Community Wallpaper 2011
Monday, November 8, 2010 by Island Dog | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
A tradition of sorts that we have here at WinCustomize is a Community “graffiti” Wallpaper that WC members put their tags on. One of our last ones is posted below. This is a perfect time to start another one (thanks to Lantec for the reminder), and so we shall! This is a great way to get some community interaction going, and lets make this the best so far!
We will set the release date for sometime in mid-January. Tags should be submitted by December 31st.
Things we need:
- Your tags should be posted to this thread only. They need to be a .PNG image with a transparent background. Tags should be a minimum of 250px, larger ones can be resized. Your tags should be your username or graphic representing yourself with name (no anime or things like that). Everyone is free to participate, and encouraged to do so!
- A new wallpaper base image. We have traditionally used the brick wall image, but I’d like to go in a somewhat new direction and I’m looking for suggestions. Please feel free to post wall images here. Wallpaper should have a minimum of 1920 widescreen resolution. The chosen image will have the honor of uploading the image to the wallpaper gallery!

Goals:
- Represent community members
- Represent the community "spirit"
- Represent skinning
So it should be:
- Easy to read all the tags
- Look "good"
- Skinning related
I think #1 fits that best.

Agreed ( #1 is good.....but it ain't a wall.....just sayin' )

Never had a tag so here is my humble submission.

#1 is ok... but the black and gray provide too much contrast with the "screen"...I think they need to be lightened and the 'screen' toned down as well. Just mho.
I like DaveBax's too.

Pretty cool Junior. They may ask you to lose the background though.

Ok ... one more shot.
Hey Frankief. I think I got it.
This first one shows the full URL.
This second one shows the bottom line plus the URL in brackets at the far right of the top line deleted.
This last one shows the left part of the top line deleted starting between the two brackets separating the words gif and IMG.
The last line remaining is the image.

I like DaveBax's too.
This was the image I was going off of:
I see what you mean about the screen though. I can darken it a bit if that would be better.

I tried it Ricks way but I thought I could delete it and I can't so sorry for putting it here twice.

If we can use our avatars, here's mine (I don't know how to make text without a background)...

I like # 1 myself.
I was holding off on the dream until the wall was picked but now I'm considering going with a hybrid dream so it may not matter as much about which background is used since it can be changed easily.
I could also include all of the backgrounds and give the user the ability to choose which ever one they want.
Any opinions? Would you like the ability to change the background on the dream?

You can delete an image once posted by going into edit on the post click image press delete(on keyboard) then save edits.

Reply #359 Wednesday, December 29, 2010 4:15 AM
Can but I find then get message posted because it cannot be found so I like to delete it on post then Imageshack.

Easy. Put your background on a separate layer under the text. Then when you're ready simply turn off that layer and poof ... no background.
