Template talk:talk
From Homestar Runner Wiki
How do you upload pictures that have no backgrounds? Because I think a picture of Homestar and Strong Bad making water cooler talk (as seen in cliffhangers) would work perfectly for this template. Bad Bad Guy 02:51, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
- In some image editors, you can specify a color as "transparent". My experience with making images for templates, though, is that you'd be better off making the background of the image be the color of the template background (like the image currently on this template).

- Not a bad image choice, although typically "water cooler discussions" are where people speculate about plot, etc. Anyway, if we're sticking with the water cooler image, I'm going to work on getting a more cleanly-edited version of it uploaded. Probably later tonight.

- I don't think the water-coller talk is the appropriate image we want to use to define the discussion page. I'd suggest a pic from Ever And More! as more suitable - planning things by concensus, not just idly chatting and gossiping. - Qermaq - (T/C)

- I agree that the water cooler image may not necessarily be the best choice. However, in watching Ever And More! I don't find any really great freeze frames that we might use to represent this template. The thought crosses my mind that the town meeting in unnatural conveys the meaning of a council, although it does have the negative implication that "nobody here listens to anyone else". =] OptimisticFool 04:11, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- That may sometimes be appropriate. ;) The point is not the deeper context of the toon, but the immediate reaction of people to the image. - Qermaq - (T/C) 08:58, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- I really dig the new picture. I don't think that having an image of serious people having serious discussions is a must. We use these template images to add a light hearted feeling to the strict warnings, they don't need to match 100% to the situation. Did I mention I think think it looks really good? — Elcool (talk)(contribs) 17:37, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

And this is what it would look like with the Town Meetin' image:

Too long, no?

- It is longer than normal, but I think I like it! Trey56 20:22, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
