This Gets Boring And Ugly

> I've been visiting this site for around a week now and at first i thought it was cool creating your own theme and all. But now it's just BORING i've seen them all and not a lot are being made i searched through the whole database looking for a light red skin thats wasnt ugly, could i find one? NO i would just like to ask all the skinners to make a light red skin that looks like xp corona and maybe a wallpaper too. i would be very gratefull

I'm all over the community skins, and quite frankly this is the worst request I have ever seen. I started skinning because I could not find what I liked. Maybe Snadd should start skinning.

Quite an interesting and mixed turnout. I did not say that all the skins where ugly just that some do get boring to see. but hey! i don't make em. all i wanted was a goddamn red skin thats size was bigger than 100k anything less than that then i'm sorry those skins lack detail and really are ugly. I think out of this whole experience only one person saw what i was meaning thank you very much, Adam Solley yes i do like your skin i can c alot of work has been put into it and if you could change i to light red i would be so greatfull thanks for all the interest though!. keep Those replies to YOUR message board cumin

Snadd...this message board is primarily for skinners and wall artists, etc....you know, ....the actual contributors to this site. What say you create a bigger than 100k red skin and end up doing 3 things.... actually contributing something yourself....successfully finding yourself a damn red skin...and ultimately in the process come to understand just exactly WHY people here are generally unimpressed with your request, opinion, and tone.

Perhaps in a few 'more' weeks coming to this site you might also like to reveal a little civility and appreciation for what is provided here for you freely.

Necessity is the mother of invention. 

All the skins are boring and/or ugly?

Fine.

Make your own. Others did and do.

Personally I get tired of the 'ME' generation....."gimme, gimme, gimme"

I have it on a server right now, only I do have some problems with the frames. let me hijack this threat hehe...

I am trying to get it centered on the page, but when I rescale it, I want it to move to the left too, so its always in the middel. I did this by putting it in a table, so when you are rescaling the table moves among. Now a table dasn't have the function to make an image as a background file, so I have to put the text over it in a text layer. Now when I had done this, and rescaled it, the table did move, but the text layer not. I wrote some java script for this, but things are still a little bit messy. I will try to put it online, and the downloads on a server, so I don't have to have my server online 24/7. My upload spead is kind of slow too, the 280 kb of images loads in 3 seconds!

Why do these people think that skinners have time for their "free" personal requests. Don't they realize the time it takes to create a skin? Don't they realize that time is money? Or do they think that somehow they own the skinners and that the skinners are their slaves that don't need compensation for their work? And, they aren't even really polite when they ask. It always sounds like a demand. They aren't grateful when they get all of these free skins and they just complain. Well, I agree with most in this thread, "DO IT YOURSELF". And, see the work involved. And, then when you upload it, for free, and get the negative comments, see how it makes you feel. And once you realize the time involved, see how it makes you feel when some arrogant, unappreciative person asks you to make them one for free, and calls all the skins on this site, ugly or boring.>
Personally, I am an appreciative person. That said, I think the skins on this site are great and I thank the skinners for sharing them with me.

Styl, I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to do.
Are you trying to put an image always centered horizontally and vertically on the page, no matter
the size of the screen? If so something like this should do the trick:

<TABLE height="100%" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width="100%" border=0>
  <TR>
    <TD vAlign=center align=middle><IMG src="your_image.jpg"></TD>
  </TR>
</TABLE>

If I didn't understand what your problem is, well my apologies.
