Title: New header
Post by: Papaw on May 12, 2011, 12:58:31 AM
With a lot of help, I changed the header on the forum. What do members think of it?

It came as a bit of a surprise. I didn't think I had noticed it before and I wondered for a bit if I was on the right site.

Very nice!

To be honest, I'm not crazy about it...

The colours clash with the board "theme" and the size of the image seems to be static; that is, it doesn't match the resolution I have my monitor set to. Isn't there a way to ensure the size is dynamic?

I agree with the clashing, I want to change the theme, trying to get back to something similar to the old forum. I am no computer guru, so it will take me some time to tweak things.
I was just so happy to be able to make that header almost on my own, that I put it up there.
As for static and dynamic, I don't know anything about that, to be honest.

Did you yell "Me do! Me do!" like my buddy's 2.5yo daughter when she wants to do something all by herself? LOL!

Yeah, I kinda "stretched" the GIF to make it fit. Once we decide on the final content, I can redo the banner properly & it will be easier to read...

The one with the Alligator balances out better. Libgradwell yours is nice but the white background on the right side is really bright on my Mac.

The current one is a bit "blah"

I like the others with a bit of colour in them.
