New Layout

Post by Freon22 »

I will be posting updates to the new layout that I am working on. Feel free to look at the link and comment, I think the time to say anything is before a lot of work is done. lol

Here is a link: http://video.smrealms.de/leftPanel.htm

I will be loading a new update layout tomorrow. I increased the speed that the left panel opens and closes. I also add a Current Sector link in the Top link bar. I will be working on some new background images starting tomorrow, I am going to take a planet images and overlay them on a star background to see how they will look. I do not want to take any copyright images so the best way is to get some open images and overlay them to what we want.

I am hoping to be able to upload some stuff soon. Yesterday I spent 3 hours trying to lay a planet over a star background. Then when I viewed it the replete of the background just totally messed it up and re-sizing made it look like crap. So I was going to make a few div tags so I could use more then one background. Then it hit me CSS3 allows you to use more then one background. So now I can replete the star background and fix a planet on top of it with a no-replete and position it anywhere I want on the page. For me this is fun I just wish I had more free time to spend on it. :D

Thats a cool site N.ator, I did download some of the images from that site. I am reworking them so they can be used in the new layout. For the next few days I am going to clean up the site so images and other things will be easier to keep track of. If you look at the layout now you will see a planet on the left side and a sun on the right top part of the page. I need to do a round crop to the planet yet and I need to blend the sunlight to the star background. So give it time it will look good! This layout is done with 3 background images and I plan to do five more planets so we will have total of 6.

I downloaded a few space station but have not worked on them yet, we need a warp, maybe a blackhole would look good as a warp sector?

Edit: Sorry I forgot to add I will be breaking apart the css file. One for the basic css stuff and one for the colors, I think if all the colors are on one css file by its self it will be easier for the players to change any colors that they want. Also Page since the backgrounds are going to be dynamic the shortcut code for the css3 background would be

Code: Select all

background: url(../images/wallpaper-66428_crop1.jpg) no-repeat left center, url(../images/wallpaper-168307_crop.jpg) no-repeat right top, url(../images/background.gif) repeat left top;
This is the current three backgrounds that are showing on the page at this time.
