Forum Design Challenge
Throwing this out there to everyone but I think falldown will jump on it right away.
There are two images I would like replaced with a design I am thinking of.
The first is this image
(http://vsido.org/Themes/backnblack202/images/off.gif)
right click, view image and download for specs
That image is next to every forum that does not have a new post
I would like that be a vsido image that is more clear with the black swirl and possibly VSIDO within it too, but that is not a necessity
The second image is this one
(http://vsido.org/Themes/backnblack202/images/on.gif)
right click, view image and download for specs
I would like this to be the same color as the above one but with a Debian Red or Green or White Swirl... any one of these would work
Then there are these that need to be created in correspondence with those. They are markers at the bottom of the Forum page that shows what they mean.

Who is up for this challenge?
I sure wish I was artistically inclined! Falldown, get to work!!! Your stuff so far has been exemplary!!! ;D
Well here is one thought..

and
(http://s14.postimage.org/boj0dsikd/image.png) (http://postimage.org/) on
Keeping with the debian swirl.

and
(http://s2.postimage.org/45ws07bx1/new_none.png) (http://postimage.org/) new_none
Going to test them now falldown.
Added the smaller ones also.
It's hard to put detail into such a small image.. The VSIDO just didn't work.
The originals were in gif, I think I can just rename these to gif and they should be fine
Will test and see
Yeah I just saved them as png.
Seemed senseless to save a non animated image as a gif. ???
They are loaded...
Refresh from the Main screen to see them...
I like them. What does everybody else think?
:D
Hate to say it, but We have the coolest looking forum in the interwebz.
:D
Can you male the red one blue like the font here?
I can do that.

+1 :)
Agreed Looks pretty good.
The forum/community is IMO the best looking one I've seen on the web!!!
I switched the marble background to a black matte background. I think this contrasts much better with the grays and blues.
Thoughts?
Looks good...
but I haven't seen anything about this forum that doesn't. :)
Is the original background accessible VastOne?
I was thinking that I could tweak it.
Sure is falldown
It is attached
Thanks jst_joe.. Just as an fyi, that marble original one does strange things when I scroll ... it warbles or scrunches ..
Reminds me of some trips I took in my younger days ... with the help of some shrooms. :o :o
VastOne Is there an option in the forum setup to make the background stationary.. where only the forum text boxes scroll?
If that makes sense.?.
It makes sense. As far as I can tell or locate as if yet, there is nothing like that.
Well.. the black looks good.
I am curious.. does the background tile the image or stretch?
If it tiles the image then I think this would look good..

It tiles. I have changed it to a gif and loaded it but no amount of refreshes seems to have an effect.
It was worth a try. Thanks for giving it a shot VastOne.
I have zero experience at webpage design.
Perhaps that is something I should try.. falldown's blog!! :D
I have been crash coursing it all day today to build a simple Download page
I am slowly getting there.
BTW, you know you can reach me at any time in IRC at #VSIDO on freenode

@VastOne
I didn't want to keep HiJacking merelyjim's introduction so I posted this here.
I think this one turned out better.
