New Logo/Icon for the site and other things 2008-02-08 - 09:29:00

Hello everyone, as you may have noticed, we have a new icon for the site.
It will appear on the address bar every time you access the site using you browser. Right now it does work on Firefox, and I need to do a couple changes for it to perfectly work on IE... apparently it does not like the fact that the icon has some transparencies, so I need to figure something out for it.

Also, I want to encourage anyone who wants to create a new icon or logo for the site to go ahead and send me your ideas/designs. If I do it by myself, there is only a limited things I can think of, or that I can actually do, so if you want to collaborate this way, just let me know either by email or leave a comment on this post.

On other issues, I just changed a little bit the way the warnings are displayed.
Before, the warning image displayed was of a fixed size and the box surrounding it, was also fixed. With the new system, the warning image takes the size of the original image, so the box better represents what the size is and fits better with the images on the same category.
I will change the actual warning image, so it does not look too distorted, but at least now, we won't have a square warning in the middle of the wallpaper sections.

Finally, I want to thank all of those that are helping out with the site, by uploading, providing feedback and comments on new functionality that you would like to have or just letting your friends know about the site.
Every little bit of help is appreciated.

Thank you very much. ^^

i use a trick for the favicon issue~ basically create a png 32x32 with the transparency and all, convert it to favicon [ http://www.chami.com/html-kit/services/favicon/ ] and then upload it to your home directory, both the favicon and the png, both same size 32x32 and both named favicon. that's all i do, firefox and ie pick them up just fine.

That is exactly what I did, using that website also, but it is not working 100%
I have both the .png and .ico file uploaded, but I can only specify one, and for some reason, using the site, it does not maintain the transparency...
I'll try again, and see if I did something wrong.
Thanks.

jjesus012194, thanks for the icons...

By looking at them on the browser, the one that fits best on the "TABS" is icon #5, however... they will not match the new design...
The use the old colors, orange/white/black, that will no longer be used when the new design is ready for prime-time.
That is why the one I created, and we are using now is just white/gray/black.

I think I posted on a previous news article how the site was going to look like.
Here is the link once again [new design], in case you missed it.

PS: Man!! that screenshot is from ages ago, look at the number of users and the number of image hits...
I really need more time to finish up the upgrade already!!

Thank you.
