Cooleyvol Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 Ok, I've revamped the site (I hope its visually pleasing) at [url]www.bowlbound.net[/url] I have all the mods that I have up and linked on the site. All four leagues that I'm aware of are linked. I NEED YOUR MODS! If someone would like to write an article or two for the site, please do so and let me know. I hope it transforms into a great vault for BB and all the GD titles. Enjoy and help me make it better! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btmlltt Posted November 11, 2006 Share Posted November 11, 2006 at resolutions larger than 1024x768 the background doesn't work all that well. you might be able to improve the look on larger resolutions by fixing and centering the background image. worth experimenting with, if the web design part of this is enjoyable to you. with my browser resized, it looks good :) sorry, I'm a web developer and can't stop looking at sites with an eye toward design :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest you cut out the logo and make it a pic of it's own rather than part of the background.. then tile the background as smaller images.. saves bandwidth for both your host and the user.

Cooleyvol Posted November 12, 2006 Author Share Posted November 12, 2006 thanks for the advice, but I don't understand how anyone can see anything on the screen at higher resolutions than 1024x768. The header is now a separate picture and centers over the site in all resolutions. I haven't tiled the b/g because that would be very hard to do and keep the integrity of the shadows in tact. I've viewed it at higher resolutions and its not that bad now that the header graphic is centered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've also looked at the site in larger resolutions and now there's only the line between the b/g image when viewed that way. I really don't see the problem, but I can resize the b/g image to much larger, I guess. Honestly, I have no idea of how to 'center' a b/g image using CSS.
