New Design Editor, Game Roster

New and Improved Game Roster

There had been some confusion and difficulty with the old roster system that was located in the community area.  To make things simpler we have taken it out as a backend system.  We have added a much improved game roster with easy member adding, plus making it simpler to give awards and keep your clan or guild organized.  You can add a game roster to your site through the new page dialog.

Additional information is on your old roster page if you had a roster already.  You have the option of importing old roster information on that page.

Layout Generator – R.I.P.

It was old, I’m sure that is no secret.  Designed before the official launch of Spruz, the Layout Generator has seen its share of action.  As with everything, there is a beginning and an end.  The only hope is that the end of one thing is actually the beginning of something better.

That being said, it is my great pleasure to present to you the successor to the Layout Generator. Taking up residence in the same place under the Design tab, the new editor allows you to modify your themes like never before.

The new Design Editor was a complete rewrite, so to list out all the changes would be quite lengthy.  Instead I have listed out below some of the new highlights.

Easy to Find Controls - All the option are right at the top and instantly visible. They are separated out into logical sections, to help you find exactly what you need.

Real Site Preview - The preview area shows you how your actual site would look with the changes you make.  It is fully functional, so you can even navigate to other pages to see how they look with your new style.  All changes give you instant feedback in the preview area.  You can now full test the design with your content before you save it to your site.

Smarter Colors - Color schemes allow you to change groups of colors at a time or even suggest a color scheme for you with the Smart Color Selector option.  There are also several preset color schemes to get you started. If you want to change individual colors you can do so with the sections color buttons next to the section title.

Image Uploading - Upload or browse for images directly and add them to your style instantly without ever leaving the page.  Easily change between images that you have used during your design session.

Undo Option - You can undo changes that you make by clicking the undo button; which is located next to the save button at the top of your design controls.

Presets - We have added more presets for various styles.  Font sizes, navigation styles, color schemes and border sizes all have easy to use presets to make designing even easier.

Well, enough talking about it, if you are still here go and try it out already and let us know what you think.
