Yeah I actually agree about the background, I didn't really know what to use.

I wanted to have some sort of pattern/texture, but it won't work well without some extra markup (at least with my skill level). Color suggestions are very welcome though.

Try overlaying wood texture?

I will repeat myself again :D
the list is unreadable on lower resolutions :)
1280x800 is what I got, the text covers the background and I cant really read.
No sig :(

Like I said, it won't work well without additional markup, since the body background is reserved for the top of the scroll. MAL didn't allow manipulation of the html element when I tried and no other element covers the entire page. Please tell if I'm missing something obvious. :P

Anyways, I did a small update, adding a little extra. I want to position the quill a little different, but then I have to fix the edge of the top parchment again to allow tiling. Sooo maybe it'll happen within the next month or so. I'm a lazy bastard.

@valtizar: Nice list. :) I would just advise you to change the background color to something like #a8dffe until you fix the image. It's currently the same color as the text, which makes the entire right part of the list unreadable.

@ Mobb: a quill and a wax seal with kanji... Shouldn't it be more like an ink brush and an ink seal? ^^'

About the background situation. This might be a difficult way to approach it, but how about putting a bg behind the top of the scroll that merges seamlessly with a bg that you put behind the main part of the scroll? That will give the illusion of a single background. Might be more work than it's worth though. xD

[edit] Ah. You should be able to use the top bar somehow to place the top of the scroll. I think. =)

But what about the list text? Written with a quill! And the wax seal is just authenticating the document, which doesn't really have anything to do with how the content is created.

...but really, I'm just throwing some crap on there to decorate it a bit, don't bring logic to my doorstep! ;)

About your background suggestion: I would then need to either have the background fixed, which I don't want, or make the background resolution 1920xthousands, which would make it several MB big. None of them viable unfortunately. If by top bar you mean the control strip, then that's also impossible, since it has its own space up there and doesn't extend down the entire page.

Thanks for trying though. :3

What I meant was putting something behind this http://img2.pict.com/02/5b/b7/2584693/0/middle.png and making it wider. Same with the top of the scroll. Then make the two connect seamlessly to make it seem like you have a single background. The main part of the scroll would just repeat as it is doing now. You could put a wood texture (like PresSit suggested) or something else simple. It's possible, but not very practical. There should be many more ways to approach this situation. I'm sure there are some people here who know how to do it better.

Ah yes, that could work. But as you say it's not very practical, since the list-surround div would need to be 1920px wide and I would have to mess with padding for everything inside it.

In the meantime, I experimented a bit with dropping the eastern look. Dunno what to think of this either... I should probably just stop this now. >.<

@Algirdyz
Yes, I realize that now. Sorry, this is my first attempt ever and I'm still learning. To be honest when I first started it never occurred to me that it would look different on different resolutions (I know, silly me). It was only after I had started that I learned that.

Perhaps it would help if I changed the text colour to white instead?? I feel as though that may help, though probably not enough to make any significant difference. This is something I will keep in mind for the next one I make.

You could hide #category_totals and #table_headerLink to make the blue margin align all of the text perfectly.

Now since there are no living creatures in the List Help thread, could anyone help please?

On the copyright of my list, there is a distance from the "Plan to Watch" that I can't change. If anyone knows how to do that, please tell me.

I think if you change the height of the copyright thing, then you can sort of position it. I dunno. But anyway, your list is awesome. You've developed the whole notebook paper style to near perfection. Good job.

First of all, thanks! I really appreciate it!

And I changed the height to the exact height of the copyright's "background". Now it's on the bottom without any padding, which is good. The problems are now that 1 - The f____ copyright text is covering *my* copyright text and 2 - the blank space is still there.

I'm so afraid of touching the "copyright" section, lol.

Nice list Mimi_Taylor, <3 Spice & Wolf :)
Wondering why you don't want the category totals to appear tho. Do you fear it won't flow right with the list?
And also, even tho I can understand it can somehow distract from the list, I personally feel the mal top bar is useful. And if it stays at the top, you see it for like 2 seconds anyway :)
Other than that, good job!

Make sure that in your profile settings, under the 'My List Settings' tab, the 'Style Override' box (top choice) is not checked. If checked it forces everyone else's lists into one of the default styles when you view them.

Very impressive lists all around, everyone.

Thnx! :3

Good point about the MAL top bar. I'm just experimenting around and I kinda miss clicking back to my profile on it. =P So I think I will add it back.

As for the category totals, yeah. They don't look right to me so I try to blend them in the background image as best I can. ><

@Valesti : It's nice but in 1680x1050 the background is mispositioned, so the chara on the right is behind the list for me :x

Made my anime and manga list styles awhile ago, but never bothered to post here for some feedback (until now). So yea, let me know what you guys think!

@Aerolite: It's awesome. The colors go well to together and I like the reflection style you gave for the categories. The only "problem" I noticed is that Zack's face in the background is cut off, but it might just be because our screen sizes are different.

@werr-y: Thank you! :3

@Aerolite: Thanks! Hee, Yamamoto. >w< I like your list theme, too. It feels very clean and the colors remind me of Star Ocean. But as Dust2Dust mentioned, the FFXIII characters (I think) are a bit random. I think it needs a Sephiroth? Or the other main cast in Crisis Core, I forgot his name. >_<

@Dust2Dust: Thanks for your input~ I'm not sure how to address the resolution problem... maybe position the background as "top center" ? But then the people with 800x600 resolution get shafted. :[ What do people usually do regarding resolution issues? btw, I'm really jealous of you folks with your giant monitors and huge resolutions ;_;

@ZeroBreaker: regarding Aerolite's bg, Zack's face is cut off in the original art so you're viewing it correctly. ;3 And about your list- Persona 3! <3 I'm really liking the background image. I'm not liking the dark blue borders in your tables though, they kind of clash with the gray.

@Dust2Dust : Somewhat, lol. I originally planned on having Angeal, Genesis, or Reno as one of the last two headers. But, the Angeal and Genesis' renders looked boring, and a part of Reno's head was cut off. Made me cry, so I had to settle for the XIII characters (I liked their renders :P).

ZeroBreaker : Thanks, and about Zack's face, refer to valesti's post. Your anime/manga list are also awesome! The colors are properly co-ordinated, plus, Persona 3. xD

@Siva : Thanks :D

@valesti : Thanks, and as I said to Dust2Dust, I ran out of good renders so I settled for XIII characters (but damn, I forgot about Sephiroth LOL).

@valeseti - Oh, haha. Yea, I figured it may be something simple like that lol. About the borders, do you think a different shade of blue would look better or maybe remove them entirely? I thought it was fine, but improvements are always a plus. xD

@aerolite, mimi_taylor - Thanks a lot! =D

@kusuri - I like the design. The font style and pictures give it a very "fun" feeling. Although the totals at the bottom are a little tough to read. And are you planning to add the titles for your other sections or is it meant to only be for the currently watching section?

I love the colors, and I agree that it has a very fun feeling to it. x3 My only suggestion is that you give the text and images an outline (like a glow or shadow) so that they look better against the busy background. And you can view your list on larger screen resolutions here: http://www.viewlike.us/

Haha and I need to continue watching Spice and Wolf.. :x I've been stuck on episode 6 forever.
