This really belongs in the Board Updates thread, but I decided it was cool enough to warrent it's own thread. As some of you may have noticed by now, there has been some changes to the apperance of the Star Trek, Star Wars, Farscape, and Red Dwarf boards! You'll notice new banners and backgrounds for each of them! I went the extra step, and customized the background for each board to match it's topic. They all still have the same background, but with a layer of images over top, with the original background bleeding though. Also I changed the banners as the old ones were designed for Temporal Reality's grey theme, I changed them to better match TR's blue theme, and to make them a little bit smaller so the background would be more noticable. They each have the same shape, to give TR some more consistancy, but the interior is al different, each matching it's board! The Buffy and Anime board will be next, but I need a break, it took hours to do that. Please leave your thoughts and feedback here in this thread.

Excellent job Myke! real good work on the background images and banners. i am assuming on the backgrounds you took the regular background....and added images on top and made them partially transparent to give them the light see thru look? btw....DO YOU EVER ACTUALLY SLEEP...or do you spend all hours of the day working on TR...LOL

I already mentioned it in a couple of threads that I think those new backgrounds LOOK FANTASTIC!! And I love the way the banners look now - so much nicer - and those backgrounds just look FANTASTIC. LOL Sorry, they are just so great, I had to repeat myself.

Thanks everyone!! And yes Wolf, youre right. I took the current 1023 x 786 background, and added the 800 x 600 backgrounds over top it in the top left hand corner, so that both resolutions could see it well. I made it between 50 and 60 % opacity (transparency) and used a weak transparency brush on the borders to give it that blending effect. And as for sleep, for some reason I've been lazy this summer. Normally I'm out always doing something each day, but for some reason I can't find much to do this summer besides swim, so as long as I'm sitting home I might as well do something productive.

Well just go through the Star Trek, Star Wars, Farscape, and Red Dwarf boards, and you'll see what I'm talking about!

The Buffy The Vampire Slayer Board has been recustomized, but the background may change, I'm not as happy with it as I am the others. All that is left is the Anime forum.
