Change in the Design of PGA

So I went and deleted pretty much all dead threads and stuff (sorry if anything important to you was deleted). I also changed the banner (thanks GG) and the background, along with the widgets on the side. What do you guys think? I want your honest opinion; I'm just testing some new layouts. I have all of the old graphics and everything ready in case you all want to change them back. Also, any more suggestions on things to change would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Bast

holy (tyrion) (ygritte) this looks awesome. Also my friend was teaching me how to do gfx and he kicked me out of chat. oh well looks like im learning the fun way, by playing with the tools. XD

Looks good!

I'm glad everyone likes it so far! It took me at least an hour and a half to delete all of the old posts, then another 30 to find new graphics and put them in. I'd advise you guys to check out the threads that I didn't delete, and try to resurrect them. There aren't many, but they all are pretty cool.

The only thing I don't like is how the Dragon in the background doesn't fit perfectly so you see the top of a second picture

What do you mean CD?

I don't know what you mean CD.

Where is there CD o.O?

Its your nick name lol

I don't want to be CD call me Dolphin plox Q_Q but what I mean is look at the bottom left corner of the screen see how it starts a new photon dragon that just irks me.

I agree with Dolphin. The side isn't very appealing, but the rest is pretty cool.

I agree- the top looks great but the "background" (kind of) needs probably better scaling.

The vertical length of the background depends on how long the page is that you are looking at. It fits the home page and the reply screen perfectly, but I don't think that we have a setting to change the size of the dragons based on how long the page is so that it perfectly fits. I did make an adjustment though so that the background is not fixed. Is that any better?

I see the idea with the image in the background, however, the issue that's being brought up is that you only see the sides of it, and not the entire image. Added with that, it's checkered upon itself, which to me, doesn't flow nor look good. I'd suggest using a singular layout for the background, like a normal wallpaper or desktop background that can still give the same idea that you want to portray (assuming a space-like theme). From there, options should be able to open themselves up and you can go from there.

I get what you're saying Banner. The problem is that I don't think that there is a way to have it be a singular layout. I've explored the admin panel and can't find any way to change the layout. If you guys want me to put the old background up, I'd be happy to.
