Those are very beautyful Margaal, thx. But as the forum cannot auto stretch, nor center the image, we need an even tiled or plain colour or a huge one in which, it dos not matter if you are only able to see some of it. (Like an abstract image). In your case, the left side of the image will only be visible on a ex. 1200x1000 screen size, when made huge for a 1700x1400 screen size. And the Q2 icon in the middle will be covered by the boards and not visible at all. I know this is annoying and we can only hope for a change, when ProBoards comes up with their new V5 version soon. Iam a betatester for that development at the moment. -W1

Nice with some updates to the looks of the forum! I voted for the "Huge black/red Id image". Its, by far, the best I think. But it's not überawesome still. I like a more simpler approach. Since we browse the forum on a daily basis the more details there are, the harder it is to relax. Anyway, what I think needs work right now is the shell. It looks terrible and doesn't work as it should, atleast not on this computer which I am at right now. The gradients in the borders are starting over, like it's tiling. The buttons in menu could use a smaller outline or non at all. Keep it up, nice with updates.

I did not know you could see the borders in the buttons as it was supposed to be same colour as its background. While using a colour picker, I realized the background is not solid black but severel shades of black and that I can't see on my screen with my eyes alone. So as it's not possible to change it to solid black, I will have to make new button. Thanks for your input -W1

As we have so very different opinions about our new wallpaper background, I am thinking about making a contest and then making a poll of the incoming suggestions/skins, how dos that sounds guys? -W1

The gray Q2 logo with blended silver sides looks the best to me . Does it have to be just 1 image for everyone, not selectable in user preferences?

Ok, we will go with the huge black/red Id image for now. As the result was not that convincing, I am thinking of doing a mini-micro background image contest in the future. Thank you all for voting. -W1

Nice of you to put the norwegian flag into your picture Wix! That is the least of all, anyone can do to support your country's tremendously sad tragedy. I also uploaded a few video's in the bottom of the site. Iam so sorry for you all, my brother country. I keep a candlelight burning in my window every evening for your horrifying loss. -Wixen1

T'be honest, Wixen, I've been using the "newboard" theme ever since it was here because the default theme hurts my eyes I know you're trying to be quakey, but, I think you should just look for some nice red/green and black theme and modify it from there. -P
