Calling all Web Designers

Creatix made a wonderful design, but sadly the content boxes for his design just won't repeat correctly without the dots bumping into each other, or not repeating the same, etc. It'd be amazing if it didn't have to stretch, but it does. So I need something for the content.

 

I have 6 days off coming up, and plan to try and spend em on SSCentral, and doing some other minor things I need to complete.

 

Creatix made time to finish the design in trade of some coding work, but I haven't had a PC capable of doing it or time to do it. But I'm just going to try and make it work by coding in notepad, and having a friend compile it for me for that issue (yes, this machine is THAT fried). But his free time is limited to none also, so fixing the issue isn't in his hands.

 

If anyone can do this, I'd be VERY GREATFUL. I can provide the PSD and everything, and the PSD still has the current content boxes. Or for visuals see: http://www.m33p.de/sscentral2.jpg for the design as was. If someone can come up with a solution the issue i'm having, that'd be even better.

 

Thanks.

A good place to ask if you are running out of support for this kind of stuff would be some HTML/Designing/Help channels in irc.gamesurge.net.

I don't get what you mean by "...without the dots bumping into each other, or not repeating the same, etc. It'd be amazing if it didn't have to stretch, but it does. So I need something for the content."

 

Can you show an example of this?

[Synook]

I think what he means is that the content boxes that go beneath the menu and stuff (not shown at http://www.sscentral.com/polix/ but there are some on the image at http://www.m33p.de/sscentral2.jpg ) are not stretching to fit the area they are supposed to properly, and that the border is repeating itself over two lines. Am I right? Edited May 15, 2007 by Synook

Creatix said he'd do it.

 

The issue is the dots repeating in the background. When you do it, unless you set a fixed size for the content box(es) sometimes the dots won't space right. So it looks kind of re!@#$%^&*ed, and text I found is a tad bit of a pain to read on it sometimes. I had figured of just putting a semi transparent box overlay for behind the text, but the dots just won't repeat right for me to do it. And without the dots, it looks just, weird. I dunno, doesn't look as good, as they kind of gave the box the feeling.

 

http://www.m33p.com/sscentral.jpg - I like how the news posts could have icons and stuff, and how content sections could be devided into boxes. So as nice as the extravagant looked, just really need something more simplistic to go with it.

The lack of symmetry on the center box and the left box bugs me...

[Synook]

Also, one thing to keep in mind - Alpha Transparency does not work in Internet Explorer 6...

[CreatiX]

 

transparency for what?

Its just a photoshop effect, the browser is just gonna load a normal .jpg ?!

well you can cut the dot and turn it into a bg image and make it tiled.
