyOne's wife.

A new forum will be created and it will be dedicated to tlongII. A new skin featuring multiple tlongII photographs will be used with it.

Your missing the point Boutons.

The picture only appears once in the top left corner of the Club. Then the browser adds the last column of pixels of the picture a certain number of times to fill out the window. This is done on purpose in the CSS stylesheet that the forum software is using to generate the forum's pages.

It is the only way to guarantee the same result on any computer using a resolution of at least 800x600 pixels (pretty safe bet). If I would have done it like you propose people with smaller screen resolution would only see parts of the pictures and annoying horizontal scroll bars would appear (not so using the current trick). Another thing is that many people using higher resolution displays don't use the whole display for their browser but look at it as a window on their desktop, and if that window is at least 800 pixels wide - again things work out nicely.

I know a lot of people who use very high screen res. (my notebook runs at 1920x1200, my production PC at home runs at 3200x1200)
and the reason behind it is to be able to use many programs at the same time with none overlaping windows and not to have one huge window covering the whole screen.

Now you decided to use it in a different way - that's an advantage of being able to setup your computer anyway you like - but the point is that you still see the picture the same way as everybody else.

and Tpark seems to be enjoying your "skin" too! :lol

I just thought the bar had a loooooooooong counter, so maybe more people could be added at a later time. :wtf

:lol

:lolTry to stretch the window of your browser and the picture stretches with it.

Actually I was thinking about the long bar idea as a mean to create more space for people, but a picture of this size (800x390) is already big as a top graphic, maybe when everybody is on at least 3 GHz processsors and has T1 lines we can increase that :)

[The sone]

new skins are sooooo nice...i love new skins.

Slomo,

you're missing the point. :)

I don't remember my browswer/CSS stretching other images so badly like that.

Why not just let the image be centered? or left-justified?

The stretching is pretty ugly, but like the Spurs' playing, it's January, so WGAF? :)

[ShoogarBear]

I'm loving the new skin

While everyone else is loving your skin?

Edit: damn, Danyo beat me to it.

[Shelly]

Mine cuts off right at Sequ

[SpursWoman]

Mine has a long bar.....I thought that was room to add more people, too. :oops :lol

[ShoogarBear]

Interesting. I'm running Opera right now, and I also have the long bar.

Speaking of which, the photos clearly aren't scaled to actual height. Slomo should redo some, if you know what I mean.

Speaking of which, the photos clearly aren't scaled to actual height. Slomo should redo some, if you know what I mean.The long bar is by design. If the browser window is wider than 800 pixels (the width of the picture) then the browser automatically adds a predefined pattern of pixel to fill out the extra space. If it didn't it would be just black colour which I found to be much worse. So if you are looking at the forum on a computer running at 800x600 pixels, you're browser window is actually less than 800 pixels wide even if it's full screen (the borders and scroll bars of the browser take up some space) - so you don't get the "long bar". If you are running at any other higher resolution expanding your browser window horizontally will at a certain point start creating the "long bar". It's part of the forums code, so it's browser independent.


As for the scale issue: :lol

[polandprzem]

yeah - mouse is the best

But he is all alone :(

[Slo spurs fan]

:wow This is great!!!

[Oscar DeLa]

I don't know what it is but something has changed, besides the color scheme, things are bigger, yet smaller...its computers...
