ADM Playoff Wallpaper

Post by CatchUp »

Hey dudes,

So for the last few NHL seasons I've been making playoff desktop backgrounds for myself and a few buddies. Basically, it's a playoff grid that I update daily based on the results of that days games. I'm doing it anyway, so I thought why not make it available for TBL'ers! :thup:

I don't know what that status of our image uploading is here on the site so I've put it on my Flickr account for now. You can grab the 'blank' 1st round bracket right here:

Every night after the games are over, I will be updating the background to reflect the status of the series.

Let me know if you guys are into this or not!

Cheers and enjoy those playoffs - mmm mmm good! :-D

Thanks for checking it out Shadd!

As for your problem with the BG getting cut off...

I made it 1024x768, which is pretty standard. Have you set it to 'centered' rather than 'strecthed'? If it's set to stretched it might get cut off by the taskbar along the bottom.

Let me know if that doesn't help.

Cheers.

It's stretched ;) Works fine in standard :thup:

But i always use stretched laptops. No worries though. I'll see perfectly who wins the cup, that's all what matters! :D

Personnally, i really love this wallpaper updated day-by-day with the latest playoffs result :thup:

It would be awesome if it coul update all alone without clicking twice to do so, but that's maybe my lazy side :D

I was going to post them to my gallery here on the site, but then I considered the possibility of another hack that would disable image uploading for a few days and I decided it would be 'safer' to host the files on my Flickr account. Unfortunetly, Flickr assigns each file it's own file name so I can't just replace the file every day with a new one of the same name. get it? :p

Thanks for downloading anyway Shadd!

Get it ;) But, would it have been automatically updated on my computer if you had post it in your gallery? (noob question, sorry :D)

Thanks for the updates ;)

Hey Catchup. This new one sucks. The Rangers have a "2" in their win column. That sucks. :-D
