For whatever tech help anyone needs in general.

Thanks to Sushi, I have a new pic for my sig. Unfortunately, I have a problem in that the titles don't display well -- I played around with the colors and red is pretty much the best color to actually see the titles. However, it's still bloody hard to read. Anyone got tips on how to make it better? Both Sushi and I have seen these rectangular boxes around the titles, and while I haven't tried out whatever they are, Sushi has and they screw up his image.

Any help?

I don't know how they do it, but some people on these boards have crazy sigs. I just want those boxes that appear in the Non-Custom section to appear normally for my full sig. I'd venture to guess that some of those people custom make those outside of MAL's system, then update and upload them on their own, unless I'm really missing something.

I just find it better for me to make my list from scratch using GIMP (or Photoshop for you money/pirate***s), like what I did with the sig I'm using now. I am not a fan of the sig generator built into MAL for the greater difficulty of coordinating the proper text colors.

Or you can just take it apart and seperate it into 4 parts. V

As in break the backround into 3 parts. Top, bottom, and side. Choose the other option from making your sig list. Host the individual pieces on imageshack or whatever and paste them in the order they fit in.

I've got one finished...but I don't think it'll work...

EDIT: It didn't, but I changed it around a bit. This will work for now, but I can't say I'm satisfied.

What do you think of the new custom sig they released? Looks like being pretty decent but I have to stick with using this type to get it under 50k so I can sig it on Suki.

http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=12376

Can add a background for the My Recently watched box as well as make the bars transparent. I need to bust out my copy of photoshop and dust off these skills I have and make a kick ass sig. I'm thinking of using the very last scene from the Code Geass ED.

Here's a good example





I must be pasted this wrong but you get the idea about how much better the transparency makes it.

I just messed around with the transparency and I like the result of my new signature. Maybe not as nice as the one above, but I never learned how to make those fancy effects in Photoshop.

Yeah, the four parts of your sig picture are all coming out on one line, like this:

A...B...C...D

What you want is for them to come out on three separate lines, like this
A
B...C
D

I'm not enought of an expert on the way the sigs work her to tell you what to change to fix it, but it looks pretty bad the way it is.

I tried making a sig, but even though I did succeed in making something half bad I still have this problem of not seeing the background of the MAL chart if I don't refresh the page.
i.e.

Does anyone else see my sig this way?

I'm on firefox since v1.0 (or v1.5...).
I guess if you all see it fine I won't break my head about it.
Though I still need to make something else for my sig, I don't like it :(.

If you are using photoshop goto:
Filer>Save for Web, make it JPEG, and then there you can lower the quality of this picture to keep the size down.

TBH, Groove, it's so light, it's a bit hard to see, but it's definitely there. Anyway, I updated mine with a Gunbuster image, featuring the lovely Noriko and Gunbuster standing in the background.
