Background

IXNAY · 03-28-2003, 02:07 AM

Hey, I would just like to start a thread about the background.
So Jim, you're not going to make a backgroundscene after the forebackground right? The brightblue will stay, or are you planing to add more colours?
It would be cool if the backgroundcolour is selectable in addition to the "automatic lights", well set chooseable a colour to start with wich fades to black and back. Can you add that feature, I would be very pleased and others too I think

If that's not interesting discuss other backgroundrelated stuff here

Just to impose my comments a bit..

I know that in the chat (which you can't read about cause the logs aren't up

) Jim said he had all of the popular freshwater-type photographic backgrounds that people buy sitting on a desk somewhere and none of them really appealed to him.

Yeah I know, he said it the forums a couple of times too

I am considering letting the user choose the background colors. I suspect that after trying a thousand ugly combinations (as I have done) most people will migrate back to the default colors.

Hmmm ok, and backgroundscenes behind the background will never be there too right?

Jim Sachs · 05-25-2003, 11:13 AM

Correct.

Hm ok

but I'm sure the background will be great.
will the plants be better than the goldfish ones?
