Help talk:Background image

Dear users of the Club Penguin Fanon Wiki,

It has come to my attention that our wiki's theme backgrounds are horrendously boring. Some themes have a plain white background, and others have a dull blue. While it has been the wiki's traditional look for a long time, I belive that it is time to move on and increase our wiki's appeal with a new and interesting background. Here, members of the community can discuss this idea and perhaps submit images for consideration. --XTUX345: "May the Bird of Paradise fly up your nose!

 * Nah. Been on some of the wikia wikis lately? Excuse my klatchian, but the backgrounds look like horse manure smeard on the screen IMO. -- THE SHEEP!  | FIGHTTHEPOWER!  [[File:Crazy sheep.gif]] ( Stuff I did and stuff ) 20:22, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Not like that crap, I mean something better looking.--XTUX345: "May the Bird of Paradise fly up your nose! May an elephant caress you with his toes!" 20:44, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Like what? IMO, all wiki background images are horse manure. -- THE SHEEP!  | FIGHTTHEPOWER!  [[File:Crazy sheep.gif]] ( Stuff I did and stuff ) 20:49, 27 April 2011 (UTC)


 * NO. I thought you were over all that accursed reforming crap, XTUX!! This is a wiki and needs a blank, white background. OR, you can give Vector a background but keep Modern and MonoBook from having one . --20:50, 27 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Ehhhh, guess I could take a whack at it. Is it doable, though? Zone 20:54, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Ahem... I designed that background!--FOR CLUB PENGUIN, TRANSFORMERS, LEGO, TRAINS, YUUSHA, AND GUNDAM! 21:17, 27 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Sorry if we offended you with that, Railfan, but everybody makes mistakes. I've made huge blunders in the past, and I'm still making them.--XTUX345: "May the Bird of Paradise fly up your nose! May an elephant caress you with his toes!" 21:21, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

I don't think this wiki really needs a background.


 * I wouldn't call it a mistake.--FOR CLUB PENGUIN, TRANSFORMERS, LEGO, TRAINS, YUUSHA, AND GUNDAM! 22:47, 27 April 2011 (UTC)


 * An image background is too distracting and it's going to make reading pages near-impossible. Stick with a simple color scheme.  Yours Truly,   Explorer 767 ( FULL SERVICE GAS STATIONS ARE A COLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME  )   v   •  [ e ]  13:32, 28 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Good image, but bad background. &#91;&#91;User:LakeTrio3&#124;&lt;font color=&quot;pink&quot;&gt;Lake&lt;/font&gt;&#93;&#93;&#91;&#91;User talk:LakeTrio3&#124;&lt;font color=&quot;blue&quot;&gt;Trio&lt;/font&gt;&#93;&#93;&#91;&#91;Special:Contributions/LakeTrio3&#124;&lt;font color=&quot;yellow&quot;&gt;3&lt;/font&gt;&#93;&#93; 20:09, 28 April 2011 (UTC)


 * No. It affects readaibility, bandwidth, and scalability. A simple colour scheme (like our darkblue/orange) is best. --142.167.81.42 23:18, 28 April 2011 (UTC) / Refractor


 * Agree with Refractor! Andrew (The devil is down in Georgia) (Product of human clones) 00:17, 29 April 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't want that picture to go to waste, but any background is bad on a wiki. If you guys can find something better to use it with, then that would be good. Not a background, as Zapwire explained. -- Tigernose  [[Image:Tigernose.png|link=User:Tigernose|20px]]  Talk  •  Contribs  10:51, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Do you want the wiki to have a background image? If "yes" wins, we'll have a competition to choose one.

 * Even though I like the image, I have to agree with Sheep and the Staff. A color scheme is best.  Yours Truly,   Explorer 767 ( <span title="I'M GOING TO BURN YOUR HOUSE DOWN!

 * Acctually, I agree also. We COULD however put that image to use somewhere else, and I know just where to do it...--XTUX345: "May the Bird of Paradise fly up your nose! May an elephant caress you with his toes!" 17:08, 29 April 2011 (UTC)


 * Ditto with Explorer.


 * Perhaps we should change the wiki's color scheme to something a little more appealing...gradients, anyone?--XTUX345: "May the Bird of Paradise fly up your nose! May an elephant caress you with his toes!" 19:13, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

 * The image is outstanding, but this wiki simply doesn't need a background. It's a wiki, and despite the somewhat informal purpose of storytelling, we owe it to the WikiMedia foundation to keep the nerd's look of the console's origins. ...-at least, that's my excuse for my hatred of change and informalities on a website that uses an encyclopedia as its underlying code. Also, no colors and no gradients; just do it white and plain, please. -- † <span title="The Masses? That sounds like some sort of Somalian child army.   ">TurtleShroom <span title="">™!

*It's a great pic XTUX, but some of the penguins need to be a bit bigger. TurtleShroom (Penguin) should be way taller than Explorer 767, as TSP is a emperor penguin and Explorer a adelie penguin--FOR CLUB PENGUIN, TRANSFORMERS, LEGO, TRAINS, YUUSHA, AND GUNDAM! 22:18, 29 April 2011 (UTC)
