The fanart test was in response to earlier requests for a fanart option. Now we can see what it would actually look like, and discuss.
Any other change like font size, wall enlarging, etc are due to usability improvements, arising from me testing the skin on a 40" LCD.
Hope everyone understands!
I think you're doing a good job keeping it "Weloized", the skin is coming along nicely.
As stated above, the 3d effect goes away when fanart is added .. perhaps if you just add it in the middle, and keep the top and bottom opaque. Something like this (quick mockup in gimp, but you get the point. God I hate that program):
With fanart in the middle:
Without fanart:
I stilll think it looks a bit weird with fanart, but imo it's better than having it across the top and bottom parts. It does add a little bit of life to the background, not just the same plain gray all over, but there's still something that makes me say no to fanart (for once, I personally like big fanarts, and therefore will not be using Welo, no offence. ).
And those are my .02.
Great job so far though, this will be a great skin once it's finished!
Hah, didn't know smileys are counted as images. Had too many, and got a "you've used 7 images..." error when posting. News to me. :anothersmileyface:
