Re: Need a little help with creating a dynamic text banner
Hi! Have you tried the Xtns/Script-fu/Logos/Basic I ? It creates a similar banner that you would like.

Have you tried the Xtns/Script-fu/Logos/Basic I ? It creates a similar
banner that you would like.
Sounds like this is an HTML problem - - i.e. either make the
banner image with text included (as Bela's suggestion to use scrpt-fu
Logos) and then use HTML to *center* the whole image.
Or, use the background as a background image with heading text 'floating'
over it on the page. This would allow more "dynamic" possibilities for the
text (colors, moving, flashing [yech!], etc.) and would let the banner fit
across different monitors/resolutions and still look the same.

Thanks for all your input folks. I think I have found a way to do it really
dynamically: I found the Perl script examples in the 'examples' directory,
and although I am not a programmer the scripts looked clearifying enough.
What I did: I used the basic-logo script, opened an existing image (my
background image) instead of creating a new one and added my text. And that
seems to work well. I haven't figured out how to automate things yet, but I
hope that that is a matter of time.
Thanks again for all your suggestions!

Need a little help with creating a dynamic text banner
Hello y'all!
I have checked the script-fu, but could not find the script I needed. So
maybe one of you can offer some help.
I woulk like to have all our intranet pages to have the same sort of banner
on the top of the page. E.g.:
-
| |
| Nice page!|
| |
-
I have created a default background for this (600 x 50) and now I would like
to type some text ("Nice page!") and have this *centered* on this background.
Does anyone now if this work has been done before? (I am not a programmer and
would be really "challenged" if I had to write a such beast of my own...)
Thanks for all your suggestions!
