Thread: project images (Website design)




stark ( on November 8, 2007, 14:52:48 )

In the project list the mloss logo appears next to each projects title. It would be nice to have the project logo there (if available). This would perhaps require rescaling the images to a fixed size.

For now we just use the screenshot image (as it has to be <200k) and let the browser scale the image down to 30x32 pixels. (Yes that is the lazy solution, we might as well create a thumbnail directory and via pythons PIL do image = image.resize((image_x, image_y), Image.ANTIALIAS) and save the image there - will do if things turn out to be too slow).

some 'icons' look really bad, though, e.g. gboost. GraphDemo looks a bit weird, too.

hmmhh I think that the authors should fix :-)

uff... so in the 'update page' screenshot (which also serves as icon since there is no icon entry) is mentioned to be "Limited to 1280x1024 pixels", (ratio 1.25), then screen shots seems to be reduced in size over to 128 x 80 (ratio 1.6) on a project page, and icon on the main page of 'software's is 30x32 (ratio 0.9375)

I wonder -- what screenshot size should be uploaded so I have properly scaled minimized version of the screenshot on the project page and properly scaled icon in the list of 'software's?

Thanks in advance for clarification

Looks like you already answered this question and I am taking this as a feature request (with low priority though) to have separate images for icon and screenshot...

please take then another wishlist -- option to subscribe (in email, not RSS) to a thread (automagically on whenever logged-in and posting a comment) ;-)

Well you can subscribe to a thread already by clicking on the mail icon. Do you really think it is a good idea to do this automatically (this is one line of code so it can be easily done)?

ah -- there is indeed mail icon in the list (but not in the actual "thread" where I was looking for it near by RSS icon)... I think it would be good to have an option (checkbox) below "Post a Reply" for a mail subscription -- it is a common feature of most of the forum engines

sonne ( on September 17, 2008, 21:32:40 )

Understood. More work, so I am adding this as a low priority item :-)
