Thread: User Backgrounds

  1. #1

    Default User Backgrounds

    Here is a list of the User Backgrounds used on this site and who they are for.

    Site Staff backgrounds

    Admin


    Game Designer



    Store Owners



    Normal users
    World War One Players

    British Players


    French Players


    USA Players


    German Players


    World War Two Players

    US Players


    British Players


    German Players


    Japanese Players



    If you do not have a User Background behind your avatar, you need to fill in the last set of details in your Edit Profile options, Side and War. This will automatically add the background for the country and war you selected.

    These are great!

    Col, the next time you have nothing to do (as if THAT will ever happen; you are always busy doing something to improve this site), maybe you could slowly expand the choices of background available to the WWI players with the roundel of the country of their choice.

    If you have time

    I noticed while reading some prior posts that some of the users backgrounds are just appearing black with no background picture. Is this something on my end (flush my cache) or is it because the users account was converted to a newer background and the threads in which they have posted haven't been updated yet. Just Wondering

    Cheers

    Edit: Hmmm... just like how mine is now after posting this.
    I don't see my background (Should be the WWII - American) currently it looks like my avatar is sitting on a patch of tarmac.

    No problem and thanks for all your hard work in making this such a great WoW site. Simply Brilliant as the English would say

    Where can i find the artwork that you are using for Admin? ive looked around a couple of places and have yet to find a good clean image!

  12. #12

    Default

    Here on the site, that background is for admin use only... If you meant for use off the site, I'm not sure you will find a very clean image of it. The game mat artwork is one of the few images that Nexus is protective of. I got a small clean image for use on the site if I protected it. Sorry, that's not much help 8(

    I gotta say... this is one of the prettiest websites I've ever seen. The background colors, the title images... it's all just really nice and classy.

    "Soaring" on some pages, and "Blue" on others. The plane images on the page headers are just beautiful, by the way!

    Default

    The planes in the logo for Soaring are the artwork from the different boxed sets of Wings of War, by Auletta. Or very own Seiseki put together the logo using those images and some clouds he came up with. I agree, they both did an excellent job!

    The User Backgrounds are now automated! As you change the Country and War options in your profile settings, the background will change accordingly.

    The site looks really slick.
    How did you go about making these images available? If it's within my reach, I wouldn't mind seeing if I could do some for some of the other nations from WoW1. I'll warn you my reach is not far however. :P

    I haven't seen this thread for months, but now I see the option for FL background is impossible to set in My Profile. Is that right, Keith, or there is an option I can't find? I'd like to have a sky background designed for FL.

    This thread is really old and several of the backgrounds shown in the first post are no longer in use. The only people that now have different backgrounds are the Admins and our artist, Alan.

    All depends on if I can get the new artwork once it comes out.

    The WWII backgrounds did not make the "jump" when the forum software was upgraded. It requires custom coding to make those work and I did not allocate funds for the WWII bits as they were seldom used. If I can find the time, I might try digging around in the code and see if I can figure things out and add them back... but it's not a priority at this point.

    I do not manage to change my background, it's still white...
    Where do you change it exactly?

    By the way, the game Designer background is broken.

    This is a really old thread, so some things have changed. I've updated the first post to reflect this and fixed the link to the Game Designer image (thanks for pointing that out). I've also added the WWII background images back in... that is why your Japan background was not showing.

    Okay, with the help of Alan, I've added some new backgrounds for the WWII guys:

    Australia


    Italy


    Poland


    Russia




    Also, anyone that had selected a WWII background image will need to go into your settings and select it again! I changed some of the coding to make it easier to work with.
