Why use the default picture in the top-right corner?

I tried to find this on the feedback thread list, but couldnt find it. This has been bugging me forever, as I am into the whole "make the dev page pretty" thing.

Why do we have to use the default picture in the top right corner? I just want an image for the list when people look at it, and I want to add my own banner at the top of the page. If I use a banner and a default image, it moves the banner down farther (unless I make the banner small, which is annoying and sometimes makes it too small), making it so viewers have to scroll down to see the description. Is there any way the bukkitdev staff could make it so you don't have to have the default picture in the top right corner? I really believe this is one reason why many developers do not use default images, creating a tough decision: Use a default image, or a banner?

Thanks for listening to my feedback!

+1, it's very annoying and screws up my formatting.

 

Exactly! And it has to have been more work putting it in the upper corner (for the staff), so why do it?

 

Agreed, the messed-up formatting is the reason I haven't assigned default images to any of my projects.

 

This is just how BukkitDev works, there is no extra effort required by staff to have this feature.

This won't be changed until templates can be finished by Curse, which we are all patiently waiting to happen.

 

I wish BukkitDev was open-source, then we could all help out via pull requests.

 

Ohh thats why. When do you think templates can be finished by curse?

That is a fantastic question, but not one I have any good answer for. This is an incredibly huge task Curse has in front of them, and it is not going nearly as fast as anyone would like.

 

I also agree that is is a bit annoying, and there should at least be a toggle for it. However, as TnT has already stated, we are waiting on Curse's template project to finish before we hassle them with all this stuff, that way BukkitDev will, in the future, be easily updated, changed, and made more user-friendly as you guys request things.

Curse has been very kind in providing the assistance of their developers and other staff in order to help us make DBO bigger and better, and as soon as that is done you can rest assured that we've got a huge list of ideas that have come from you guys that we're giddy to implement
