Re: Signature background

Well it makes the signature stand out a bit which I am not sure is a good thing as the main thing is the post not the signature.

Re: Signature background

Hmm ... you might be right, Scribbller. I hadn't thought of that. I will think about it a little more and maybe make the signature background the same shade as the postbit. Therefore, it doesn't really stand out since it's one shade against the same shade of grey - it'll just have a little bevel effect border.

Re: Signature background

I decided to just use a standard line again, only not black this time, and use that nifty background I made for the post titles instead. What do you think?

Re: Signature background

Very Nice.

I thought I was going nuts a minute ago when my posts had different signature 'looks'

I agree with Scribbller about making the signature stand out, it would be a shame to take the focus away from the posts.

But the new background is pretty good and looks nice as background for the post titles.

SE (getting sick of writing Steveneven - especially as its not my name - might re register under my normal name, assuming dick is not a banned word around these parts..)

PS: See this post for more details on name choice...

Re: Signature background

Did you try using the background for the post title and the signature?

Re: Signature background

For awhile I tried using the background for the post title and the signature at the same time. In the end, I think I've settled on actually just the post title. When I was using it for both, it looked almost as if the content was a squished cookie. Hmm ... let's try it again and see!! :-D

Re: Signature background

LOL Personally I like it, but I guess for the mainstream it may be a bit much.
Me <== not mainstream
or should that be:
Me != mainstream

Re: Signature background

I am still pretty apprehensive about this, it just sticks the signature out with having a different background and a proper border, this background would look behind quoted test thogh and it also looks good behind the thread title.

Re: Signature background

I think I agree with Scribbller... it makes the signature stick out more than the actual post. The background is neat, but I think it's the wrong place for it. OR... what if you kept it but forced the signature box down a few lines so that there is more white space between the end of the post and the signature? I would just like more attention drawn to the actual post, I think.

I like the BG though... it's neat. Just not sure it's the right place for it.
