I've currently got 2 design styles though, a sign like the one of the teaser page and a poster style, which will require more effort to get looking good. i'm still deceiding.

Goosestaf 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2005 rite, hit a slight snag in it seems. . . . basicly. . . . what i want is to have the webpage content's background have a a glow with transparency, using an alpha channel, and the only way to do this is to use a PNG file.. . . . which isn't a problem. . . . the problem is IE is a big load of steaming s**t and doesn't support PNG Alpha transaprency. I've experimented and tried using alternatives to the fadding transparency but they don't look as good. But, i did read that Internet Explorer 7 is going to be released in the summer, which will have proper PNG support. This would give me a while to create my website fully, but on the other hand, only firefox and IE7 viewers wud be suported . . . . possibly other browsers but i don't currently have them installed so i'm not sure. . . . . . mmmmmmmmmm choices choices . . . . . . anyways. . . below are 2 screenshots of the WIP background graphics. They are not complete, not sliced up and do not represent the final quality of the website. The Wonderous IE The Firefox (how the image SHOULD be displayed comment on your opinions on my plans . . . . . do u think i should create the site for the users of the latest browsers and leave old IE users with crappy looking images?

Goosestaf 0 Report post Posted June 6, 2005 Well, i thought of doing that in a number of ways and spent a long while last night experimenting. The problem is that the page will be centered. And this means that it will move for differernt screen resolutions, meaning i could create a perefctly fitting brick outline to fit for one resolution but with another it won't line up and will look out of place. I also tried creating an outline of slightly darkened brick colour to give the impression of a shadow/glow, but it didnt look very good on the background. I also was considering creating a a black area of the background image, like a broken wall or spray paint or soemthing, just again, the problem is in differernt screen sizes it might not align so well.On Other news, I've deceided to make my Blog Public.Heartless Creations BlogThe Blog is Powered by WordpressFalling dreams theme by Razvan TeodorescuLayout, graphics and code changes by Ryan D-C (HC) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Goosestaf 0 Report post Posted June 7, 2005 Oh so, change the content background images to fit with the background, depending on the browser?could you tell me some more on this, or point me to a site which explains it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
