Ok guys, since Comprox is tired (re: lazy), we need that forum header at the very top there to be redesigned for the marine forum skin! We will be allowing <b>1 week</b> for all entries to be submitted for this. That means the competition will end at midnight <u>Saturday, February 15th. </u>Keep in mind that it must be done in a TSA style, and should include the text 'Trans System Authority' on it somewhere (Other text, such as Natural Selection, can be on it also). The bar is composed of 3 images, the left, the middle one that repeats as needed, and the right image. So, the middle image must be able to repeat without looking bad, it can be any width though, 1 pixel and 20 pixels, as long as it repeats nicely, it will work. Below are the image dimensions in pixels:

Width x Height:
Left Image Dimensions: 249 x 59
MIddle Image Dimensions: * x 59
Right Image Dimensions: 142 x 59

Please just post a picture of you're design (or link to one), layed overtop of the current design. (So, take a picture of these forums, and lay your design over it). So we can easily see what it looks like on the NS forums. Try and keep the image dimensions at 800x600, but we won't kill if you post a 1024x768 image or such <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> Also, there can be *no flash*! Animations may be accepted, but I don't think anyone wants a marine shooting the whole time they read a post. Please keep all submissions in this thread, and there is no limit to how many times you can enter.

The top few headers (3-5) will be selected by the moderators, and a poll will be made to choose the top one. It will then be used on our forums as the new header. The prize for this is the pride of what you have done... created something better than Comprox! Good luck!

    No 'I would but' or 'I can't because' in this thread, I will! Except I need some inspiration... Hmm...

    Lets hope this doesn't end up in a community-wide argument like the last competition did. Come on people, enter, get those brushes and berets out!

    Heres my (first) submission. I went for the downstated, dark feeling. Comments and Criticisms welcome.

    Please. I would love to see the Artwork forum get back into its pre-release swing. Lets get something big going! And I promise that I won't vote for myself aswell. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Maybe have the one on the left fade into the middle one(of course it would have to be litterally done on the one, that is on the left).

    Little preview of my slightly animated one <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    (No, not animated yet <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->)

    I'm trying to fit the theme of the manual. If you want, and if it's possible, Comprox, I'll make a variety that are different depending on which page you're at (Like, an error will have an error box on it, another one when writing a reply...)

    I think I'll darken the center part a bit... too bright... then again it's 1:30 AM...

    <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif'><!--endemo--> Both look great!

    btw. Is there a Khaara theme in progress? <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
  • uranium_235uranium_235 Join Date: 2002-11-20 Member: 9478Banned
    'twould be nice to have different skins to choose from, but as far as I know, Comprox doesn't want one. Apparently the Kharra don't have internet <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Um, no, a kharra one is in the works.
  • uranium_235uranium_235 Join Date: 2002-11-20 Member: 9478Banned
    Hey Comp can I make different headers for different parts of the board? Or will it always be the same?

    They will always be the same.

    Yes, I need Monse to fix the code for me, I can't. And we know how much he is around <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Here's my attempt, although I think you should disqualify Fam for ruining the competition. It's not the first time he did something like this <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->
    And please note that I'm not a NS contributor, so the screen below is clearly a fake. It's all Fams fault...

    Heres my preview entry for you to judge, nothing compared to fams. but atleast its a bit of a well, atleast ive attempted. its featured on kfs's two upcoming maps (veil on the left, kara on the right) the middle is a pipeline to signify distance . . . the rest you can figure out yourself

    Thats damn nice also Ramses <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo--> My only 2 suggestions would be red isn't really a TSA color (it looks good, but just doesnt seem to fit in), and the text on the rigght doesnt work too well imo.

    Revenant, nice one also! My only suggestion is to work on the right side, the font color and style just don't seem to fit in very well.

    Presenting a preview of the NON-LOOPING TSA Communication Interface banner, the LEFT side.


    How do I get my center image to copy over and over to preview it?

    EDIT: Hmmm it seems the left side had misaligned images... fixed.

    Bah, there reuploaded fixed image.
  • uranium_235uranium_235 Join Date: 2002-11-20 Member: 9478Banned
    This is the second part, animated. I'm posting them seperately, because I don't know how to give you a preview of both together.
  • uranium_235uranium_235 Join Date: 2002-11-20 Member: 9478Banned
    And the final product.

    Thats cool! The only thing I dont like is the writing that lays login successful, I think it needs to be green, with maybe black lines through it. But then again I'm an idiot...
