Image background
I find that the image background is too overwhelming. It is true that there should be a background to show translucencies, but the checkerboard is far too intrusive. -Mardus (talk) 09:57, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Hello, Mardus


 * Do you have better idea yet?

 * I suppose if the bottom three label backgrounds were normal (without checkerboards) and lighter. -Mardus (talk) 02:47, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * In fact, a public domain background image of some flower would be even nicer. -Mardus (talk) 02:48, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * And current translucencies to the left of window components might confuse unassuming/uninformed users as to whether these might be features of the operating system. -Mardus (talk) 02:50, 26 June 2014 (UTC)


 * I've added lattice steel pylons as the background to exemplify translucencies in Windows Aero Glass. Debate is welcome, so if someone feels displeasure associated with such a background, then I'd like to be informed about that before any action is taken. -Mardus (talk) 08:01, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Your version looks bloody awful. If the Grayshi version was overwhelming, yours is Power Overwhelming! so to speak. Reducing contrast in a free photo editor would have helped. Fleet Command (talk) 00:28, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
 * lol. Afterwards I did worry about the background I'd set, and seriously considered replacing it with a better one (yes, with steel pylons, too). The reason for this consideration was that that steel pylon lattice blended in with Windows Vista's own UI examples far too intensely to be told apart at first sight. At the time I was specifically looking for a very contrasty image of steel pylons in order to exemplify the translucencies of Aero Glass. I suppose if the text below examples and on top of steel pylons weren't there, then at least visually it wouldn't have been that much of an issue. Then again, the captions are unavoidable.


 * At least your version looks less worse than this. -Mardus (talk) 03:16, 27 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks... I guess, unless I have mistaken the meaning of "less worse". "Worse" = "More bad". So, "Less worse" = "Less more bad" = "bad"? Fleet Command (talk) 05:58, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
