Title: A new headline picture for ArgonathRPG.eu
Post by: ClazzyJogel on April 11, 2014, 03:18:15 pm
I have no idea how long It's been there, but perhaps It's time to change the headline to something fresher, and not only displaying GTA IV as we have so much more to offer. Especially with so many great and tallented people making signatures etc. It would be intresting to see a change for once.

I very thought the same thing, maybe the Argo flag etc.

Indeed, should update to San Andreas or GTA V since GTA IV feels so emo. :p

Sounds interesting, picture of the games with Argonath server could also be merged in the banner.

True, changing might be good sometimes.

Changing it to a single game's identity defeats the purpose of having it for a global community, which several others already mentioned here.

If you really want to add variety for all of the servers, make multiple images and slap it on an image rotator that displays a random one every time the page is loaded. That is how our old Argo Forums theme worked back in SMF 1.x.

Or, you can make a banner with multiple images of all the games where Argonath operates. I found one that Que made for the FBI long ago.

(http://i1182.photobucket.com/albums/x451/EnriquePerez58/love-1.png)

Something similar, but bigger, with more images, a good effect and a nice bright font could get a nice look.

Skyrim or Mortal Kombat. Tits, or gtfo.

I like that idea too...so long as no one forgets Vice City this time xD

You want all the GTA guys together of course. :D
(+ additional communities if you like)

We could always put together the various main characters of all the games we support and have them with some kind of backdrop.
Title: Re: A new headline picture for ArgonathRPG.eu
Post by: SugarD on April 17, 2014, 04:12:17 pm
Just remember, to edit the main theme to allow this means you'll have to use the same background color, and conform to the original header's details, as this theme specifically uses the banner as part of a background image, instead of a separate image itself.

http://www.argonathrpg.eu/Themes/Assassin/images/theme/bg.jpg <- The actual banner/background image
http://www.argonathrpg.eu/Themes/Assassin/images/theme/logo.png <- The overlaying logo

A very good and an interesting idea.
Title: Re: A new headline picture for ArgonathRPG.eu
Post by: JDC on April 17, 2014, 09:06:42 pm
Even better:

- The header is composed of the different Argonath games, with a different one showing every time the page is loaded.
- Turn this into a design contest.

What about having multiple banners that show all of Argo's supported games, but have the banners themselves rotate randomly? That way you get a constantly-changing effect while still supporting everyone. It would be a unique touch for the forum.

That would piss my eyes off, static is better in my eyes.

It would be static. It would just be a different image when the page loads again later.

Seems a bit lossy / aliased. Is it .jpg or .png? .png would be nice. Also, you may want to increase the spacing a bit (or move the letters) between the bottom of the letters and the bottom border of the background.

(My apologies, as a graphic designer I sometimes tend to get particular about these sort of things)

Other than that, it's actually quite nice, I like it. Cheers :app:

I would highly recommend uploading it into the theme's actual directory here on the forums, and linking to it from there. That will increase the forum's loading time for slower systems, since it won't be looking at external sources to grab it.

Other than that, it looks awesome guys. It is nice to see a touch of customization in our community. :)

Thanks, Captain Obvious. While working on the files and tweaking the code, we kept the images remote as they were always being replaced. Paths will be restored as and when we get it right.
