| − | Since it's a background image, nothing too fancy. Gaiapedia (in Monobook) uses a simple repeating background, and the Final Fantasy wiki uses a non-repeating header background image to good effect. Personally I would go with either a simple green gradient or a repeating background with semitransparent hexagons. If we go with the header route, maybe some kind of light scenery from SIGN or the Games if the quality is good enough... Well, actually if we go with a header we have a huge number of choices. Depends on what kind of look we want. My personal style is to go with the semi-ethereal look of the games title screens; a single tinted color with some other stuff going on. But that's just me. Oh, and Wookieepedia has a good look in both Monaco and Monobook. So that's three prime examples of a header background. In the meantime I'll be looking up various codes as usual.--[[User:OtakuD50|OtakuD50]] 18:45, February 8, 2010 (UTC) |

| − | :There is absolutely no way to get a hexagon to not look like the same one stamped across the image. I even used a couple different hexagons, too. This doesn't fit widescreen and it likely doesn't fit any other screen, so I'm not yet done. I'm going to try to make it loopable across the top later, but for now, I'm trying not to strangle my computer.--[[User:Falcon At|Falcon At]] 02:14, February 9, 2010 (UTC) |

| − | ::Don't worry about it, that's an awesome example as is, surprisingly close to what I had in mind. I'll test it out on Monobook in a sec once I get the right code.--[[User:OtakuD50|OtakuD50]] 02:43, February 9, 2010 (UTC) |

||
| − | :::::If we do go with the tile look, it needs to be less attention grabbing and it sould let people read the text on the left side. It could be alittle sleaker, too.--[[User:Falcon At|Falcon At]] 12:15, February 9, 2010 (UTC) |
||
| − | ::::::Agreed, but I'd rather not go with this particular tile. Like I said to the author, it makes the site look like it should be about pandas or recycling.--[[User:OtakuD50|OtakuD50]] 19:02, February 9, 2010 (UTC) |

| − | :Basicly, your flaws were two-fold: One was the obvious, the white out line. The second as the assumption that that was bad. In mine, I have a white glow so you can read it weither the background is light or dark.--[[User:Falcon At|Falcon At]] 00:58, February 10, 2010 (UTC) |
||
| − | ::Not entirely sure what you're trying to say. I've always said that my skill at image editing was subpar, which is why I've been trying to recruit those better than me for the job. Anyway, I'll upload the improved transparent logo.--[[User:OtakuD50|OtakuD50]] 02:46, February 10, 2010 (UTC) |

||
| − | :::Hot damn, forgot about this page. I'm cool with the green one if you guys want to go with it. In the mean time, Falcon said that he thought Altimit would look better in green.

| − | |||
| − | I vote green. (really like Altimit though.) It works better with the borders. (Then again the borders are green.) Are there any example after the front page format? [[User:Outlaw630|Outlaw630]] 22:52, February 11, 2010 (UTC) |

| − | http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/xx32/falcon_at/toppagemonaco.png |
||
| − | Not yo interupt you, Outlaw630, but this is a more monaco-friendly version. The "home", "talk", and "watchlist" buttons are still obscured, but I can't find away around that other than going ALTIMIT. Are the colors of those editable?--[[User:Falcon At|Falcon At]] 23:36, February 11, 2010 (UTC) |
||
| − | :Yeah, I can totally edit any and all colors associated with the Monaco skins to fit a banner / scheme. And if anyone wants to have a go at making a banner based around that green ALTIMIT, please do so. In the meantime, I'm going to go ahead and change my personal CSS code to greens to test out the new banners. BTW, does everyone prefer that pale green banner? I keep saying that I prefer the dark green version of FA's banner but it seems like I'm the only one that feels that way.--[[User:OtakuD50|OtakuD50]] 00:13, February 12, 2010 (UTC) |
