Koby Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 I noticed that with the skin the custom backgrounds wasn't working properly. Instead of switching out the background behind your information in your profile it simply seemed to alter the borders in the background to the far sides of the screen. Rather than simply alter it and because custom backgrounds and such tend to be horrid on modified skins and such, I've replaced the custom backgrounds with Cover Photos. This is similar to what Facebook offers for those of you that happen to use Social Networking. For an example check out Renzourin's profile: http://forums.kametsu.com/index.php?/user/1291-renzourin/ Please let me know what you think. Do you prefer it this way? etc...

lolrawr Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Yes I like this. Background images are just... Too much in the background. I like header images much better. What's the optimal resolution for uploads? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 Yes I like this. Background images are just... Too much in the background. I like header images much better. What's the optimal resolution for uploads?The images shrink/expand depending on your viewing resolution. Check it out by adjusting the width of your browser on your screen. Honestly can't say what would be the idea resolution. I'd say an image with around/minimum 500 pixels in height would be your best option and the width be more than that. For comparisons sake; Renzourins Cover Photo is: 1,023px x 614px Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

†Emotional Outlet Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 It's really big! Like it's a lot to scroll by to get to the information, haha. It's pretty cool, though, I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the horizontal height varies on how much you want it to be. So one should make it big enough for the big boys and small enough for the 4:3 guys.

Â It's pretty cool, though, I like it.Yeah, I'll see if I can remove some of the stuff that doesn't really need to be on the profile page such as the redundant username bar and the crap about the IRC channel, etc. I might also reduce the height of the cover photos slightly.

J-Lord Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 I like it, much better than having the background. I found the backgroud always to much in the background but this stands out more and that I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmingllama Posted April 16, 2013 Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 I like it, now you can actually see the image. You might want to change the text when you are setting it from Background to Cover Photo or something. Anyways, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinara Uzumaki Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Many sites are offering cover photos now with Google+ joining the mix, but it's nice to see that we have it here as well. It gives a bit more character to the respective person. It's a good addition to the profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pav Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 To be honest I prefer how it use to be but it doesn't bother me. It would be cool to have something in the background and a header image but at the end of the day I do like the update its think its pretty cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
