Anyone else here using Mozilla 1.0? Notice how the logo is messed up? If only cal would make the table into one image, things would be so much easier. ;)

or alternatively, mozilla could fix their rendering engine...

besides, you should know why the logo is like that

It's so it can change colour on the fly, right?
Posted by cal, 13:37, 7th August 2002:
 
right

Double post...

Yes, of course, but couldn't you also just assign the image source to a variable? With 11 color schemes, that'd be 11 versions of the logo to make, which isn't even very many.
switch($_POST['cscheme']) {
case 1:
$logo_img_src = 'blue.gif';
break;
case 2:
$logo_img_src = 'brown.gif';
break;
etc.
}
Right?

or possibly use some kind of a filter on the image? Like you suggested on that other persons colour-blind site thingy.

mj: i imagine i could code that myself ;)

but then what happens when i finally let you choose the color scheme yourself?

sul: too much server-side processing.

Gee, cal, I dunno about that one. :p What do you mean what happens when you let us choose the scheme? We pick a scheme, and the logo associated with that sceme # gets used. Maybe I'm missing something?

no, like actually choose the actual colors

Ohh, I get it now.

Yes, that would be a problem, but there's 2 (and probably more) things you could do about it.
Never let people select their own colors. :)Use GD to create PNG's on-the-fly.
