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 :)

I have a little piece of code to put on yoru pet lookup and you can make the pet show up as large as you want. If that helps? Like you were screenie-ing another pet on his pet lookup ?

No, my plan is to keep the current 200x200 preview, but upon hovering over THAT image the 500x500 would pop up (in the center of the screen, covering everything LOL) It's a bit complicated, but I can't use an invisible div of that size since it would make the rest of the page unusable :P ___________ [color=gray]Chris, aka wushu_soldier[/color] [size=11][i]Sniper, maller, reseller Background shop of X-Mart Neomallers graphics designer[/i][/size]

Oh yeah, I've seen that before... Hmm, I suppose that could work... I do some screening of my own to find out the actual size of the image and ask this person to edit their lookup to show up at that size. Very complicated, but yes, it could work :) ___________ [color=gray]Chris, aka wushu_soldier[/color] [size=11][i]Sniper, maller, reseller Background shop of X-Mart Neomallers graphics designer[/i][/size]

Ooh I see. that works too (to preview the preview) You could just make them have it be like 600px or something huge and then resize to smaller if you want it smaller :P And here is the code [quote]< style / > #CustomNeopetView {height:450px;width:450px}< /style / >[/quote]

Thanks! And yeah, that could work too Mel :) Anyway, that's for the future. The BC will stay like it is now for a while :P ___________ [color=gray]Chris, aka wushu_soldier[/color] [size=11][i]Sniper, maller, reseller Background shop of X-Mart Neomallers graphics designer[/i][/size]

Wow, what a great page. Very nice. One of these days I'll do a catalog for my shop.

Very nice-looking and easy to use catalog. I just went to take a peek at the page and ended up clicking on most of the backgrounds just to see the preview. It was fun! And none of the ones I clicked on didn't work, so yay for a fully-functioning page.
