LBT Desktop backgrounds

landbeforetimelover · **on:** February 24, 2008, 09:24:11 PM

I've started to compile some full quality LBT backgrounds and put them into a page. Now, this is still experimental, seeing as I'm not the best with javascript, but since these images are so large, I am using javascript so you don't have to reload the whole page to look at a new image. I am adding new images right now, so there might be more late, but there are currently 11 images to choose from:

EDIT: Just follow the new link in my signature. The one that says "LBT desktop backgrounds".

These are HUGE images. Please make sure that you let them load completely before trying to save them or set them as backgrounds. They may seem blurry. I don't know why that is. They look crystal clear as a background though.

all I got was... Hello on the screen. nothing else.

Use firefox or enable javascript in IE.

Threehorn · **Reply #3 on:** February 24, 2008, 09:37:48 PM

I don't have firefox.

Just checked Java is on and still it not coming up. All I get is a white screen with the text 'Hello' nothing else.

Try firefox. Honestly, IE is terrible. It has no security at all. Firefox is a lot safer, and it'll not block javascript cuz it can protect against malicious javascript programs, unlike IE. These images are absolutely huge. If you're on dialup, you probably can't view them. Unlike regular images, these images don't load line by line. They load completely, then show.

I have broadband. and never really had any trouble using IE on this Laptop.

I don't want to download a IE program like Firefox just to view something. Is there any way to view them without resulting to that?

landbeforetimelover · **Reply #6 on:** February 24, 2008, 09:47:54 PM

Is it IE 7? There should be a bar at the top that pops up saying some crap like "the content has been blocked for your safety". Just right click it and say "allow content"

I just did a test. My site uses a new scripting technology that is not compatible with IE 6.

Threehorn · **Reply #7 on:** February 24, 2008, 09:51:45 PM

I got version 6 of IE on my laptop and got no bar that said that, just a white background with the word Hello on it. thats it from the link you gave.

landbeforetimelover · **Reply #8 on:** February 24, 2008, 09:53:13 PM

IE 6 came out in like 2002. My scripting uses 2006 technology scripting. You must upgrade to IE 7 or firefox or another browser to view the site.

Threehorn · **Reply #9 on:** February 24, 2008, 09:54:19 PM

I see now, thanks

I will see what i can do about that bit.

landbeforetimelover · **Reply #10 on:** February 24, 2008, 09:56:29 PM

I'll make a script that comes up if you're using IE 6 so you'll know if you're using an incompatible browser people.

Okay. I've changed the link on the first post. Now you can really see if your browser is compatible.

Thanks for the backgrounds. Were they hard to make?

landbeforetimelover · **Reply #12 on:** February 25, 2008, 01:49:00 AM

To take the snapshots is not big deal, but I have to make waaaaay more than I need. To get those.....28 or so shots, I actually took over 500. I just had to take the good ones' out and publish them. Making the site with javascript was the biggest challenge. It may not look like much, but it includes a lot of script. Here's what I have so far in scripting:

Sounds and looks very complicated.

landbeforetimelover · **Reply #14 on:** February 25, 2008, 03:29:27 AM

Does this work for everyone? I need to know if it's not just my computer:

http://www.freewebs.com/landbeforetimeinfo/true%20test.htm

Does it bring up a separate interactive window or just a new page? The image should fade in and for some of you there will be a little window with a black box around it with a "close" button at the bottom and some of you will just have a fading image. Those of you without the close button, you just need to click anywhere on the image to close it.

Mornai · **Reply #15 on:** February 25, 2008, 04:32:25 AM

Do you mean does the page come up? Because it did for me.

Coyote_A · **Reply #16 on:** February 25, 2008, 04:46:24 AM

I'm using FireFox myself, so there was no problem with that page at all. IE really an annoying programm. -_-
landbeforetimelover, this background are nice, but a little fuzzy. They were taken directly from the video, or have you made any additional operations with them?

landbeforetimelover · **Reply #17 on:** February 25, 2008, 04:48:09 AM

As I said before, these images appear fuzzy on the internet. If you just set them as a background, they're not very fuzzy. These are directly taken from a full quality DVD.

Thanks, I"m sure many people will be very happy to use them.

I'm using Safari on my Mac, which has recently been updated with Mac OS X Leopard. The pics are loading slow simply cause my Mac still uses dial-up...but they are loading for me! Yay!
