My First Wallpaper.

Hm, i dont know, really, its kinda monotone.
But i guess that is wanted.
What kind of criticism do you need? I guess this was done with a particular goal in mind and whether it fits or not is a subjective question.
 
Constructive criticism as far as how I could improve the picture. Shades that could be added, different textures... I don't know. I feel like there's always room for improvement, especially as a beginner. Honestly, there wasn't much of a goal in mind, I just started throwing colors together, and I ended up using no colors because I thought it looked the best.

I like hearing other peoples insights, so anything you would change in this wallpaper I'd like to hear it! Thanks.
 
There is nothing to "improve" unless you have some kind of goal.
If you want a plain grey picture you just make a plain grey picture. Thats it.
If you want something minimalistic you make it minimalistic. If you want something over-the-board flashy with things everywhere and you add stuff until your mind is blown.
But if you dont know what you want or how it is supposed to be we cant tell you what you should try to do.
 
I like the faint white in the background that reminds of real wallpaper.
 
But why is everything so dark?

Is it really that dark? It seems about right to me, of course my monitors brightness is quite high, but it looks perfect "lighting" wise as my wallpaper. I purposely made the wallpaper border dark to give it the feel of "fading in" from nothing to something.

I might try to put one together with some color and higher brightness a little later if I'm not lazy! But we'll see :p
 
I think the colors are fine, but I think its a tad to dark. Overall looks pretty sick.

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

  • The Helper The Helper:
    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    What do you think Tom?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I will have to get used to this.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
