Desktop background and theme

You mean to periodically animate a wallpaper that's rotating (counter)clockwise?  One way would be to edit it each a capture of a picture and then save it as a .gif, but that's tedious.

And uses a lot of CPU on a XP system.

Been modifying some things

How did you do that?

[Soyabeaner]

CSS + Opera Content Blocker & Site Preferences (with the help of Firefox's Firebug add-on to find those pesky element names, which still took forever).  I can upload my custom css file if you're curious.  I expanded the table widths to 100% instead of the lousy default of 50%

Unfortunately, one the most challenging aspects of choosing the correct background image is due to factors such as the cut-offs.  See the difference between the two.  Since the font colours (particularly your fav red ) are fixed, one must choose a background that's both light and doesn't have a pattern that varies too much.

How did you know I like red? 

Anyway, I happen to like how it all looks right now.    Though what you have done looks quite cool.

Thanks.  I just wish the admin would invent more forum themes

I know mods/admins can change their own themes, if installed (at least on SMF 2), but can normal users?

[Soyabeaner]

I thought you'd never ask (so I can show off that I figured a way to override any website's font colours )

Well, there used to be a way but the admin disabled the ability to modify the forum theme to even mods due to a certain mishaps

I meant that the normal user can change their own theme (and only they see the change), not the default for all others. 

Sounds like that could be an interesting story.

I know what you meant .  There really used to that function for any body to change the forum theme for their own account view.

So what were the "mishaps" then if it was only on a personal basis?

I was locked out of my account

And somebody followed to try

I think there were 8 of us locked out with this theme.

If you really want to read about it.

That would be me, after soya told me that I could change the theme... (In the time I still trusted him  )

I thought it was quite funny to read that topic.
