this is a big deal guys, dont take this for granted...the admins bust their asses to make this place as good as it is.
skin is marvelous, very tasteful. reminds me of the old pix, the nostalgia is settling in. i love it already. thank god bruce is gone.
-
It all looks totally wicked!
:y:
-
this is probably the coolest color scheme/theme I've seen for any website, actually, I love it.
-
I love the new color scheme as well. It's nice without being too hard on the eyes.

I couldn't be happier with the design. Beautfiul. Simple. Effective. The little touches here and there are awesome, like the highlights on the the reply/quote/home/help/search/etc buttons. Or the pixel-fied BBcode buttons. And it's all tied together colour-wise in a cohesive and easy-to-read manner.
I'm almost shocked by how much of a different feel this board gives compared to the old neutral Pixelopolis colour. I'm changing the backgrounds in all my pixels from now on to a slightly tinted grey. Complete grey almost feels evil now.
Thank you to all the guys and girls who made this a reality. All bars have been picked up, smashed, and left two miles behind! You did great!
PS. The multi -res/-zoom banner seals the deal. I'm seeing purpose to the design everywhere I look. This is how a pixel board is supposed to look!

:crazy:

:noob: :noob: :noob:
This theme is mad. It's so soft. It reminds me of warm fur. :'(
-
Good stuff! ;D

Small question. Is there anyway to change the scrollbars for this board? Currently, each post has its own horizontal scrollbar so that stretching images only messes up one post and keeps the rest of the page intact. This is annoying when you have a really big image or zoom level and are constantly moving down the page, scrolling over to the right, then moving up to look at the art, then moving down to scroll over right some more, and so on and so on. Can the individual horizontal scrollbars be axed and replaced by a single scrolly controlling the entire page instead of just one post?
Also, this has nothing to do with what I just typed, but I like this smiley :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh:
huh? huh! huh. H..uh. HUHHUHUH Huuuuuuuuuh?
-
For such cases, I just open a separate window with the zoomed art and write on another and alternate between the two. I don't think actual code modification should be implemented to suit such a need.
-
Awesome job on the site, guys. Looks fantastic. :-*
-
too many fad avatars, ahhhhh!

Haha, i love it. :-*

and is it just me or do all the great pixelers here have black hair and atleast a stubble?
-
Excluding Miascugh, they all look like badasses. !yus!
-
Miascugh is quite badass alright :powl:
And about that scrollbar thing, what helm said or get a bigger screen :B
-
What fad?
-
mad props indeed ;) :y:
edit-
and my avatar fits in :lol:
-
wow this new design is great, it has a really nice retro feel to it.
-
What fad?
I dunno what there talking about. :P
-
Yours doesn't animate and doesn't follow the fad really...
-
you made me sad... also, cures isnt animated (i dont think... i did wait for it to blink... nothing happend) but whatever...
( i have no animation program anyway graphic gale has run out of trail days)
-
Really impressed with the layout. The colours are a lot better for the eyes and the addition of the newsbox gives the place an extra colour boost. (.. and its a bonus that my name has somehow been added in there as well :D ) *cough*
If I had a hat, I'd take it off for you guys.
Hmm.. A lot of faces going around... I guess its time I got an avatar :-\
-
and is it just me or do all the great pixelers here have black hair and atleast a stubble?
That's just you!
:'(
-
BAHAHAHAHA, oh man, i lol'd :D
-
I only use mspaint, never animated before. My excuse, however, is that I'm a rebel, and I won't conform to the rules of these icons.
-

I think it does. It's a mix between the fad and his old avatar, which is cool.
-
:o... oldskool half coming soon.
thanks to ptoing for giving me great C&c... and explaining a old graphics mode to me ;)
-
I've developed a soft spot for these avatars.. :P
-
I dont really understand what the, err, rules or guidlines behind them are, or anything about them. I do know however, that they're pretty awesome looking.
I also wanted to say that I feel very at ease here, like just the very skin has changed how I look at this place. Pixelopolis was never very inviting.

I have a theory on this: pure grey is evil. To test this out I've kidnapped several children and will be raising half in a room with grey walls, and the other half in a room with yellowy-grey walls. If my theory is correct then the pure-grey children should grow up to be thieves, murderers, and Enron CEOS, while the yellowy-grey children will grow up to be just like Helm.
I'll let you know how this turns out
-
Genius.
-
Great Work fellaz! :y:
-
Another black-haired one :-\ Great first post, btw.
I wish someone collect them together somewhere. And would be really interesting to see same size photos to compare :)
-
Gas, technically i don't have black hair. It's dark brown with a slight red tinge. :crazy:

So why do you fool everyone? :mean: Please, don't cover under "that's all about limited pallete" ;)
-
Mine is a very dark brown as well. But I was working with a limited pallete.
-
Whaddup?
<<
-
I wanted to make one... Then I realized everyone already had one.
Fight the power? !yus!
-
THATS IT! I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE - now i *HAVE* to make one.
-
No! Dont give in to fashionability! :'(
::)
-
<<I am now on this bandwagon.
The color of blonde hair is so hard to recreate, especially with a fixed palette. :mean:
-
<Made mine again
first portrait i've ever pixeled :) and it actually looks abit like me.
but unlike the fakablad above me i cant shade hair !yus!
-
full respect to all the peeps that made this happen.
In honor and to hop on the bandwagon, I've pixelled my portrait for the first time as well
-
Had it since yesterday, but heh. Yay for fads.
-
Fads Ahoy.. Started work on one. ;)
-
Im in. I just need to know what restrictions there are.

Looks like there's no restrictions anymore :) I suppose it was Helm who made some interesting C64 avatar followed by Ptoing's flashing from C64 to 16 colors pallete. Ptoing linked me via icq and I was kinda ispired and <a href="http://www.wayofthepixel.net/pixelation/index.php?topic=1950.0>made[/url] similar looking for myself but with ZX-Spectrum colors. Same day I saw miascugh made avatar like that with... hm unknown for me oldskul pallete :)
But the next day there were several avatars using Ptoing's pallete without turning to oldskul version. Now it's just a madness. Still a lot of fun :crazy:
-
There is still one restriction left.. which I am doing!
Plus I think people should make there own backgrounds... make it more interesting!
-
:-\ .. Mine's 86 x 86 .. rather small compared to the 128 x 128.. will this be a problem?
-
arent they all 64x64 abd then doubled?
im going to hop on the bandwagon once i catch up to it, ive been needing a new avi anyway
-

Yes, that's my point, I started it and later on realised the size limits... :-[

Well, it doesn't hurt to be different... :sry:

Seeing as you, yourself have done a very impressive one, I'll keep it :)
-
IM on the bandwagon. Beanies are hard :(
-
I was going to make one before, but it seemed to just be all the uber peeps, didn't want to try to compare myself to them ;)
Making one now though. :0'
-
haha
Larwick: "I was going to make one before, but it seemed to just be all the uber peeps, didn't want to try to compare myself to them. But now that Faktablad's made one, I see that complete n00bs are allowed to make one too."
-
Exactly. ^-^
I think the likeness to myself is quite good.
-
Oh boy, this looks fun.
:Hops on bandwagon:
-
holy fetchin cow, so so many people are doing this now. I guess i'm gunna hafta add a bit more to mine to give it an original flavor.
EDIT: Very very nice one, lar
-
Can some one make an avatar showcase thread, with all the avatars in one thread next to each other... so we can marvel at the beauty!
-
Nice job Larwick! Looks sweet. :y:

Ptoing was going to do that but there were not enough avatars that day ;) 3 to be correct.

Updated

:D

The new board is just awesome and the color scheme is just relaxing to my eyes. Thank you for providing me a new home ;D
-
done, with a new respect for anyone that knows how to make c64 look good, either in multicolor or hires modes (its my first time trying either)
the other thing i learned though, is that one should never try to draw curly hair. screw whoever decided we scotts ought to have it >.<
the "shifty eyes" comes from the fact that, due to the placement of my eyes, i couldnt have them looking straight out or id violate the restriction ^^
Larwick you look emo, and my friend sarah thinks you are "hott" lol
-
haha, ada that's fucking ace, not 100% following mcol restrictions, but who cares in this case :)
-
Ja - Pixelation is back - finally :-)
