making cool background images in paint.net

[solidgold]

If I was asking for that I'd use the same term, it's wrong terminology but it gets the point across! I don't see it as a crime

thank you, that's basically what my thinking was when i chose that, and mack i can see where you're coming from, but when you're getting comments such as:

pfft.. web 2.0 graphics, roflmao :D

its very easy to get defensive

The point I would like to make is the sort of little scripts solidgold makes, although not used yet of final projects are the sort of things you would use on a so called web 2.0 site.

i didnt say that, you misquoted me. that was ianm

[solidgold]

i meant it as in it is easy to become defensive towards people asking genuine questions when others are making comments such as that

[Toon]

and lets draw a line under that one and carry on shall we, I don't think any offence was meant, it's the sort of thing a thousand people are going to say and get the same responce.

[Mack]

well then ignore it and move on. I had a genuine question, sorry if it was mistaken for something else.

I am sorry solidgold, but i find the whole "web 2.0" graphics concept frankly annoying, a plain stripey background actually looks good in most cases - it's all the "make it look shiney" that makes them - and the websites they are used on - look so amateurish to me, not that i'm a top notch web designer in any way. I was just having a little inner giggle, sorry for any misunderstanding but I wasn't getting at you .

[solidgold]

right, well that's ok! i'm glad that's all sorted out!

and enjoy the stripe generator
