News from the History Guy-TKG Labs...

Xenobrew is good stuff, and all that, but our top researcher, Mr. Zaphod Beeblebrox, has invented the all-time best drink in the Universe.

The mind-blowing Pan Galatic Gargle Blaster is available at the special low price of 1.00 credit at your local bar.

Once I'm done blowing my mind on Pan Galatic Gargle Blasters, I may actually take part in the new game...as more than a drink salesman.

I'd prefer nice looking ones... good work thus far, TKG, but perhaps a different background color? Maybe even a different one for each one? Happen to have larger versions of the originals? I designed the Mac civgroup icon...

they all have to be 15x19 pixels, i can't make them any bigger. markos even shot down 19x19.
here they are with transparencies:


as for that background colour, that's the silver-ish text from the SMAC section. i made some other ones (ctp2-yellow, MoO3 blue, SMAC orange, the red-brown colour like the current icon) but the light blue was voted best by our resident style expert, kassi

i could try a red or green though. i'll get back to you.

Can't you make it the same background colour as the MoO3 section? Then at least we won't notice it.

[Method]

back again from the lab with new images if someone wants to give it a shot



maniac: you mean these?


EDIT: done with moo3-blue:

[Maniac]

Indeed. But now I see them, they are still quite large and would probably be quite deformed when shrunk.

[Jamski]

Very nice with MoO3 blue

SO DON'T CHANGE THEM ANYMORE I'M HAPPY NOW!!!!!!!

Did you get that

Why not go with the ones with a transparent background? That way no matter what style you're using to view the forums, you'll still be able to enjoy them without a background?

/me doesn't use MOO3 because he likes things as they are...

[Method]

ok, whatever. i'll make a few more background colours and maybe have a poll or something.

[Maniac]

Why not go with the ones with a transparent background?

MarkG told TKG transparency wasn't allowed.

[Method]

actually he said

1) i think they would look better with a background rather than transparency

i guess i misquoted him in my other post

[Maniac]

So transparency is actually allowed? In that case I'd say: "Ignore Markos' advice!"

[Drogue]

What is the different colour-schemes? I use SMAC something something, because that was all I played when I started here, but are any better?

[Maniac]

Try Default-Ultra-Special-MoO3.

[Method]

they're all the colours of the sections (like http://apolyton.net/smac http://apolyton.net/moo3 )
moo3 is blue, CtP2 is yellow, civ3 is (a very disgusting shade of) green, and i think markos is considering making a RoN style.
