As I do not want to do big updates without asking everyone, plus I want a voice of opinion, I am here doing a blog post about some ideas I have.
Background
So I know many are asking about the background and changing it so it can be easier to read. Trust me, I have my own problems editing here and there too. Seeing as the current background has last updated on January of 2017, we deeply do need an update.
I have been working on it for awhile now, mostly thinking of ideas on what to put on it. Now I have a primilary edit (I am not completely done with it but it is enough to give a visual aid) but I need opinion as to what to fully do.
Here is what I done so far:
My idea of it mostly was the colors that extend throughout is of the main characters' hair colors. The 2 rows between it is symbolic things we all can recognize from the series, 1st row being mostly signs and the 2nd row being objects (and where I did not finish, the mascots: Anpu, Saiki as his cat form, Koriki No. 2, and Warp.)
I initially thought of filtering the character's into where their color represents and be done with it, well I mean I still could if the idea sounds good to you, but then I checked out the previous backgrounds before the current one and fanart/edits and it gave me more ideas.
(The image is an older background version before the current one, honestly looks better, but that is my opinion.) I was thinking of having the top image around where the pink area is and a bit of the area outside where the characters are. I thought of having the anime images of the characters in the right side and the manga versions on the left. Or, to not be redundant, have the manga image and anime version side by side one another or it can be fully manga or fully anime.
With the new background, either way, the transparency background in the area for readng and editing will be altered to a light pink filter (to contrast the dark pink upper border) so it can be better to read and to edit on the visual editor.
Please tell me what you think, or if you have ideas of your own, I am very willing to listen. The change will not happen right away but hoping to change it around the upcoming month or so (or maybe a bit sooner, unsure yet.)
Other Updates
As for other updates, if you have seen my previous blog post (that I wrote before I became admin), I will end up changing the example pages for how to do certain pages that better reflect on how pages are currently done but also add some of those ideas too. (Yes there are example pages to make pages but they do need editing. if you were not in the know.)
Will also be adding newer custom badges that reflect more to the series and new pages soon too.
