Thanks for the clarification on the locx. I think this pip should always be dead last (closest to right edge). That way, collision with others will be less and we form some consistency. Yeah, the effect shouldn't be more than a few pixels, but has to be very very gradual. Definitely a job for Merc. I can see it in my minds eye... | Thanks for the clarification on the locx.

One critical side-effect of the use of these is that series-common articles (like [[Earth]] and [[Kobol]]) should be split. A lot of contributors argue for that anyway, and with the direction that RDM is going, it's a near-necessity now. --[[User:Spencerian|Spencerian]] 12:55, 13 April 2007 (CDT) | One critical side-effect of the use of these is that series-common articles (like [[Earth]] and [[Kobol]]) should be split.

I would have to agree with this proposal, given that the RDM content has pretty much dwarfed the original series (and 1980) stuff.
As for constructive criticism: The badge in use right now needs to have a better contrast against the black background of the page, and the badge should be nearly flush with the right margin. (As I believe Shane noted, the alignment of this pip would be an issue if other pips are used as well.) -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 11:08, 13 April 2007 (CDT)
- Well, that's the trick, too. It should have good contrast in general, as who knows what color scheme or skin we might have in the future. (It looks OK on monobook, but bsgbook is the default). --Steelviper 11:35, 13 April 2007 (CDT)
- Well, what if there was an effect around the pip? For instance, how about a cloud effect similar to those seen in the promos for the new BSG series? -- Joe Beaudoin So say we all - Donate 11:43, 13 April 2007 (CDT)
- I like the idea of a luminous cloud, a tiny effect that brightens it. My wiki skillz are insufficient to move the icon to the far right as it should, something I did note. Should we break down a version for 1980 stuff as well? --Spencerian 11:59, 13 April 2007 (CDT)
- The locx parameter specifies the number of pixels the image is displaced from the right side of the screen, while the locy parameter specifies the number of pixels the image is displaced from the top, I believe. The reason for its current placement was to avoid overlapping with any of the MANY possible icons. However, if it had to be far right either we could adjust all the other icons more to the left, or displace it off of the "top" row by adding a higher "locy" value.

- I tried adding a white "outer glow" effect via photoshop, but it looked pretty ugly. That might be a job for Merc or somebody else with artistic skillz. --Steelviper 12:03, 13 April 2007 (CDT)
