Increase image size
« on: January 01, 2010, 10:06:28 PM »
   The theme i am trying to use has a large (1600x250) .jpg near the top. It doesn't match the idea of my forum so i need to replace it. I found some pics on the internet but they are much smaller. I went to a website that re-sizes images like .jpg but the image was very blurry and unusable after the resizing was finished. Has anyone found out how to successfully do this?.

                                                            Thanks!

You can resize images using a variety of photo-editing software like Photoshop, Gimp, Corel, Paint Shop, etc., but if you're talking about making a smaller image larger, you'll always have some problem with pixelation.  You can resize a large image to a smaller size without this problem, but you can't do the opposite.  You'll also have problems if you try to change the dimensions of an image. 

What you might have to do is create a new image using the image you want to use as a portion of that new, larger image and do your best with that.  I'm sure I or someone else here could help you out with that if you like.

   Hi and thanks!

  The more i played around with the theme i was going to use, the more it bothered my eyes. So i'll have more to ask when i decide on another theme.

   Okay, back already with another theme  :dnc

 But would like to make some changes:

1 - would like the sides to come in some to match the blue border along the top

2 - the white background is just to bright. Is there a way i can make it a darker white?

3 - of course, the banner/header - whatever it is called that i made and actually like it very much, is now to big. Not length wise but too high to fit so i would need a way to find the measurements of the header area and hopefully make my banner smaller. And of course get rid of the "my community" up there.

  Here is the theme i want to use - anecdota_alt - http://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=793

Ok, a couple questions first:

What version of smf are you running?
Do you have that theme already installed on your forum?
If you do, can you give us a link to the forum?

Changing the background can be done in the style sheet. As for the banner can you not just resize it. ???

      Yes i can Bigguy, but i need to figure out the size of the forum header to know what size to make it.

    I'm using 2.0 RC2. Theme is installed. Here is a link to my site - http://www.tbredjkie.byethost15.com/index.php

  1 down as i managed to figure out how to bring the sides in to match the top border. Still working on the others.
