Remove old wooden borders from story art?

Should we alter the story artwork to remove the old border?

Below are some quick edits as an example.

how about that new "nordic" map border of yours on them?

Yes. The old borders...suck, IMO.

Dunno. I think they might look just as out of place as the wooden ones.

The full screen stretch works rather nicely with actual artwork, though.

I strongly support this, and no, I don't think they should have any borders.

Kestenvarn; please continue with the edits, or assign any you'd like to me (e.g. just tell me which ones I should do).

We've still got:
rough_landing.png
story1.png
the_great_continent.png
the_green_isle.png

The latter two, I'd love to have replaced entirely by your maps - IIRC you're working on this right now, over in Art Development.

(Hell, I sure wouldn't mind having the other two story pictures that were ripped from HttT replaced, too.)

(I already committed the last two.)

But yeah.

*shrug*

They look better than what preceded them, at a minimum of work.

I am sure you are aware they were initially made for Heir to the Throne, the campaign around which Wesnoth was developed. In the 0.7.x era IIRC.

Yes, 0.7.x had these story images.

Actually they were there even in some of the earliest versions - perhaps as early as 0.5. Kestenvarn was aware of this, though.

Soft-lock on this thread - please don't reply unless you have something very useful to say. This thread has served its purpose, and any discussion of project history can be taken somewhere else.
