The old dark blue one did look really nice as it felt more Sonic-y but too many people had problems with that. The templates could be made dark IMO to make it feel more Sonic-y but doesn't have too.

Revision as of 08:56, 6 July 2013
Result: A new look for the wiki has been implemented and all complaints have met satisfaction. |
---|
You guys probably know my habit of wanting to change the look of this wiki... that's what you get from a person like me. So... thanks to wikia's easy way of changing the theme, I happened to play around with the color of this site to come with something I thought looked pretty cool. I understand that most of you don't want to accept changes, but hey, didn't we get over complaining the removal of Monaco? (Come on guys, you know you did) I too am nervous to change the wiki's look but I am ready (for those who know me, know this is what I try to do most of the time). Anyways, here's the picture.
To be honest, that dark blue color seems to add charm to the wiki. I see no problem in changing the color. Serious Sam Heavy 16:53, January 27, 2013 (UTC) Sorry. I like the look the way it is, and the dark blue might make images with white backgrounds stand out. SilverPlays97 (Wall) (Contributions) 17:00, January 27, 2013 (UTC) Well, the blue hue and the other colors was a nice touch, but there was some flaws as well; the transparent background made it harder to read the text due to the figures in the background, it created a sharp and colliding contrast in comparison to the infoboxes, and the texts in said infoboxes became nearly invisibleUltrasonic9000 (talk) 17:01, January 27, 2013 (UTC) Sacorguy - Thank you. Silver - Good point, but I think there's a way to fix that. I'll see... since alot of wikis don't have a white background but the images look just fine. Ultrasonic - I can reduce the transparency and change the infoboxes to go with the theme (that's what I had in mind in the first place). I was mainly talking about the theme, and then change the details when the consensus is final. I'm basically asking - what if the entire wiki including the templates, all had this similar theme? -58SlugDrones • (Contact) 17:09, January 27, 2013 (UTC) I oppose, it would mess up the emotes on the chat, plus I think it looks just fine the way it is. GraveEclipse567 17:11, January 27, 2013 (UTC) It's very nice and I would love a site like this. But I agree with Plays. White pictures would stand out, and could ruin the wiki's "cache". And all the pictures would be had to be uploaded in a PNG format. Meaning, that all the backgrounds should be removed before uploading... User:XxTinkaStarxX/Signature 17:12, January 27, 2013 (UTC) SpyroSonic - That's a very good point. I didn't think about the chat. I'll look for a way to fix this. Tinka - The Assassin's Creed wiki looks absolutely fine despite it's dark theme and I have uploaded a few images on there. I think that can be fixed. --58SlugDrones • (Contact) 17:17, January 27, 2013 (UTC) Despite my general preference for white backgrounds, I like that example. I'm not sure about the transparency of the background, though. Obviously we'd need to fix picture thumbnails/frames and templates and things, but I think it would be interesting to try something new. -- Supermorff (talk) 18:38, January 27, 2013 (UTC) Er...no thanks, this would be too much blue for me. Too much strain on the eyes. No offense, but too much of one color can't be good for reader's eyes. Twinkle Snow Unleash Christmas 201319:43, January 27, 2013 (UTC) I'm perfectly fine with the proposed changes so long as the text remains legible and the issues expressed with the picture thumbnails/frames and other templates is taken care of. I also think that I'd prefer a solid background rather than a slightly transparent one, but that's just a personal preference. If the transparency can be made to work with everything else then I think I can tolerate it. Lloyd the Cat"I don't die. I just go on adventures." 21:45, January 27, 2013 (UTC) I have to agree with Unleashed and Spyro and oppose the propositions. The white pictures would stand out, the eye strain would be horrible, and the text would be hard to read unless color was changed to something better fitting with the changes. --The Shadow Of Darkness (talk) 22:36, January 27, 2013 (UTC) I have no problem with changing the colour, but I personally dislike that shade of blue in Drones' example. It should ideally be a little lighter that that, with no transparency, so that the text is readable, it is easy on the reader's eyes, and there is no clashing contrast between images and templates. THE REFLEX dancing on the valentine 23:17, January 27, 2013 (UTC)
Okay, for those who are concerned about the thumbnails and templates - it can be changed. Don't worry about those. I'll fix it when we get the final consensus.
Ya know what? Why don't you implement the new look drones and then we can change things to our liking. That's what we do when we do seasonal themes. SilverPlays97 (Wall) (Contributions) 11:26, January 28, 2013 (UTC) I think we should try the new look out for several days. If any user dislikes a certain feature of the new look, he/she could just bring it up here and maybe it could be changed to the community's liking. Or if few users like it when it's implemented, we should revert to our "normal" theme and rework the theme or scrap it. Twinkle Snow Unleash Christmas 201313:36, January 28, 2013 (UTC) Yeah, I was thinking about that. I'll wait till others (like Supermorff, our only bureaucrat) will let me keep the theme for a couple of days. I can't just slap it in.--58SlugDrones • (Contact) 16:15, January 28, 2013 (UTC) With a community consensus (and agreement of another admin, I guess) you can. XP Twinkle Snow Unleash Christmas 201316:17, January 28, 2013 (UTC) I suppose I can. But... well the wordmark's background layer isn't transparent. I made a transparent version however it keeps looking choppy and it looks blurry and seems 'stretched' on the chat window. Who made this wordmark? Can he make a transparent version?--58SlugDrones • (Contact) 16:29, January 28, 2013 (UTC)
User:SplashTheHedgehog/Amy Talkbubble
Pertaining to the new look of the wiki, I'm very fond of Drones' choice with or without the transparency in the background. It has a true Sonic feel to it. I wouldn't mind if these changes are implemented now in purpose of obtaining a feedback. ★EYCEST★R★ ★Contact★ 16:42, January 29, 2013 (UTC) I think I would prefer the background as it is, I like black on white, white text on dark brackgrounds tend to strain my eyes. Myself 123 02:40, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
User:SplashTheHedgehog/Amy Talkbubble
So where are we at about a new look? SilverPlays97 (Wall) (Contributions) 00:44, February 5, 2013 (UTC)
I actually don't like the new look.I think it's hard to understand plain text on the page.However,It does seem Dislexia friendly as they find it hard to understand on blank pages.My opinion is mixed! LuffyNaruto The Greatest Ninja Pirate Ever 18:21, February 9, 2013 (UTC) I still disagree on this. Because of the images, and of course, I can't understand the text well... So my opinion is both yes, and no. User:XxTinkaStarxX/Signature 00:30, February 10, 2013 (UTC) Supermorff - You're probably right but on which MediaWiki page? If you think we need to make these from scratch then I'd like to see what you can come up with (if you can make one). I'll probably make one too whenever I find a good amount of free time, for now, I'm pretty busy. Edsta and Tinka - What is in the plain text that is so hard to read? I greatly reduced the transparency in the second screenshot and I made the blue alot dimmer. I think the look I made is more soothing to the eyes than the look we have now (I'll change the yellow links however, they look annoying) I also feel that the wiki looks more 'complete' with the color change, but that's just me. I also tend to take dark colored wikis more seriously which is why I would like the look. (once again, that's just me) (Just my opinion guys, I'm not stating facts) (Don't worry, I respect your opinion I don't mean to attack it)--58SlugDrones • (Contact) 04:33, February 10, 2013 (UTC)
I like this shade of blue. This new appearance makes the wiki look rather attractive! Of course there are still a few things to rectify, mainly templates such as the forumheader at the top of this page. THE REFLEX dancing on the valentine 12:41, February 10, 2013 (UTC) For a minute there we were in the new skin and now we're back to the old one. Why? -- Supermorff (talk) 12:49, February 10, 2013 (UTC) Alright. Since you implemented the new look i will state my pros & cons: Pros
Cons
Overall i like the new look. Support. SilverPlays97 (Wall) (Contributions) 12:49, February 10, 2013 (UTC)
I've finally fixed the wordmark so it has a transparent background. Had to dig out the original version of the image to do so. Drones, I don't know what you mean by a less zoomed in version of the background. If you want to change the size of the Sonic heads, just resize the image. -- Supermorff (talk) 13:04, February 10, 2013 (UTC)
A little better this time, but still, if you are going to use this look, please do something about the infoboxes first. Their contents becomes really hard to read.Ultrasonic9000 (talk) 13:26, February 10, 2013 (UTC) Wow it actually looks fine, fine. But there are still the issues reported about infoboxes. The current look is fabulous, and the wiki is starting to look attractive. User:XxTinkaStarxX/Signature 13:32, February 10, 2013 (UTC)
Wow, I definitely missed a discussion...anyway, what I'm here to say is that I think the current Character infoboxes look ugly, to put it bluntly. They need a little more work; besides, I miss the name of the character being above the image. Twinkle Snow Unleash Christmas 201321:23, February 10, 2013 (UTC)
Another thing: How come the new look isn't still being tested? I completely missed it. Twinkle Snow Unleash Christmas 201321:35, February 10, 2013 (UTC) I love this new look! Some templates might need fixing for hyperlinks, etc though. Only problem is that the current background doesn't fit well with the theme, I'm suggest this that I found at the forum that changed SNN's logo last year
Okay, time for my two cents (Well, three cents, knowing me); I honestly don't like the current blue-on-blue look. It's too dark, and having the dark blue and dark red clash without borders makes the wiki look less. . . well, professional. The current look reminds me too much of wikis where two complimentary colours are put together to create "Interest" (Or in this case, just turn out to be an eyesore). The most prevelant issue I see about the new skin regards certain images like my signature *Ahem* which don't have clear elements (That rely on white). These images look popped out on the page, and out-of-place. For some reason I'm also finding it much harder to read some text on certain pages, and overall I think some tweaking needs to be done before it's perfect. I honestly think the background should be white with black text, and improvements made besides changing the colour of the background. Well, this is just my opinion, and I'm not expecting anyone to change anything because of it. -- 14:36, February 11, 2013 (UTC)
I personally like this dark blue. Makes it feel fresh --Kenny9277 (talk) 16:36, February 11, 2013 (UTC)Kenny9277 I, quite honestly, don't like the wiki's new look. For one, just like Admiral, the dark blue makes the text hard to read, and it also sort of hurts my eyes. Another thing is that I view the dark blue background mixing with the light blue Sonic background to be sort of ugly and unattractive. The dark blue background also makes the wiki look dark (obviously), whereas the white background made the wiki look bright and happy (at least in my opinion). One more problem I have with the background is that, for much of the chat's emotes, their white backgrounds are still visible, and for some reason, it makes it harder for me to tell what the emote is. Overall, I personally find the white background superior. It had a SNN-feel to it, and it never had any sort of issues that I know of. MetalMickey272
I really don't like this new theme. Some text (The dark grey) is really hard to read. Especially on chat. And why are the links orange? And for everything else, per Metal. GraveEclipse567 17:16, February 11, 2013 (UTC)
Well, it can be like this, as long as the link color is changed at least. User:XxTinkaStarxX/Signature 18:09, February 11, 2013 (UTC) What the cereal!? To be perfectly honest, I prefer the white instead of this new dark blue, can it change back? Pacmansonic138 (talk) 20:29, February 11, 2013 (UTC)
Now that I've had enough time to observe the wiki in its new skin, I'm starting to notice what's good and what's bad more clearly. I don't mind this blue tone overall, and I'm also fine with the link color (I can't think of anything more suitable than yellow). I'm currently more accustomed to the white background, but I'm confident that I'd get used to the blueness. Obviously, the biggest issue is the standing out of many of our templates, including Community Messages. They scream out at the viewer with brightness, and what with the yellow links, one can hardly see them over lighter colors. If we are able to modify the template colors, I wouldn't mind keeping the blue skin. If not, then I'd prefer the old look any day. THE REFLEX dancing on the valentine 17:49, February 12, 2013 (UTC)
Here's what I've done so far:
Any comments? Twinkle Snow Unleash Christmas 201319:58, February 12, 2013 (UTC) In my opinion, this new look makes this template awful. BlueSpeeder (talk) BlueSpeeder (talk) 22:08, February 12, 2013 (UTC) For Template:Comics I really dont think that Red, Yellow and Black works well together here. It gives it a more gothic look, and that just doesnt fit on SNN. Maybe for black, try a shade of blue that goes along with the background. That is just a thought.Ultrasonic9000 (talk) 23:08, February 12, 2013 (UTC) @Blue: It would look better if it was like the this template. And using five tildes instead of four after your sig leaves only the timestamp. I don't like the colors of the new look. it makes everything harder to work with and harder to read. i like the old one better. --MetalSplashTheWolf (talk) 00:37, February 13, 2013 (UTC) I made the color of admin blog comments darker, so it's a lot better to read the text. ★EYCEST★R★ ★Contact★ 03:38, February 13, 2013 (UTC) Can we change the color of text in the tables on the wiki the yellow and light grey is impossible to read with the blue background.Sonamyfan666 a Amy Rose Expert and fan (talk) 04:02, February 13, 2013 (UTC) Finally Supermorff said it. Users who are concerned about the templates better become fully aware that templates can be changed. Most of you are talking like the theme is never going to make templates look good again. So please, why don't we just chill it with the white templates and finally suggest some color schemes and styles, no? And thank you ShU for helping out!--58SlugDrones • (Contact) 05:32, February 13, 2013 (UTC) I'm fine with the new look it's the text on the tables for things like All-Stars and non-Sonic Characters the yellow and light grey are to hard to read can we change them to a darker colored text. Other wise I'm fine.Sonamyfan666 a Amy Rose Expert and fan (talk) 05:35, February 13, 2013 (UTC) I fixed all of the templates ShU listed, though his colors looked too gothic and bright I appreciate his willingness to contribute.
Tell me what you think.--58SlugDrones • (Contact) 06:09, February 13, 2013 (UTC)
I think we should come up with a list of templates that need to be fixed. It would get the job done faster. SilverPlays97 (Wall) (Contributions) 16:01, February 13, 2013 (UTC)
Well, the only thing to do here is to update the templates. Infoboxes as well... The wiki can stay like this, my opinion is that it's 2013. The wiki need a sleek new look... User:XxTinkaStarxX/Signature 17:07, February 13, 2013 (UTC) ShU? Never been called that before...and nice to know my colors look too gothic. XP Anyway, Template:EnME is protected for some reason, so an admin needs to fix that one. Can we do some thing about the text for Tables and Templates cause I can't read them due to the bright colors on bright backgrounds. If I knew what to do I would help.Sonamyfan666 a Amy Rose Expert and fan (talk) 21:47, February 13, 2013 (UTC)
Just dropping a note to say that there'll be no more input from me on this new look. My cares about it have vanished. Although I can't wait until the trial period is over, as I'm starting to miss the white background already. THE REFLEX dancing on the valentine 17:30, February 14, 2013 (UTC) Per the second part of Solace's statement; the new colors are cool, but they're also starting to affect my mood. It looked so cheery before... Twinkle Snow Unleash Christmas 201317:37, February 14, 2013 (UTC) I don't like it. It kind of strains the eyes. Time Biter "The Rift" 23:12, February 15, 2013 (UTC)
I have a new wallpaper in my mind, which will be the same color tone as the one I've kept for now (for you guys to get an idea). Hopefully I'll make it soon enough (Oh I hope!)--58SlugDrones • (Contact) 11:58, February 16, 2013 (UTC) Get help?Look, guys, it's clear that the format we're trying out is a bit divisive. That said, I think a lot of people are willing to try out a new look, even if they aren't happy with the specific new look that we've suggested. Well, you know what, nobody on this site is a professional website designer or developer. We're learning just enough to get by. So why don't we actually try to get some help to design a properly kickass skin/theme? Let's ask the Wikia Community Development Team. -- Supermorff (talk) 08:54, February 16, 2013 (UTC)
I've made a request. -- Supermorff (talk) 16:20, February 16, 2013 (UTC)
Update:Added a little Sonic there just for now. I had plans for another Sonic artwork on the right but the filesize is too large. I think we need more stars or some stripes or little GHZ tree silhouettes, what do you guys say?--58SlugDrones • (Contact) 18:56, February 17, 2013 (UTC)
We must have different screen resolutions, because for me Sonic's face is covered up by the content area. I can only see his spikes. -- Supermorff (talk) 19:07, February 17, 2013 (UTC)
[Reset needed] Replying to Supermorff, you don't need to be a coding expert, you just need to find someone who is. It's much easier to modify a skin via the CSS than the theme designer since you get so much more customization via CSS than you would via the Special:ThemeDesigner, but that's just my personal experience. It's not about how many edits you make, its about how significant the edits you make are 21:33, February 17, 2013 (UTC)
Ricky, we're already trying to get some help. We're already using css where relevant, but the big problem isn't lack of coding ability it's a lack of designing. Unless you're volunteering your expertise as both a designer and a coding expert, you're not suggesting anything that we aren't already trying. Sorry. -- Supermorff (talk) 11:25, February 18, 2013 (UTC) I changed my mind, it looks good and great, and it shows that it is a Sonic Wiki. But the background has issues with the image. The image gets cut sometimes and Sonic's face can only be seen clearly in the homepage. The gray is totally different from Sonic's image if you take a closer look. The background is the only thing to change, fix that is. The labels (ex. Administrator) on a few userpages doesn't look so fine. User:XxTinkaStarxX/Signature 17:22, February 18, 2013 (UTC)
Finalizing the BackgroundGuys, now that Supermorff has brought Joe from the Wikia staff involved, the wallpaper has to be decided. And don't take too long (By the way, I'm not going for multiple characters background, I don't really want any rainbows here but alright if you can suggest it in a way it can look good) Be smart with the colors (e.g. Don't suggest a bright green, come on, it'd never work). The little thmbnail there is what I have in mind, with a Power Shoe buckle across the middle (if it can work) (I haven't made it yet, I'll show everyone when I make one)--58SlugDrones • (Contact) 08:41, February 20, 2013 (UTC) I suppose that looks good for the background. Unfortunately, I'm unable to fully see all of Sonic on the current one, but that's only because of a smaller monitor. Eh, it won't bother me at all. Serious Sam Heavy 12:04, February 20, 2013 (UTC) Well, if you fix the background ("fix" meaning making it stuck so that it doesn't disappear when you're scrolling), I think that'd be awesome. And my screen seems to be larger than everybody else's...(17 inches wide) Twinkle Snow Unleash Christmas 201313:04, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
If you have the original, transparent-background image files for those two, we can get them to Joe on the Content Team and he can work out all the problems. Is everyone happy with those images? -- Supermorff (talk) 20:30, February 21, 2013 (UTC)
Joe gave me this preview. Tell me what you guys think.--58SlugDrones • (Contact) 04:39, February 22, 2013 (UTC)
I like the new background. The two Sonics are the right height and position for me. -- Supermorff (talk) 19:59, February 22, 2013 (UTC)
User:SplashTheHedgehog/Amy Talkbubble I don't like the idea of changing the logo regularly. We want one logo all the time. It doesn't necessarily have to be this one. -- Supermorff (talk) 11:59, February 23, 2013 (UTC) The logo is fine the way it is. Plus the background is much better now. But the logo can use a bug fix, see right below News Network. User:XxTinkaStarxX/Signature 17:11, February 23, 2013 (UTC)
Not asking for a new Monobook layout or anything, but will we ever update the logo on this image? Pacmansonic138 (talk) 21:06, February 23, 2013 (UTC)
You guys are going to kill me but I changed the look again looks like we have to change the templates again if you guys like this one better. Please don't get mad at me!--SlugDrones • (Contact) 06:08, February 26, 2013 (UTC)
Hmmm... Not bad! But chat sorta looks red now. The dark blue was a great additive, and we could have left it anyhow. But this look brings everything back to normal, but a few changes involved. User:XxTinkaStarxX/Signature 22:00, February 26, 2013 (UTC) User:SplashTheHedgehog/Talkbubble Can I ask if we can do something about info boxes and tables the text matches the background color on some parts making it hard to read can we change the text color in these parts. Sonamyfan666 Follow me inside, outside, through the stratosphere... User:SplashTheHedgehog/Amy Talkbubble Template:Episode order needs fixed, the text is unreadable. For example look at this page:Coachnik Mbruno (talk) 03:14, February 27, 2013 (UTC) This looks so much better with the dark blue gone. -- 03:54, February 27, 2013 (UTC)
Okay, this has gone way too far. Drones said that the wiki would get a new look, correct? It was changed to a darker blue, correct? And the wallpaper was changed, correct? So why in the flying frog are the templates darker and harder to read when the screen returned back to normal? And, when I changed the template Real World, it took me a while to change it. But why was it returned to normal, people?!? SNN users, stick with a damn design and leave it like that. This has gone way too far. BlueSpeeder (talk) BlueSpeeder (talk) 23:03, February 27, 2013 (UTC)
I really don't like the new background. Maybe it's because of what I'm seeing (photo to the right). Nevertheless, I still want our old Sonic-head background back, and I don't think this wiki will achieve a new look that I actually approve of. Twinkle Snow Unleash Christmas 201314:22, February 28, 2013 (UTC)
What do you mean achieve? I'm just trying to change the look. Guys I was just able to change the naviagtion button thing but its not working anymore. :[--SlugDrones • (Contact) 03:40, March 1, 2013 (UTC) The work is indeed good, but it's really hard to decide between the dark blue and the classic look. Anyhow, for chat, there should be a skin button: 1 that says Modern Sonic, which would be dark blue and all, and Classic Sonic, with the old style. Does anyone get my point? Change that red thing, the chat doesn't look Sonic-y anymore. User:XxTinkaStarxX/Signature 14:58, March 1, 2013 (UTC) Drones, what I mean by achieve is that although we're all trying to come up with a new look for SNN, nothing is as good as our old Sonic-head background (in my opinion, at least). I don't think we're going to come up with a look better than our old one. Twinkle Snow Unleash Christmas 201319:25, March 1, 2013 (UTC) Maybe it's because you guys aren't used to it? All these years on SNN, people have alays been extremely reluctant to change, I mean, I couldn't even slightly change the templates. Did you know that previously users didn't even want the Sonic hed background and wanted the wiki to be blank white? And when users were completely reluctant to use this modernize Wiki look, there was actually a decision to move this site to a new URL which is out of Wikia? For those who come here for chat - the chat is a new thing. If I remove it, you'll complain. If we never had it and I installed it, you people would still complain. But alright if you guys really don't want any change, I'll change everything back to the old look. Who changed the templates Supermorff made and why?--SlugDrones • (Contact) 04:26, March 2, 2013 (UTC)
As you guys can see, I managed to change the skin a bit on the top (The wiki navigation) The image I made was just done in a few seconds for testing and the final product might look nothing like this. Any suggestions guys? I was thinking more of a Sonic's shoe strap or something.--SlugDrones • (Contact) 04:42, March 2, 2013 (UTC) SU, what are you talking about? This new background is ten times better than the rubbish Sonic head background I threw together. -- Supermorff (talk) 09:46, March 2, 2013 (UTC) DarkFuture - You guys could have changed the color and not the entire look. Supermorff's templates were way better.
I love how everyone ignored my problem. :) I'd like it if someone would be able to change the background to fit a wider screen (hopefully this wouldn't be too much trouble). And Morff, your background had a sort of simplistic charm about it, and Drones is right: it wasn't rubbish at all. Twinkle Snow Unleash Christmas 201301:27, March 4, 2013 (UTC) User:SplashTheHedgehog/Blaze Talkbubble The red was intentional. I supposed I'll change it then.--SlugDrones • (Contact) 04:47, March 4, 2013 (UTC) Actually I agree with the red thing. It doesn't give so much of a Sonic-y touch. So it's much appreciated to be changed. User:XxTinkaStarxX/Signature 14:27, March 5, 2013 (UTC) Splash> Your screen resolution is just wide. You will always see bars on the side no matter what color we change the background to. Also, I'm sure the main color of the chat can be modified through some MediaWiki pages. Tinka> The red background also effects the border of images when they are expanded. The background appears white, while the border is red, somewhat reminiscent to the design of Sonic's shoes. ★EYCEST★R★ ★Contact★ 15:34, March 5, 2013 (UTC) User:SplashTheHedgehog/Rouge Talkbubble Dark> I know that. But the red is also just like the Christmas template. Red. It should be changed to make it a Sonic chat, IMO User:XxTinkaStarxX/Signature 20:20, March 8, 2013 (UTC) Could someone fix Template:EnME? The background and link text are both blue. Mbruno (talk) 20:31, March 8, 2013 (UTC) User:XxTinkaStarxX/Talkbubble5 There's still the matter of the red background that was brought up. I think it makes the borders of images and the border of the chat look similar to Sonic's shoes (since the main color of their backgrounds are white), which is a simple reason to leave it as it is. However, if everyone prefers a blue background, then that change can be made. Let's do a vote to keep things neater since this discussion is already pretty cluttered, then I'll close this forum upon consensus. Even though I'm voting for red, I really don't care one way or another. ★EYCEST★R★ ★Contact★ 15:51, March 10, 2013 (UTC) Could someone fix Template:Forumheader?

Per DF's last sentence...except I'm voting blue. Twinkle Snow Unleash Christmas 201323:12, March 10, 2013 (UTC) Well, there's not much consensus to have the background changed. I'll have this forum closed by tomorrow, so get your votes in while you still can. ★EYCEST★R★ ★Contact★ 19:56, March 12, 2013 (UTC)
I extended the sides of the background myself (it wasn't as hard as I thought it would be...) and uploaded the image. Could an admin test out the extended image? Twinkle Snow Unleash Christmas 201320:27, March 12, 2013 (UTC)
EDIT: Actually, I think it's because the file size is 338KB. Anybody know how to fix it so that it's 150KB? Twinkle Snow Unleash Christmas 201320:46, March 12, 2013 (UTC)
As of today, there is not enough consensus to have the colored background changed, so it will remain red. ★EYCEST★R★ ★Contact★ 13:01, March 13, 2013 (UTC) Should the background remain red?Place only signatures in the below sections please. Support (Red BG)
