Look at the top of this website. You know that space that surrounds your avatar and the Gaia Online logo? Usually, it displays a rather simple field or part of a building. For a few weeks per months, that "space", the header/banner, is special, to promote the current Chance Item/Random Item Generator. In my opinion, they're always beautiful, but that is not what this petition is for.
Gaia releases at least one new header per month - CIs [RIGs] come out monthly. Sometimes, the number is more than this, in the case of an event.
I think we should be able to choose which header we want to be displayed, and to be able to change this at any time.
By "change this at any time", I mean that I should be able to change from the Luna's Incense header to the Snow Apple header whenever I should please.
Whether or not this is a feature that would be released in the Gaia Labs (the same wonderful place where we have been given the ability to change the toolbar's color and center the site) is inconsequential.
I just don't want to have to install a third-party extension that a) works for a small number of browsers and b) changes the entire layout of the site. I've tried it. I don't like it.
Preferably, we would be able to choose from all the headers ever released; all the way back to 2003, and from all the special ones that have come into existence since them. But a good baby step would be to give the option to choose from the earliest ones or latest ones and work toward the most recent or the earliest ones, if that makes sense.
Also, to still be able to promote new Chance Items, maybe the new header that accompanies the new item would automatically display when the new item is released/for [x] amount of days, overriding the user's choice.
I slapped together a banner and posted it and the coding you need to stick it places! Put it in your signature and spread the word! It is located right underneath the gallery of former headers!
Hey, everyone: If you're going to suggest BetterGaia and not sign the thread or give any actual feedback, please don't post in this thread. It just complicates my job... and if you've read entirety of this first post, you know the reasons why I don't like BG and am proposing this. I want an in-Gaia header picker/changer, not some bullshit third-party extension.
