All right, so when you guys log on, you'll probably have noticed that things are beginning to look at taaaaaad different. Well, long story short, I couldn't sleep, and between all the coffee and boredom, I started dusting off my coding skills (if you can even call them that), and playing around with the board.
I also figured out how to put a FREAKIN' YOUTUBE VIDEO as my icon. WOO!
Among the changes:
Smaller board tables so that it would work for the new layout.
New layouts (Ombra, Dark and Forbidden)
Youtube icons. So if you want one, here's what you do:
If you wanted to use the video at youtube.com/watch?v=FB2WUSvQStg then the url to the default thumbnail for that video would be img.youtube.com/vi/FB2WUSvQStg/2.jpg.
Set the height and width of the avatar as well since the video player will use those to define its own dimensions.
All you need to do is take the ID of the video (the red part) and plug it into the image url to get the thumbnail. You could also try 1.jpg and 3.jpg to see if you like those images better but Youtube always uses 2.jpg which is usually a snapshot from a keyframe located in the middle of the video.
More changes coming along soon, possibly, if I don't pass out. I'm thinking about getting us some musack too.
