Why is there no wallpaper on the Clash site?

[Lumpkin]

The current grey background is really horrible and off-putting. Please change the wallpaper to white!

[Mark_Everson]

Hmmm. You're the first to complain. I've been looking for a grey-tone wallpaper but haven't found anything I like yet...

I'm accomodating, What do others think? Should I just use browser-default rather than setting the color?

I'm reluctant to take action now lumpkin, since we might soon have some cool wallpaper relating to our upcoming demo and artwork.

Wallpaper? Nooo! - Nor do I have such a gimmick. Why bother with longer download of the site for a questionable benefit?
I despite the hype of megs of graphics and animation for websites. They just cover the thin content and take long to build up in the browser.
But you could design a logo for Clash. I would be the first to embed it on my link-page.

I don't think I mean wallpaper actually. I just think it would be a lot kinder on the eye if you changed the background to white with this simple line, requiring no extra download time:

""

Okay, the line is refusing to appear, I'll try it without the > and the <:

"body bgcolor=#FFFFFF"

I Know how to change the color... I just like the light gray. If everyone wants white I'll change it. Its a shame browsers don't allow you to overrided background colors easily. At least I don't know how to do it.

I'd rather it was white, Mark. Thanks.

Honestly, I hadn't noticed until now. I don't really care, do whatever you want... So just to make things interesting, I'll vote for grey.
Hey, this smiley is really cool:
don't remember seeing that one before!

[wombat42]

I find it funny that there are two different "Lumpkins," one with a capital "L" and one with a lowercase, and they're both from different cities.

Oh, here's another cool one!

And what exactly was the point of dredging up this Hopelessly out of date thread?

Please do not dredge up old threads in the future unless it realates to ongoing discussion of the project.

This discussion is now over for good.
