Yes, it’s late. I just spent the last one or two hours creating some new header images for the theme to randomly pick from. It’s been an interesting process because it allowed me a chance to scour through my hard drive of photos to find some candidates for header images. Some of the older pictures from years ago were pretty low-res. You can tell from the results. In other cases, the picture was actually taken with my cell phone creating for weird colouration. There were some photos that looked pretty cool on their own, but lost their impact when limited to a window of 226 pixels. I added descriptions to the pictures I chose. I’m not sure if I’m liking the pixel font I chose. The font is meant to be 7 pixels high, but that was far too small for my liking. As such, there’s some heavy duty anti-aliasing going on.
Right now there are 11 images:
- Niagara Falls, Ontario
- Seafort Square, Tokyo, JP
- Chinatown, Yokohama, JP
- Big Buddha, Kamakura, JP
- Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona
- Fairmont Royal York, Toronto, Ontario
- Old City Hall, Toronto, Ontario
- Wall Street, New York, New York
- Air Canada Centre, Toronto, Ontario
- Yonge St., Toronto, Ontario
- Scarborough, Toronto, Ontario
Let me know if there’s a particular one that’s pretty cool, or if there’s one that just doesn’t work. Any opinion would be helpful. Thanks!
ETA: OK, so after sitting with it for a day or so, I’m realizing that not all images work that well as a header. As well, having a random header can be distracting. So I’m going to pick one header image and stick with it for a month or whatever time period. The first one I’m choosing will be Seafort Square. If you see fire above it’s because I still haven’t uploaded it. Keep an eye out!
