What about having Head and Base images everywhere, for each skin?

ooo cool idea...saves a code

And it's something that is normally used on 90%+ of forums!

Could it be a feature that is enabled/disabled perhaps? Gives skin makers the chance to decide if they'll have them or not - sometimes a skin doesn't necessarily need them.

I reckon it should be in the 'forum colours' part!

Then people can add them depending on the skin!

Should be easy to do, the system should however be able to work with % widths too, that would be awsome!

I'll see if something like this can be added in the next update.

Maybe something like this ?


<div class="head">
     <div class="head_left"></div>
     <div class="head_right"></div>
</div>

<div class="slip_bg">
     { TABLE }
</div>

<div class="base">
     <div class="base_left"></div>
     <div class="base_right"></div>
</div>



That way it will work for fixed, and percentage width; it also will be ready for slipstream easier. Tho i think you may use tables instead to create the head/base effect maybe because its more browser compatible, then using "float" ?

I've decided against having an input option for the "slip_bg" as I doubt most people would know what it is. And it'd need CSS to style it anyway. But I'll add the div in anyway as well as the head/base image fields. I'll also be outputting the head/base divs regardless of if any images have been entered so that if the user wants they can style the whole thing themselves in the header.

Oh, and I'll give extra class names to the ones around the welcome table so that they can be easily removed. Does that sound like a good plan?

Sounds like a real good plan.

Awesome!

In which case this'll be going live in the next update. I think I managed to get all of the tables.

Yupyup

I wasn't thinking of a field either, just a div is fine for slip_bg

This is awesome! RAWRR!
