Thoughts?

I don't like how you have to go to a specific tab to read the "about channel" segment, now. I mean, it was pretty convenient that people could simply glance at the side of the channel to see what your channel is about. But as usual, Youtube doesn't like convenience. Hooray for having to make the effort to research a channel's purpose.

Also, it's white. My gosh, why you taking away all my color? It was bad enough when I was forced to use generic grey slab.

I'm gonna experiment with it, and then switch back to my grey slab while I still can.

Edit. Actually, nevermind. I'm kinda digging the new channel layout. It's giving me more options than the grey slab ever did. Having the "about channel" section hidden isn't that big a deal. They have a slot for channel welcomes for non-subscribers. And I'm able to upload a banner on top of my channel.

That said, it's not a very clean layout.

So I started working on getting a banner for my channel. And what I did was measure the banner on your channel for mine. It turned out to be exactly 1060 by 176. Weird but whatever. So I spent the time and picked something I liked. Then Youtube tells me that my image is too small. Even though it's the exact same size as yours. It tells me that it needs to be freaking 2120 by 1192! WHY?!

So whatever, I went back in and blew what I had up to the extreme size that youtube says has to be at least that big. And THEN it tells me the image is too big and I need to use their little tool to crop out a small section of it.

Facepalm.

So what I ended up having to do was take the big image, and then placing the smaller one in the center of it. Save it, upload it, and use their cropping tool to pick the smaller center part to make it look like how I wanted.

Stupidest thing ever.

It's because the banner I have isn't just the banner, it's part of a larger image. Apparently the image is being used across multiple devices, and the reason it has to be that big is because of the possibility of it being seen on a TV. Not sure how that works. But anyway, the banner is pretty much just the center portion of the TV-friendly image.

Thanks for the heads up Lantis. I haven't changed over yet, but I was wondering about that. Looks good Dray!

I don't even remember the last time I read anyone's about section. Kinda glad it's gone to make room for more useful information.

I generally don't, either, but I have multiple types of projects and figure that having the about section visible would help people not walk away from my channel just because they didn't like the one project they looked at.
