Forum Cover Photo templates


Recommended Posts

The profile now has a cover photo option like there are on social media sites like Twitter or Facebook. After playing around, I was able to build a template for my screen resolution which is 1680x1050 on this computer. I do not know how it will look on other resolutions yet, so this might not be of any use. The forum uses a single image to show in 2 sizes. The profile page looks to use 1300x265 while the hover profile uses 436x85. I have made a template to show the used areas for both views. One problem with designing a cover is that you likely do not want to use text.

Here is the regular template image that I have as my forum cover photo.

Here is a transparent one that can be used as an overlay for testing out cover photos.

Seeing my own profile (the template image is set as my cover) on different resolutions, it looks like you can't have just 1 image work properly for everything. The hover template portion seems to work fine, but being able to create a single perfect image that works in all views isn't possible with this software.
