Dark0ne Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I've said it a few times now; the new Nexus site design is fixed width and it isn't going to change. Sorry, but that's how it is. This thread isn't about that, however, it's about making that space for people with higher resolutions at least some what interesting. I've been dabbling with a few "skins" for the sides and I've put one example up on the test site for you all to see. Some people have been arguing the new designs don't immediately make you aware they're a site for a specific game (pray tell, how did the last design!? hah), hopefully these skins would leave you in no doubt. What do you think? Are you going to brick yourself in the comments when you implement this? Think you can do better? Then come up with something and upload it here and I'll write in some code for you to check out how it looks. I haven't done a skin for the other sites yet, but wanted to gauge whether you thought this would improve or worsen the current design. Personally, I like it. *dons his tin-foil hat once more* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McclaudEagle Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I think it looks great. Definitely gives the site a more unique feeling to it. One for each site would look pretty good :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDStudios Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Great idea, I might have a pop at it.Are there any specific sizes and file sizes we have to be aware of? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 As small as possible file size (JPG is best for this), and stick to the background width's in the image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJJonesUK Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 The 'skin' on the sides is definitely an improvement. It would be great to see them for all the sites. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pronam Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 (edited) Definitely an improvement! I was looking for ways to change the backgroundvia a ff plugin, but this does the trick already :P.*combines 2 evils for a bad result* Edited August 25, 2011 by Pronam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffa1mf Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Skins look really good on the test site - and will probably settle down those who need a picture to figure out what site they are on. Pronam's example is pretty good looking - nice job! Now all I need to find is the cheese and crackers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark0ne Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 *combines 2 evils for a bad result* Skyrim is getting its own Nexus site, so I'd get my arse ripped to shreds if I used that! Plus it's got to be subtle, not in-yo-face blue! :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
