Absolute Madness [v5 Template]

[Becca]

Absolute Madness has been updated to the new PB version. Download includes all graphics (including percentage), all necessary codes, a color listing and my instruction file. Please note that at this time, I will not be taking color change requests for this template. In time I may do other hues, but for now, this is the only one. Enjoy!

In a single word: WOW!


And may I say that I love the hover effect you used in this skin. Absolutely beautiful.

Whhhoooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaa......

B-R-A-V-O!

And as Rad pointed out, the hover effect. That's the first time I've seen that kind of effect! It's really amazing! x3

Another nice one Becca!
And BTW everyone, that hover effect is easily done with CSS.
Just put a background value on the hover for links.

How so?

Thanks so much everyone! This template turned out to be one of my favorites. The hover effect works best with a gif file that is somewhat transparent on the background....though if you use one with a background color and make it the same color as your forum's background, it can work nicely too. I really appreciate the compliments, thanks!

This is very important. The smileys that I created for this template are .apng files. That means that they are animated pngs instead of animated gifs.

I just wanted to point out that animated png images (apng) are NOT widely supported.
The only browsers that I know that does support this type of image is FireFox and Opera.
Internet Explorer will show the first frame of the animation. If someone is viewing with other unsupported browsers, I'm not sure if even a static image would show up. Hopefully this standard will catch on, since an animated png is FAR superior to an animated gif.
Just something to keep in mind...

Regards,
SubDevo

Quality Becca, thanks for the fab advice SubDevo

[Becca]

Thanks Macc. Yeah, SubDevo is right. apng files aren't very widely used, but I really wanted the smileys to work with this template. If anyone would like me to create the gif version, let me know and I'll get them to you. I, also, hope that they start using apng files more, because they put gifs to shame.

I second that.

It's beautiful, Becca. I am so happy to see you creating again. You are extemely talented

I learned something new, I didn't know there were animated png files.

[Becca]

Awww, thanks JJ. I live to hear such compliments, it keeps me going and wanting to create more and more.

Girl! You are a master. I have seen plenty of skins, but none done as professionly as what you do. You have so much detail - somehting I admire. Yes, there are some lovely skins out there, but you provide the tools to make it work and we don't wind up with a mess. Plus you are so helpful when someone gets lost trying to make one of your skins work. Bravo.

Hmmm... I think I'm going to give this a try on my test forum. Now I should choose the appropriate background. ;D Ehehehe..

Hmmm... I hope it doesn't cause conflict/s with the hover code I've been using.
