The background will remain fixed, regardless. It is the only way to use the wallpaper switching feature in a decent way. Hence I appreciate input about HW backgrounds.
Switching was previously a problem since the script loaded all backgrounds on first site load making this heavy. Not any more. Once a background is selected, via the very small thumbnails, it will load once and only that file. Settings are controlled by Cookies, so if you clear them, re-select.
Please feel free to point to nice HW-inspired backgrounds for usage. Default will always be the #082851 blue, common with HWSHOTS and originally proposed by Moe, hex courtesy of JAL-18. I also think it is an original colour from ingame menu or related to the games somehow.

Note: With not updated recently I mean that ModDB has no recorded changes for at least 4 months back.
I am perfectly aware of layout issues in IE 6 (and 7 amazingly!). Have concentrated on graphics which, with some exception, are done, within the WP theme. I still lack a decent banner and I will replace those stars in lists for other, more relevant, items.
Thing is, I concentrated on getting layout done in Firefox and just forgot about IE. Who cares? I do! (I will, eventually…)
A SPACE in a HTML comment… FIXED…
Personnel:
No, we haven’t got a huge crowd signing up here to fill this site with Homeworld items. Nor will we ever. We? Yes, I am more than one person here. In fact: TWO…;)
For those of you following Homeworld (1) modding it is good to hear that Iostream will continue his work on the New Graphical Mod, whose goal is to bring some or many of the stunning graphical effects in HW2 to HW1.

]]>well the idea here was always to have a mod that kept with the traditional view of homeworld ships but letting them look a fair bit nicer and act a bit more like in space
The final concept for site is not entirely ready. I have organized dedicated RSS feeds to Relic Forums, the Homeworld related parts, and will add some more to that.
The main intention is to draw attention to Homeworld and Homeworld related resources in different ways.
Homeworld : Ad Maiorem Gloriam !

Beghins has honored us with an updated release of his mod Homeworld Complex.
]]>5.5 testing concluded.
2 match against 4 Hiigaran (Expert), more then 70 game years withoun any crash and lag too (AMD 4200 Dual Core, GForce 7800 GT, 2GByte RAM).
log.txt now is clear, you no more need to set it on “read only”.
Lag reduced up to 30%.
The feature to select different backgrounds is very nifty, but as the ambitious guy I am, I take my stake at big backgrounds that support 1600×1200 resolution.
