White line
Am i the only one getting a white line in the centre of the page? (That is in the background of the back ie this image). Found this "class="background-image-gradient" that seams to be causing it... is that supposed to be there? Terrorblades  - This is recorded live at  12:40, May 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * I don't see any white line, but I'll check it on some other machines with different browsers to be sure. If I can, I'll poke around the CSS and see if it looks in order. If you could cut and paste the gradient thing you found, that might help me find it. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 20:52, May 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * File:White_line.png this is of course zoomed out abit but there it is. Terrorblades  - This is recorded live at  20:58, May 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks! Try clearing your browser cache, just in case. (long shot).&mdash;Moviesign (talk) 21:18, May 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * Ok well that didn't change any thing... Well I mean I don't mind the white line I'm just curious to what that is and what is for? But I'm guessing that its not intentional? Terrorblades  - This is recorded live at  21:24, May 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I've tried 3 different browsers on two different computers and I don't see that white line. I can't find that file name in any of the CSS files. Let me know if you find out where it is coming from. &mdash;Moviesign (talk) 01:13, May 17, 2014 (UTC)

It's based on the size of your browser window. In the Oasis/Wikia skin, Wikia fixes the background image to the size of the article window (so that pictures in the margins aren't obscured). If you stretch your browser window to the size of a widescreen monitor (as Terrorblades clearly has), then Wikia splits the image and introduces a gap to maintain alignment in the margins (note how "Peldan's H" is shown in all views). So, it's not a bug, it's a feature. :) Normally, it's covered by advertising and other Wikia cruft, though some browsers, window sizes, or certain pages may show it more noticeably. I barely see it in Firefox and a narrower window size.

I did try to use a widescreen image, but I guess it wasn't widescreen enough (certainly not for Terrorblades' monster monitor ;) ). There's probably other options one could set, but they're not obvious in the Theme Designer. — BadCatMan (talk) 01:51, May 17, 2014 (UTC)


 * I've set it to "tile", so it apparently won't split now. — BadCatMan (talk) 01:54, May 17, 2014 (UTC)
