Looking for the perfect background? The ~Backgroundz Catalog v2.0 released!

Submitted by silverdragon on Thu, 20/08/2009 - 10:43am
Names, pictures, previews and descriptions of every active np background! See the catalog at: http://www.neopets.com/~backgroundz For you who saw version 1 will be pleased to know that version 2.0 features a nicer layout, a better navigation system, and of course the previews and descriptions. This is something I haven't seen any other page offer, so I hope you will all like it. Let me know what you think of it. What's good, what's bad and how can it be improved? At this time, the page hosting the nc backgrounds isn't ready - and probably won't be for a while - hence why the nc link is greyed out. But other than that everything should be there Feel free to bookmark it, or to link to it using the banner found at the bottom of the page to for easier future access. Thanks! Also, I've been told the navigation and previews are not working in Opera, and due to the restrictions of a petpage I'm afraid there's not much I can do about it. However, if you're using Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari or Google Chrome it should work fine :)

When Mel originally posted about this I said quite clearly i thought it would be cool but not something I would use myself. However I find it so handy to click all those previews, and quite fun too :*

Heh, but I also gave you more work... Wait until you see the code :* Someone suggested even bigger previews (like the size you get when you customize) which I think could be possible to do... That will have to wait for a bit though :P ___________ [color=gray]Chris, aka wushu_soldier[/color] [size=11][i]Sniper, maller, reseller Background shop of X-Mart Neomallers graphics designer[/i][/size]

"someone" suggested it?? I was the one saying that 300ish would be much nicer :* lol. But you had to be all perfectionist with layout having a 200 size preview! BTW, did you screenie them larger? That'd be a pain to rescreenie them all *lol*

No someone on one of my boards suggested it :o And them images would be way bigger than 300x300, more like 500x500 :P And unfortunately no, I did not... Bleh. ___________ [color=gray]Chris, aka wushu_soldier[/color] [size=11][i]Sniper, maller, reseller Background shop of X-Mart Neomallers graphics designer[/i][/size]

Screening like that would be a bit more awkward too, since I'd have to actually own all backgrounds myself... Since to get the current previews I had someone else attach the backgrounds that still needed screening to their invisible pet, but to make the large previews I'd have to borrow them. Unless I could make someone screen them for me LOL ___________ [color=gray]Chris, aka wushu_soldier[/color] [size=11][i]Sniper, maller, reseller Background shop of X-Mart Neomallers graphics designer[/i][/size]
