Post by: $mooth on June 12, 2012, 13:31
Hey,
i've seen some sweet signs on this forums.
And this aint a qustion about design.

But...
Some of you got kind of "big signs" with a background and the cvt sign in it.
How the heck did you guys/girls do that?

When i'm trying to do it, it wont work, says only 700x100pix is allowed.

[div style=""][/div] and [span style=""][/span], for the 'style' attributes use inline CSS just like in regular HTML.

http://w3schools.com/css/ - css references / tutorials
http://w3schools.com/css3/ - newest css version, however it only works for some browsers and animations / transitions are not allowed.

A rough example, don't use this exact code as it's a bit tall for a signature:
(http://www.convoytrucking.net/makesig.php?id=10039)
[div style="background-color:white; background-image:url('http://www.backgroundsppt.net/uploads/soft-white-backgrounds-wallpapers.jpg'); padding-top: 90px; padding-bottom: 90px; text-align:center; background-size:cover; background-repeat: no-repeat; background-position: center center;"][img style="box-shadow: 0px 1px 3px black;"]http://www.convoytrucking.net/makesig.php?id=10039[/img][/div]

"Joshy only tells people he wants to im pretty sure..." - you're right. CSS can get fairly complex so I'm not going to waste my time teaching you every single thing. I'm just gonna' give you the
bbcodes and a copy of the CSS reference and see how you figure it out.

In case you're wondering, yes my signature does have a random background, powered by a script on my web server.
