look, maybe I have ADD, hasn't that occurred to you? (Don't answer that.)

1) Recentchanges; 2) indeed the fancy stuff is clipped at 1024 and lower, and no, there's no assuming "most people are at 1280x720 or more" for the Main page; 3) there is a problem at ''any'' resolution as far as I can see (Opera), because Shinatama and the haiku overlap with each other and with other stuff (like the table's rightmost header), at 1600x1200 and lower; 4) two things? more like a dozen things, I'd say... quite impressive for a headless chicken ^_^... ; 6) really, what's wrong with the current Main page? --[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 02:16, 1 August 2008 (CEST) | 1) Recentchanges; 2) indeed the fancy stuff is clipped at 1024 and lower, and no, there's no assuming "most people are at 1280x720 or more" for the Main page; 3) there is a problem at ''any'' resolution as far as I can see (Opera), because Shinatama and the haiku overlap with each other and with other stuff (like the table's rightmost header), at 1600x1200 and lower; 4) two things? more like a dozen things, I'd say... quite impressive for a headless chicken ^_^... ; 6) really, what's wrong with the current Main page? --[[User:Geyser|geyser]] 02:16, 1 August 2008 (CEST) | ||
:1) Wow, I am stupid. I've actually never looked at that page before. Probably everything *but* that page. 2) Yes, I will have to fix the clipping before I can suggest using it as the Main page. 3) Hmm, I used Safari's Developer Mode to test the page with every major browser for both platforms, but it seems that I changed something a bit since my last compatibility check. In Firefox the haiku is not overlapping her, just close to touching her, which I wanted. I could simply pull it back a bit to the left, I guess. But Shinatama *is* supposed to overlap with the table. She shouldn't be blocking the words "FOR MODDERS", but she should be overlapping the table, which is why I went through the trouble of making a PNG with transparency for her. I keep vacillating between having her leg overlap the table, though, and having her stand above the table like before. 4) What can I say? I'm a little crazy. 5) There is no 5. We shall not speak of it again. 6) I didn't know if you were seriously asking before. Nothing major is wrong, but the layout is just a little... I don't know, lackluster. My version was actually going to have other graphics sprucing things up a bit, if I could just get Shinatama positioned right. But also I felt there was too much [[wikipedia:Copy (written)|copy]] on the page and wanted to lighten its load (I even took out the Site Map link because I think the page is not very useful and I don't feel like updating its contents when the main page is working well for me now, so I'd like to just kill my old "Main Page"). Honestly, I wasn't going to spend nearly this much time on a new Main Page, I just wanted to remove the text I thought was unnecessary -- but when I did so, Shinatama was pushing the table down because the text no longer gave her enough vertical space, so I starting trying to integrate her with the table and one thing led to another. Oh well, back to the trailer ^_^' --[[User:Iritscen|Iritscen]] 02:48, 1 August 2008 (CEST) | |||
