Dueces Wild Wallpaper

Got to playing around again and made up this desktop wallpaper. You're all free to use it. Resolution is 1280x1024. If you have a bigger screen, it blends well setting the desktop background to black. If you have a wide-screen monitor, it still looks good stretched.

Avatar-sized as well!

Awesome Sven! Thanks!

Can we make that an Avi as well? When I say "we" I of course mean "you" ;)

Yeah you can. Your white text would probably be not so visible when it goes across the cards though. Otherwise, put this around your text:

Quote:

<div style="width: 100%; background-image: url([url]http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/gallery/data/686/Dueces_Wild_Wallpaper_1280x1024.png);[/url] background-repeat: y-repeat; margin: 0;">

**rest of your userpage goes here**

</div>

ummm... I'll try....

You go to UserCP, select UserCP from the menu - then on the Main User Page Menu select Edit User Page

There, you stick in this code:

Code:



<table border=0 background="http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/gallery/data/686/Dueces_Wild_Wallpaper_1280x1024.png" width=100%>

<tr>

<td>





ALL YOUR USERPAGE INFO GOES BELOW THE ABOVE TD TAG AND ABOVE THE TD TAG BELOW



Because of the Size - you may need to add extra lines to get it to expand to the full size of the Graphic, but you can control the content around the Cards and the logo this way



</td>

</tr>

</table>

Hows that?

Edit: Or go with the Userpage Mod's ideas... phtt.... hehe :D

Sorry, I'm a web design snob. :D Though if you go with Max's code, change that board=0 to border=0.

Maximvs

07-10-2009 01:32 AM

Doh, board... where did I get that? :D hehe

In both cases though - your "content" will need to fill out the size of the graphic to see it all (you can put in blank lines to do this, just by hitting the Enter Key several times).

I just tested both codes - and they both work (once I put in extra blank lines - the graphic fills out really nice)... so its all good ;)

Gents! It's a work in progress now. TY for the help ;)

SOMEBODY has been reading the dictionary again! :laughks2:

No Bas, that word was already in my vocabulary. Some of us actually read books that don't have pictures. I use my dictionary to double check my spelling (and as a booster seat for gtots at the dining room table).

I'm just completely illiterate when it comes to computer programming. I know nothing about how the h you code stuff or do any graphic designs. If I could figure out how to make a damn dirt throwing Smilie, I would have done it myself, long ago. (Never mind, that my first experience with anything involving editing was when I used Paint to put marbles into the DW signature image.)

So back to my vapid expression when it comes to directions from you computer geeks. I'll just console myself with the knowledge that I'm extremely proficient at what I do for a living.

Lol... If I seem a little vexed it's because I tried to follow both Sven's and Max's instructions and definitely did not get the results that Sarah did.
