User page Style Suggestions

I am accepting input/advice/ideas for putting together my user page. I want to put something on there, but I don't have the creative gene without some inspiration. Call it wikicoder's block or whatever, anyway, if you have any cool ideas for me, I'm listening! --Xerelin 14:50, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

The banners

Hey, so, I thought they weren't as good as they could've been so I re-did them. They're in here. If you like one better than it's original, please say so and I'll upload it over the original :). --Naoroji 09:39, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

It looks like the Asura has more yellow to it, and the Norn has more red. They both look really good, but that's hard to keep a style sheet the same with tw odifferent color bases. I'll have to pick one, but I don't know which on yet. Thanks though! --Xerelin 16:31, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

Xerelin, I think you should keep this one (talk page banner). I mean, its so awesome... Aquadrizzt 13:17, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

Currently, I'm actually working on a Char picture for my talk page, and I'm thinking about moving the Norn to my main page, so it doesn't seem like I'm stealing Naoroj's thing--Xerelin 14:25, 4 June 2010 (UTC)

So,... You made up your mind yet? xD --Naoroji 12:03, 27 June 2010 (UTC)

I want the bottom half of the "healing and death" wallpaper as my banner, but I suck at this type of thing, so I'm trying to figure out how to make the stupid thing work.--Xerelin 13:48, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Your banner

I moved it to File:User Xerelin banner.JPG to comply with the image naming policy. Shadow Runner 15:19, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

thanks, that's the first file I've uploaded, and wasn't sure how to move it there, or to upload it directly to my user files.--Xerelin 15:26, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

When you're uploading, you have to fill in the 'destination filename', rite? There, you can see the file's name. Now, all you have to do is put 'User Xerelin ' in front of it ;). --Naoroji 15:28, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

PS. Should I help you with that banner? It's clearly not the same size as the Norn one I made for you, is :P. --Naoroji 15:28, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

yeah, it's not the same size obviously, but I didn't want to distort the image. I'm no good at these things, My younger brother is a graphical artist, I'm just a lowly programmer. lol. any help is much appreciated--Xerelin 15:57, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Coding

Ok, because I've been getting a lot of in-game questions about a code snippet on my gww talk page, i'm gonna put it here too with a short (very short) explanation of what it does.

Dim saveFileDialog1 As New SaveFileDialog()

saveFileDialog1.Filter = "Executable|*.exe" //add other cases here using the | name | *.filetype " format.

savefiledialog1.initialdirectory = "\My Documents" //or specify other directory here.

saveFileDialog1.Title = "Save an Executable File"

saveFileDialog1.ShowDialog()

If saveFileDialog1.FileName <> "" Then

Try

With saveFileDialog1

.FileName = FileName

If .ShowDialog() = DialogResult.OK Then

FileName = .FileName

sw = New StreamWriter(FileName)

//using streamwriter to write file and save it.

sw.Write(FileName.exe)

End If

End With

End Select

fs.Close()

End If

What this does, is writes data into a buffer (sw) that is then fed into a file type (.exe) and saved. The problem most everyone seems to be having is not grasping the concept of needing the buffer, because otherwise the saveFileDialog box is saving an .exe with no content. --Xerelin 16:21, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

What Kind of Signature are you wanting?

Just describe Font,Colour and a little picture(optional) you want and ill make one as best i can :D --Neil • 17:41, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

I've got this one XerelinFexdrion right now, but I am wanting something a little more flamboyant, not overboard though, I'd love a picture, something Norn-ish if it wouldn't be too much trouble. THNX--XerelinFexdrion 18:04, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

On it.--Neil • 18:05, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Danke' ! --XerelinFexdrion 18:06, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
