Re: Site Graphics

Cheers for that - looks pretty nice. We are (very slowly) updating the site to a new look so it's nice to know that we may have one or two people to turn to if we need graphics!
 
Re: Site Graphics

Yeah, that looks pretty decent. I thought we'd use it temporarily as the previous one was getting a bit old. I hope you don't mind.
 
Re: Site Graphics

woah the banners looks streched, What are the proper dimensionsof the banner size so it isnt streched? ill remake it to that size or better ill make another if you have any ideas on what i should put in it.
 
Re: Site Graphics

It does in IE but looks ok in Firefox. I'll get AB to give you the dimensions if you want to have another go.
 
Re: Site Graphics

The banner gets resized according to your screen resolution. As a result, it may appear stretched/compressed. The only solution is to use a smaller banner i.e. less than 800 pixels in width.
 
Re: Site Graphics

Or you could use a simply html code to make it show the size it is. ;)

I could help you out with any html/php like problems guys. :) Just feel free to ask me. :)
 
Re: Site Graphics

We do use CSS to resize the image. Its just that the quality decreases noticeably due to it.
 
Re: Site Graphics

You shouldn't be resizing the image. There are two ways to get around it.

1. Don't resize the image and just give it a center alignment.
2. The second one, although complicated, works much better. You have to give the image a center alignment, with the background of the whole cell being the last colour of the original image - in this case, the colour on the border which is to touch with the background. ;)

If you need any more help with this, feel free to ask again. :)
 
Re: Site Graphics

We do have to resize the image because we want it to occupy the width of the screen regardless of the resolution. I am aware of what you are saying and its not complicated at all but we need a banner less than 800 pixels in width to make it work on all resolutions above 800x600 without being resized.
 
Re: Site Graphics

You fail to understand what I am saying. I am fully aware of the solution to the problem we are facing.
 
Re: Site Graphics

You are failing what I am trying to say here. Example of what I'm trying to say here. Lets assume that the image is 1000*100 or even 800*100,

<div bgcolor=#ffffff><img width=800px src=www.simplycricket.net/banner.jpg align=center></img></div>

Just replace ffffff with the image colour and you're good to go. :). Now at any screen resolution(except those with width below the width of the pic), will see the image as centered, with the same color filled on the outsides, and that WOULDNT spoil the image, since you wouldn't have to resize it.
 
Re: Site Graphics

I am not as clueless as you think. Do you seriously think I fail to understand something as simple as that? I know more than enough of HTML, CSS of PHP to be able to solve any problems that we encounter at the site.
I said we need a banner less than 800 pixels in width because we want it to work without a horizontal scroll bar appearing in 800x600(some people still use it). I am aware that the current banner can be easily cropped to less than 800 pixels but this banner is only being used temporarily.

Now you're taking it too far. I never questioned your abilities, nor did I ever say I know more. I was just suggesting, since we all are humans, it happens with all of us and we sometimes forget simple things. That's the reason why I was suggesting that thing. I never meant to flame, blame, or do anything like that. There was no need to take this personal mate. :). I just wasn't able to understand that why are you NOT doing this, even though I knew that you must be knowing it. Then I thought that you might have forgotten it, and I just posted a simple thing. Thats it.

I was just trying to help, thats all!
