For those who have their browsers set to not update their cache very often, you should update it now on Omnimaga. After using Master Jc's Omnimaga: The Coders Of Tomorrow banner for almost 4 years and only slightly modifying it in August 2008, we have decided to update the site with a brand new one that reflects more our actual projects and major products. It was quite hard to fit as many projects and products as possible in it, though, since I tried to make it 1024x768-friendly (web standards). In it you'll find everything from F-Zero to Illusiat 13 as well as some characters and monsters from various RPGs, Calc84maniac TI-Nspire stuff and... er... Netham45.

UPDATE: I have changed the forum theme a little to match the new banner. Unfortunately, because of SMF limitations and glitches, it seems like we'll have to stick to one single theme, though. Sorry to people who prefered the old banner and theme . You may need to CTRL+R (or CTRL+F5) again to see the changes, though.

sweet! I like it!
we should probably try to update the theme to a bit of a darker colour to match the banner.

Awesome

yes I think it is 0.o

Hmm, yeah...I like the theme too, but if we just changed the colours up to be a bit darker then it would fit the banner and it wouldn't be too different.

Very nice. Definitely reflects the spirit of the TI gaming community more than the old banner.

On a completely humble note: If you want to use any designs or maps from Escheron in site banners or propaganda, you're welcome to do so. I don't mind at all.

Unfortunately, I finally couldn't fit everything in the banner so I left out community projects, otherwise, E:SoR, CaDan and some other staff projects as well as TLM would probably have made it. I was even planning to re-include some of the old TI RPGs from the archives, like one of our older banner we had in 2005 and early 2006.

There will most likely be a video of E:SoR, though. I'm just (impatiently) waiting for battle animated screenies

To awnser Eeems, I had thoughts about this. The theme would most likely remain similar, though, but it would probably have darker colors. In this case, the old one would be kept as alternate theme, though, for those who don't like dark themes or themes with high contrast.

It's certain this light theme would remain as option, though. The theme we had on the old board was a bit darker and certain people stated this as a reason why they didn't sign up on the site.

As for Art Of Camelot request, unfortunately, we have to live with web standards. Today, the standard is 1024x768 and 1280x1024. Most people still have 4:3 or small displays, meaning I have to make sure the banner will display completly on such resolutions. The price to pay is that on larger resolutions, there will be empty spaces on each sides. Your screenshot (which I removed due to a 500 internal server error caused by an attachment resizer bug) indicated that you didn't refresh your cache, though, with CTRL+R (or CTRL+F5), because the old binary background still seemed to show. It's supposed to be a black bg, now. The banner is also supposed to be centered. It looks much better with the black background, centered, than with the gray one, even on my 1920x1080. (For those who missed the request it was in the post editing box in his attachment)

Iambian: yup it is ^^

Also btw I made the banner. TsukasaZX and Aaroneusthegreat wanted to help at first but I wanted to give it a try myself because I haven't done any banner in ages. As for the previous banner, I liked it because it fitted the theme well, but it only had one single calc-related element, which was a 83+, and it felt weird because it showed a RAM Cleared message (we still have a similar pic, though, but there's so much calc stuff in the banner now that we won't focus as much on it )

well I removed the screenshot since the topic broke due to the attachment glitch. I had the same thing happen in the desktop topic once

looks good .

btw:  what is that weird polygon-thing in the left of OMNIMAGA?
