It's your turn, fellow Rucksters, to help shape the future of our beloved Ruckus Central forums!
This is your chance to give your input as to what kind of background image you think should be on the site... There will probably be several different layouts you can choose from. One will be this, old skool one. I'm going to experiment with a Ruckus Wallpaper for one, too...
But ideas are in need for others. Landscapes and such are good ideas, since there will be a big block of forum blocking your full view. Any monuments, or places, or even pictures you have, let me know. ;D

I think that's awesome! I'll give it a test go so more people notice it and share their opinions!

Would yellow work on the bar? Or would it wash out some icons?

Hey, the light grey forground with the wine bar looks good! The only thing is that it's a bit similar to TotalRuckus.com. This looks is deep red and light grey and their look is white, light grey and bright red. |

Well it's very readable....I still like the wine better but I don't mind this. I think ideally the wine would be more of a medium red but then we'd really be cramping TotalRuckus's bright red.

One thing to keep in mind is that it kinda needs to match our Ruckus Central logo at the top which is why red kinda works good. If someone wanted to they could revamp our logo but I don't really have the skillz for that.

I was think of the Yellow Ruckus when I suggested it. Yes very readable. That brown kind of slammed me in the face when I first open the site. Awful feeling.

Yeah sorry about that! It's a work in progress. This bright red looks okay but it's SO TotalRuckus

Red is a no-go, way to much like TotalRuckus!

Dark Grey?

I don't know why because the old Tokyo background was super cluttered but this new looks seems a bit busy. I'd light this site to look a bit let cluttered and a bit less dark than the old look.

This dark grey with the same background but in black and white might be cool. I'll try that...

Okay I'll leave it in 2 tone grey for a while to get more a general reaction. I don't have photoshop on this computer at school so I can't try the B & W background but if you or someone else wants to open the background pic file and convert it to black and white I'll give it a shot.
It might look a little boring in B/W though...it might be cool to have a similar background but use modified Ruckus/Zoomers and then it would still look cool in B/W/

Everything shows up good against the two greys. And the fixed background is a winner!

Yeah the fixed is cool! Thx to Kami for suggesting that.

I try.
If you have an idea for a change to the logo, give me an idea, and I'll take a shot at it, too. ;D
