Pic a template you like. The type template you pic will dictate the size of the banner. Then send me the pics you like and what you hope for it to look like, idea on type of font etc. I'll be happy to come up with something for you to consider.Freakzilla wrote:If you want to take a shot at a custom theme that would be great, or maybe just a banner.

Don't forget to ask if I can help.
I've heard you mention your wife is good with images, so maybe she can do some to. Then maybe you can put it up to a vote on which banner is the best.
I looked today at all my fav template sites and found nothing that I felt worthy for a Dune forum. You may have to pay a bit for a nice one. I can't do templates from scratch, but I can damn sure change em around.
So if you find a template that almost works, but if only this or that were different. More than likely, I can alter it. But you are denying yourself the fun of doing it trial and error on your own. ( Similar in feeling to giving yourself a labotomy )
You have to do the research for yourself tho I'm sorry to say. You are the boss here, you know what you like, you have to decide. (Kinda sucks the air outta of it eh?) I looked at hundreds and hundreds of templates while trying to find one I liked for Haven. I couldn't allow you to miss on that experience.

I'll work on it. I really do want to do one myself from scratch. But if anyone out there wants to take a crack at one I'll look at it. Not saying I'll use it...

When I saw it I immediately thought of pilingitam:
In the time of the Old Empire and even under the reign of Muad'dib, the region
around the Gammu Keep had been a forest reserve, high ground rising well above
the oily residue that tended to cover Harkonnen land. On this ground, the
Harkonnens had grown some of the finest pilingitam, a wood of steady currency,
always valued by the supremely rich. From the most ancient times, the
knowledgeable had preferred to surround themselves with fine woods rather than
with the mass-produced artificial materials known then as polastine, polaz, and
pormabat latterly: tine, laz, and bat). As far back as the Old Empire there
had been a pejorative label for the small rich and Families Minor arising from
the knowledge of a rare wood's value.

Doesn't seem out of place to me.
I plan to eventually have a few to choose from.

I like Aeolus, using it now.
It's good that it has instantly recognizeable "new posts" symbols, I hate when you have to squint to see if this pixel means there've been new posts or not, like in some profiles I've seen over the net.
Always use colors contrasting the theme for new posts I say.

In memory of Perach, who suffered and died needlessly.
I wish I could have been with you that one last time.
