Here's my new layout.

Yeah, it might look a little weird sometimes because this is a 1024x760 image.

I should give credit to this site:
http://maxpayne.gamevision-network.de/wallimp/wall2a.jpg
That's where I found it.

Yeah, right now I'm been playing Max Payne like crazy ever since I got both of the Max Payne games 2 weeks ago in Las Vegas that I bought for $20 that I didn't earn, yeah you heard me. Well, I felt like changing my layout to the first loading screen of Max Payne 1 before the title screen.

Feel free to post any comments about it, just don't spoil the game for me because I haven't started this second one yet but I'm very close on beating the first one.

P.S. What I meant when I didn't earn the money is that I found the $20 on the ground in some store.

It looks pretty nice. Only thing is, when the text is so long that it goes over the glare on Max's forehead. You can't read it at all because both colors are white. Other than that it doesn't look that bad. Kinda plain seeing as it is just a background image tho.

I agree that white text won't work with this layout. I'm trying to change the text colors but I don't know how.

Use HTML, its easy:

HEADER:
<font color="#$$$$$$">

SIGGY:

</font>

Change the "$" to numbers (or a color name) and it will change all your text to that color. That make sense? Hopefully.

Thanks for your help. It's now blue. You think that's a good color or should I change it to something else?

Now you can't really read any of it. Do this:

HEADER:

<b><font color="#CCCCCC" size="3">

SIGGY:

</font></b>

As you can see, the code given above will look gray like that. That way it will show up on white, black, and red.

Your text is really hard to read, whether it's blue or white..
Actually, I don't really see any color working with that background. Maybe alter the image or something..

I tried the code but the text has made it a bigger and is white again. I'll have to agree with Danielle and alter the background. I'll search for more on the internet.

The code was meant to make the text bigger, but it isn't pure white like before. It is a slight shade of gray. But yes, it is still kinda hard to read. You could always use a table to the left and make your text stay the the left kinda like my layout if you wanted. Or just a new picture like you mentioned. Iif you really wanted to keep that pic, then go with the table idea. I may beable to help you with that if I remember how tables work and everything...

You know, the only problem is the guy's forehead. The light gray works nicely everywhere else, but when it gets to the white of his forehead, you can't read it. That would work otherwise. You're still posting with it, and it's difficult to read. Are you going to do anything with it? I don't want to block it man.

Maybe you should use a transparent table... Don't know if that'll help, but, it's worth a try. Looks decent to me...I really don't find much of a problem with it.

Nice work.

You know what would solve everything? If there was an HTML/css code that would make an outline around each text letter. That would just be great.

Another way to make the layout better would be to make the image darker. Just open it up in PS, PSP, IV whatever you want and change the brightness. Make the image darker, and the text lighter. You want to have contrast.

I just highlight text on layouts where I can't see it very well so it doesn't bother me...It seems to bother others alot tho...

Uh, I still don't get how to make the image darker. Can you help me? It would be nice if you had step by step directions because I'm kind of a slow learner sometimes.

Edit: Forget this. I decided I'm having no layout and header (I used a header on one of the posts) because Yoshi Dude hurt my feelings.

I thank all the people that reply for giving me ideas, you know who you are.

Anyway I already contacted an admin. Switzerland will take care of this. There's no point in this thread if I got rid of the "new layout".
