New Logo

We have a new logo, courtesy of Patrice Terrier. Thanks very much, Patrice!

There is a problem with Internet Explorer (of course, there is always a problem with this browser, isn't it?), that doesn't honor the transparency of the PNG image and renders the background as gray.

Transparency is needed because the color of the forum can be changed by clicking one of the small colored bars.

New logo looks perfect,

in Firefox 2.0.0.6 it is displayed as it should, IE ... has its own way to draw it

.
Is it problem also in version 7.0 of IE ( I have 5.5, just for ftp access ) ?

Thanks,
Petr

In IE 6 it doesn't render properly.

IE7 XPSP2
All is ok here.

Very nice, but seeing how incredible you guys are, I would like to see those gears turn

Looks very nice, I use firefox.

Patrice did all of my PlanetSquires art work. That guy has talent!

Theo Gottwald · August 03, 2007, 08:24:30 AM

No doubt, but I'd prefer a sollution as transparent ".gif" which renders on IE 6 also.

Kent Sarikaya · August 03, 2007, 08:30:52 AM

This is how it looks in firefox which it is working fine in.

Time is changing, we are not anymore on compuserve (GIF)

Do yourself a favor, upgrade to IE7 (the current standard), it is free, it is much better than 6 and it handles PNG just fine and even better than FireFox (resizing with antialising)

As an alternative, you can choose another theme.

Click "Profile", then "Modify Profile-->Look and Layout Preferences". In the profile dialog, you will see "Current Theme: Forum or Board Default (change)". Click "change" and select a theme. The one called "Cityscape" has already the template modified to show the code as you like.

Patrice's new Logo works very nicely in Konqueror which is part of the KDE desktop suite, used in many Linux distributions. - my favourite browser at present.

>Do yourself a favor, upgrade to IE7 (the current standard),

Actuall I am still developing under W2k.
Besides I am using my IE6 Buttonbar
which only works on IE 6. Because it give me a lot of advantages I do not want to switch to IE 7 actually.

As you can see here, 37% of all surfers still have the IE 6.

Therefore the point is not me, but a professional designed web-site should be designed to work for all types of browsers.

You should tell it to Microsoft

Try to use msdn2 with a browser other than IE.

Ok, then I see why you love so much PowerBASIC

Note: I did this logo as a way to say thank you to José for all his hardwork,
but it is not a problem for me if, he or you, restore the previous one.

And whatever choice is yours, I will still contribute there

Gruss aus frankreich

Be sure that I wont tell Jose how he should design his forum.
What I say is just my opinion as It-Consultant.

The Logo is definitely nice, its not a design question, but a usability problem,
if you rule out more then 2% of possible users.

My idea was to use the same (or slightly adapted) Logo as ".gif" as izt seems that transparent .gif's are more compatible.
