[QUOTE="Inker, post: 199245, member: 10541"] Adjusting the entire page is and option and is something I considered for a while (I promise, without knowing about centerstage). But basically for two reason it wasn't done because its alot more complicated to code, but mainly because its alot more work to make that kind of fanart than "just" making an image. I really doubt very many people would even do that (and then, at least currently, if they make a mistake, or MP gets an upgrade or SOMETHING goes wrong that fanart would completly stop working. I like the idea, but skins are so different. Consider a dark skin and a light one. The fanart creator doesnt even know about the light one, he uses the dark. So he places the button there, overlays it with that etc to make it look nice with the image. But then the user uses the light skin. Now the buttons look different, being too light to read.
