Welcome to the new BIP home!

[Halaster Blackcloak]

Just wanted to welcome everyone to the new home of the BIP Project...undermountain.org!

I'm going to be expanding the undermountain.org domain to include some specific new material, and I'll announce that as I get around to getting things up and running.

In the meantime, welcome back, and please post any ideas or suggestions you have.

As mentioned in PM, if anyone decides or likes to go with the Chronicles layout and colors, I recommend changing the input text colors to the golden colors used by the links at the top of this website. Black text is very difficult to read on this blue, stone textured background. FWIW.

Edit: Although, now that I've typed a reply, I see that the reply window in a thread is of a lighter colored blue....hmm.

The Chronicles template is the same one used at the Acaeum, and the only parchment style I could find. But I didn't want us to look like a clone of the Acaeum, so I took out that hideous wooden background for starters.

Then I figured I'd go with a more bluish parchment style, which is in tune with the paper used in the original Undermountain box set. I'm having trouble tweaking it though.

Are you seeing the same thing as me? My post backgrounds are lighter blue than yours. Are yours light blue or the same darker blue? I ask because the golden text idea views better on the darker blue background than on the lighter blue of my last post.

I had it set so it alternated with lighter and darker blues. I re-set to a gold them. Here's a link to screen caps of both the gold and the blue themes:





Personally, I'd prefer the blue, if I could get the font colors changed. What do the rest of you think?

I'm pretty sure if you take the saturation level down -50 in the blue background gif, you can get it looking fairly decent. I took the images above, and lowered the overall down to that and it looked a lot better to me. I'm pretty sure it's just a matter of toning down the color to make it work.

Yeah, it sure feels that way sometimes!
