Background Test Run

[The Wonderful Wachter]

We are currently in the process of finding a decent new background to the site. Partly because I'm tired of staring at stuffed jock straps. Partly because with the reboot of the UDCU, it's time for a change.

The one we're using right now is currently the top runner. I like it though I find it a tad bland. To use MRP's words:

I prefer the last as it allows for the most leeway in projecting what is thought of on the big 7 a kind of appropriate meme for a fan fic site that reimagnes a lot of the characters. . Plus the we can be heroes initiative it is from is deserving of support.

So yup. It fits though I'm not quite sure if the colors go with the board's colors and after that other background, the large blank spaces make it look a tad empty.

Anyways, we're open to suggestions. Post here and remember that it has to be wallpaper size.

I like the new background. Less busy than the previous one, and the previous one always made me feel like I had to scroll the board up or down as appropriate so that the Justice League would stop judging me with its cold, damning eyes.

From a color schematic perspective it might clash a little less if the background was predominantly green instead of blue.

I agree its okay. Sure it clashes with the green, but you can change that.

I had a similar problem like that too except I had to do some creative scrolling that way I didn't have to stare at super bulges every time I reached the bottom of the screen. I'd go and read this great issue then my reward for finishing? BAM! The World's Finest Crotches.

So whatever happened with the site and the color scheme? Are we keeping the green even though it doesn't look...good? I can always remake buttons with another color for the menu bar.

I actually think the green is appropriate for a DC forum.

Think about it: Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Martian Manhunter,

Etcetera, etcetera...
