Since I've started this blog, I've found it a bit boring that less than half of my laptop's screen (definition is 1920x1080) was used to display pictures and text.
After a few tests, I modified the width of the blog to 1000px so that it fits on the devices I could test with.
But this modification might not work properly on your device, so I would like to ask you if these new parameters have an undesired effect or not. If your display is 1000px or higher, you should not experience any trouble.
The main difference is the size of the boxes to show the pictures. Let's have a look:
Size before change
Size after change
Is it worth modifying ? Have you got any trouble ?
Please let me know.
Oh, and a few words about the minis involved. You will have recognized a druid from Hät set 8138 Gallic command, together with the carnyx player already shown here, and a slinger from Hät set 8089 Gallic warband. On the background is my DBA Gallic army.
Regarding his clothes, I searched for info on the web, but we must admit that very little is known on that subject. It is possible that the druid wore white dresses as sacerdotal clothes, but it might only be a tradition coming from the 19th century. All I could read on the subject (Dumézil, Le Roux/Guyonvarc'h, Persigout) is rather old and not very scientific, in my opinion.
So I chose white, off white, as usual :)
A few more pictures.
PS: I also resized the pictures of the previous post but not the others, I'm waiting for your feedback before doing it.
EDIT: Thank you all for your answers ! I understand I can keep this format for the blog, so I can now change the other posts. All right, there's some job to do :)
Larger photos look great on an iPad!
RépondreSupprimerGood news! Thank you for your answer, Jonathan.
SupprimerL'image est plus grande c'est mieux.
RépondreSupprimerSur mon téléphone ou tablette la version web prend tout l'écran sur mon ordi, la moitiés de l'écran est le fond, je t'envoie une copie d'écran par mail.
le druide fait très Astérix mais je l'aurai fait exactement pareil, le "blanc" est réussi, de la belle figurine.
Merci Boro! Tant mieux. Sur mon ordi pareil, le blog utilise 1000px sur les 1920 possibles, mais avant c'était un peu plus de 800 seulement. Si j'agrandit encore, ça ne passera plus sur les tablettes (en mode web) je pense. Je n'ai pas changé la mise en page du mode mobile, ça prend effectivement toute la largeur écran par défaut.
SupprimerLe druide, ben, il est blanc quoi :) avec une cape rouge, il aurait d'un super-héros :))
No problems with the pictures
RépondreSupprimerPerfect! Glad to know it has no negative effect. Thank you for the feedback.
SupprimerThe new size is great. (The figures also!)
RépondreSupprimerThank you Ross, comment appreciated :)
SupprimerLooks great Phil!
RépondreSupprimerMerci beaucoup Maudlin!
SupprimerSmall or big, your pics are always worth a look.
RépondreSupprimerAs for the druid in off White...as far as anyone can tell, it´s ok.
Pliny the Elder from his work, Naturalis Historia - para 251.1, is reckoned to say that they wore White garments
"sacrificio epulisque rite sub arbore conparatis duos admovent candidi coloris tauros, quorum cornua tum primum vinciantur. sacerdos
candida veste cultus arborem scandit, falce aurea demetit, candido id excipitur sago...."
From;
http://latin.packhum.org/loc/978/1/1229#1229
but the section often quoted can translate into meaning the sickle, not the druid, is wrapped/clothed in White Cloth.
I would have been disappointed without one of your excellent scholar comment, Paul... I must admit I expected it :)
SupprimerWorks really well. Figure look superb - even better now.
RépondreSupprimerThank you Duc. Now I know I can keep these display parameters.
SupprimerGreat minis Phil, the hat druid is one of my favorites so great to see him so well painted. And the new picture size works well too
RépondreSupprimerCool, One more vote for the large size :) Thank you for your answer, and your comment.
SupprimerI've not noticed any difference between my Mac or iPad. Cool Druid!
RépondreSupprimerAll right, no problem at least. Thank you for the info, and for the comment about the druid :)
SupprimerI heard that british druids would wear black clothes,
RépondreSupprimerCheck out this YT video about Boudicca's revolt:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npwM2touF08
Around 1:46 they say about druids and their clothing.
As for the pictures they are great and work great, no problems here!
Thank you very much! I will have a look on this video, this info about druids is probably interesting, and also because Boudicca is still on my painting desk (the mini, I mean :)).
SupprimerNo problem with Photos. Looking great.
RépondreSupprimerThanks for the fedback.
SupprimerPas de problème pour moi!
RépondreSupprimerBon, super, merci de ton retour.
SupprimerSalut, merci pour ton commentaire. Je pense effectivement qu'on voit mieux. Après il est toujours possible de cliquer sur chaque photo pour les avoir en plus grand :)
RépondreSupprimerGreat idea Phil! Something I may have to look into for my own blog and as ever the miniatures look great!
RépondreSupprimerThank you Tony! Yes please, show us bigger pictures, so that we can admire your impressive minis.Send me a message if you need any help. My adress: philotepATgmail.com
SupprimerCheers Phil you are very kind. I may give it a go when I am a bit more awake and if I get stuck I will drop you a line. I appreciate it!
SupprimerYou're very welcome :)
