Designing the community bar

[FriendlyFire]

I think it might be a good idea to ask the creators of the different skins of the FLCN for permissions to use them elsewhere before actually sharing them…

After all, while the code itself is propriety of The Starport, the customized images are theirs. On top of that, I’m not sure they would like to get all that bandwidth leeched away from them without their knowledge

Please, either ask SWAT and Eagle or make your own versions.

sorry, i’ve edited out the eagle utopia and swat versions now

I made a transparent PNG version of the “Freelancer Community Network” text on the bar. You can find it here. This is used on all the community network bars on 88 Flak’s website - the background of the page is shown instead of the bar’s background, which makes it look more integrated IMO. Feel free to use the HTML code and/or image for your bars, as long as you don’t link to it directly. You can also use the image to make a new background for the bar - you’d just place the transparent PNG over the new background gradient/whatever.

The one problem with making custom bars is that you can’t control the exact colors of the popup, aside from it being light blue or dark blue, so it may look out of place. This could be fixed by adding another Show_fl_community_PopupLinks function to fl_community_headbar.js that takes three color arguments .

m0tah, thanks for the transparent Freelancer Community network logo, i used the transparent picture and put it on my yellow background - it works now!…

Freeworlds bar looked most like the originals (BrightBlue and DarkBlue), does anyone know the admin of their webserver?

[Alex.]

CF Code?

[Wolfie]

yes, i was gonna go though the CF code so i could use it

[Alex.]

I still don’t get it, what is CF Code?

[FriendlyFire]

I’m guessing he means the SWAT Portal FLCN code, with CF meaning Crossfire…

If you want to have other dropdown styles (currently, there is darkblue and brightblue), please give me the code, I will then implement them into the javascript.

[Wolfie]

i made my own borders, now i just need 2 know how 2 add it, thats what im asking about lol

[Alex.]

w0dk4, could you add this as part of the colours defining section in the js script, please

else if(color =="yellow") {
	  document.write("");
	}
all it does is add popup colours to this yellow headbar i'm making

[w0dk4]

sure, done

[Alex.]

@w0dk4:

sure, done

Thanks,
My Yellow headbar code is:

   <a id="hoverover" style="cursor:default;" onmouseover="Show_fl_community_Popup(document.getElementById(&quot;flc_table&quot;));" onmouseout="Hide_fl_community_Popup()">![Freelancer Community Network](http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/1856/networkbarrg4.gif)</a>
