ok a second attempt - and third and fourth and... - Pbcrazy - 02-05-2008
ok ive been messing with this border and i finally put a grunge thing in the middle, albeit it prolly sucks but tell me what i need to do to fix it. i plan on using this as the background for my game engine. or at least a varient of this.

Re: ok a second attempt - Soyokaze - 03-05-2008
It's a black quadrilateral.
Re: ok a second attempt - Pbcrazy - 03-05-2008
ehh it not supposed to be black just dark, it looks fine on my screen but idk ill make it lighter give me a sec
[Edit]Can its brighter now, but ill prolly change the green it doesnt go good with the background
Re: ok a second attempt - Dr. Spoon - 04-05-2008
looks pretty decent i agree change the green..
their monitors may not be as bright as yours..
Re: ok a second attempt - Soyokaze - 04-05-2008
I upgraded to a 21" wide-screen LCD today, actually.
It puts out more light than my lamp... hah. My poor eyes. 
I can see the picture much more clearly, however. 
Re: ok a second attempt - Pbcrazy - 04-05-2008
ahh good you all can finally see it. i think ill change the green border right now. but hmmm to what?
[EDIT] ok here we go i just went with the original border i made and i brightened up the center some.
[Edit2] ok i lightened up the center for those of you who have dark screens for some strange reason lol jk
[Edit3] ok for the third time i have brightened it, so now it is 80% brighter than the original. i also left the last one for those of you who have "extreme" bright settins like me, wont look at it and think it looks like crap cuz its so bright(its supposed to be dark)

Re: ok a second attempt - shaded - 04-05-2008
The second one is dark on my computer. I can see the first fine. It looks good. Keep updating us.
Re: ok a second attempt - Pbcrazy - 04-05-2008
Whats dark in the second one is it just the center cuz that looks a little dark to me too?
Re: ok a second attempt - shaded - 04-05-2008
I see the borders are different, but I can't even see the background in the second one. But the first one I can.
Re: ok a second attempt - Pbcrazy - 04-05-2008
oh ok ill fix it sry
Re: ok a second attempt - Rian - 04-05-2008
I can see the second one just fine. Though, my monitor's brightness is as high as it can go. You know, for those particularly dark counterstrike maps

Same ;D
Re: ok a second attempt - Pbcrazy - 04-05-2008
k its updated
Re: ok a second attempt - shaded - 04-05-2008
Slightly better. Still dark for me. I gave up CS long ago :-) though I do miss it.
Re: ok a second attempt - Pbcrazy - 04-05-2008
ehh well if i go any lighter it will look all wacked up. so i guess all you can do is brighten your screen. sry.
im trying to decide what style of buttons i want to put on it.
Re: ok a second attempt - GIAKEN - 05-05-2008
Who cares if it's messed up or not if nobody can see it...
Re: ok a second attempt - Rian - 05-05-2008
Just a general tip, you should let your monitor auto-adjust before you make graphics. If it doesn't have an auto-adjust, put everything on 50%. Only people with really bright settings are gonna see that box. And not many people have their settings set so...extreme.
Re: ok a second attempt - Pbcrazy - 05-05-2008
lol mine are already at 50%, but ill make another brighter box anyway for those of you who can see it yet
Re: ok a second attempt - Tony - 05-05-2008
I don't really like this one.
Imo, the border is just too big.
Re: ok a second attempt - Pbcrazy - 05-05-2008
ok, does anyone else think this if so ill change it
Re: ok a second attempt - GIAKEN - 05-05-2008
The border is way too big. Make it a 4 pixel border...and make it red.
Re: ok a second attempt - Pbcrazy - 05-05-2008
hmmmm ok maybe like a darker red like the blood splatters. plus ill make a new border with the gray to just so you guys can compare
