*EASY UPDATE* Add a wallpaper/background to the site!
*) Quick fact: Back before 2012 there was a cool background with mountains and blue ( http://www.roblox.com/ROBLOX-background-2011-item?id=184193356 ), and on Christmas, beautiful blue with snowflakes, ( http://www.roblox.com/Snowflake-background-2011-item?id=184194074). Why on earth is that gone? WHY PLAIN WHITE? WHY? I actually thought it was an error when I first saw the update of it becoming white, and restarted my computer, that's how ridiculous it is. Even the login screen gets a background but not the main site?
1) Just a plain white background is boring, especially to who the site is for, kids. Wow white, su amazing!!1 Nope. Kids like cool backgrounds, at least ones with texture. A kids game should have a kid friendly background, one that isn't boring! It’s like having plain white walls at Chuckie E Cheeses birthday parties. Also, when a new person first visits the site, the first thing they see is the plain boring white background. That's a horrible first impression, they’ll leave instead of join ROBLOX. At least put the old mountain background back, a new one would be nice too, as long as it's a background, anything would be nice!
2) Just plain white is just too bright. It hurts your eyes if you’re on the site even for just a few minutes because of all the bright whiteness. Foruming is especially hard when you’re reading on a super bright screen. A background would solve the eye problems. My eyes actually hurt while typing this right now.
3) Over-usage of a single color background on the internet is getting annoying now. Every website suddenly thinks they’re windows 8, including ROBLOX now. What happened to those colorful sites from the late 90's to early 00's? Now everything is just a flat color and the main menu is always off to a three-line sidebar. It's really annoying and bland. I bet by 2020 the home page to every website will just be large text saying "Welcome to [Website Name Here] with a flat pastel-colored background consisting of only one shade of said color, with a three-line sidebar in the upper-left corner. In fact, it's already happened to MySpace. No, seriously, look at MySpace now, it's a complete wreck. They also did it to the ROBLOX blog. Everytime I see a website do this my reaction is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8SWMAQYQf0&t=4m13s
4) It’s such an easy thing to do to add a background. It's not scripting or chemistry. So why on earth shouldn’t we have one? Why be boring with this blank whiteness? ROBLOX updates the way the buttons look but not the biggest thing, the background?
----------------------- [ TLDR ] [ TLDR ] [ TLDR ] [ TLDR ] [ TLDR ] [ TLDR ]
*) We had one before, whys it gone? 1) White is plain and boring, not for kids, and unattractive for visitors. Its like having just white at a Chuck E Cheese’s birthday party 2) Just plain white is just too bright 3) Stop trying to be windows 8 along with myspace and pretty much every other website, its overused and annoying now 4) Easy update, no reason not to have a background
----------------------- Please support! Reply your objections and such and I will reply back! Also keep bumping this so ROBLOX admins see it! Don't let this die! ________________________________________________________ I, and the supporters below, believe that the ROBLOX site would look and feel cooler, and more like a community, if there was a background/wallpaper |

@InfinitelyHannah
I understand that reason for a website for adults, such as a windows 8 site, but ROBLOX is a kids site, and kids want cool, not fancy |

| You can easily do this with JS and CSS. |

Ik you can use extensions and all, but believe many, many kids don't bother or know how to. Also many people dont trust alot of extensions
ROBLOX should just naturally have a background that everyone sees |

As a 2010er, seeing that background gave me huge nostalgia I miss those times And I agree, most people don't have OBC and have boring white backgrounds They should at least change them seasonally or change them for Christmas, halloween, and other big Holidays |

"Ik you can use extensions and all, but believe many, many kids don't bother or know how to. Also many people dont trust alot of extensions

I can see that kids won't bother learn a programming language, but it's the same as learning an international language, like Spanish. The education for Technology is low for elementary children (ex. MS Office projects, and typing.) and I would really like to see a school for elementary children that allows programming languages.
I agree that JS could jack up your computer in some extensions and render it useless.
It would be really neat if they'd just show a background but this is easily scriptable with extensions like Stylish or Greasemonkey (or Tampermonkey in Google Chrome) |

Eh lets just try to make ROBLOX look better
the fact that people have to use extensions and such makes it look like roblox cant manage its site, etc |

I miss it, but ROBLOX is directed more to teenagers now than kids, so though it would be cool to have it would be useless.
u sicko! |
