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!

I did mine in Photoshop. I always keep the background on a separate layer. This way I can turn it off as I work to view the image, create the buttons and other graphics ...... helps a lot. Doesn't matter if its text or not.
Example: First screenie is with background. Notice the bottom right where it says layers. The 'eye' is on.
Second screenie is with the 'eye' or background layer turned off.

I thought I'd just throw this up there for GP. Don't have to use it.

Thought I would throw one more in here since I already had it made.

Driving to work in the dark part of the morning the other day, I noticed a graffiti covered wall with overhanging lights shining on it that looked pretty darn cool. Made me think about the ole WC wall and wonder why no one did a night themed background with a lighting effect. Or maybe I just forgot to take my meds....never mind...hey, Uvah, over here!

Now that sounds interesting, maybe a wall that looks like a roadside billboard.

D'oh....never even thought about a billboard but seems logical, Philly.

I made a brand new sig, more fitting for the wall. I would like to be included in the community wallpaper please.

Shouldn't we be facing the other side of that wall?

(I don't know how to make text without a background)...
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.
with PSP the text, when applied, is a selection. save the selection (text) to the alpha channel and save as a png. when displayed only the text will show. (not sure about photoshop text)
