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 :)

Hehe, thanks guys I'm glad you like it. I have received very nice feedback so far :) The only flaw I've come across so far is if one were to start clicking the previews before all the pictures have loaded. Although it's not much of a problem anyway since it's solved by waiting a few seconds and click again :) I could speed things up by converting the previews to gif or png, but hey, we all like good quality stuff B) And Mel :o I did put a thank you note on the page :o But size 50, pfft :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, it's so pretty! :) Very organized, and the colours are smart. I have to say though, I have a problem with the header for the navigation and preview and description. grrr I just hate that font, (comic sans I think). But that's just me. But I'm confused about the use of the preview and description part; there never seems to be anything there. ???? Maybe I'm not reading something...?

You did a good job, though I had to squint a little to read the small font, but it looks great!
