[QUOTE="BennTech, post: 374889, member: 67104"] I AM talking about FANART when I say "obscure strip". The example pics of fanart you provide are nicely cropped in the strip, but most of the fanart for my series don't crop so nicely. People's heads are lopped off, some vital piece of the pic is in the lower half, etc., and all that's left is an obscure strip of a larger fanart image. And for series that don't have any fanart (I have several), the strip is [B]wasted black space![/B] As for the default background, I'm with divinius on that one--it's way too busy for Monochrome and adds nothing to TVSeries. But I can't agree with divinius that obscure strips or empty space is "classy". Besides, let's not forget that we already have widebanners, covers, and episode pics for each series. These FULL images are a better indicator of the series and better use of the space than either [B]obscure strips of fanart[/B] or [B]empty black space[/B]. I'm sorry guys. I just think it's wasted space, and if that's the future for Monochrome, I'm going to have to find another skin. Unfortunately, none of them will live up to the high standards that Monochrome has otherwise created for me. ;) [/QUOTE]
