make banners display in a consistent manner,
right now banners basically have countless ways of displaying,
for example, the aspect ratios of banners are basically different on each page
and when you zoom in/out with a browser, it also changes the aspect ratio banners
current problem with this system:
it's essentially impossible to make a banner that always displays properly, basically meaning that only single colored or repeated pattern banners are universally compatible
so basically, what darflen should strive for is set aspect ratios for banners to ALWAYS display in, every other platform does it that way, so why would darflen be the exception?
here are some aspect ratios that are very close to the ones we currently have have on darflen:
1. strip (6:1, is only used for user pills)
2. panorama (3:1, is currently used for desktop)
3. television (4:3, is used for mobile pages)
since aspect ratios are so different, it would be preferable to essentially allow users to upload 3 different files (strip, panorama, television) or 2 for communities (panorama, television) that have to match with specific ratios
here comes a new problem, what if the users are too lazy and dont care about their banner looking wacky???
users would have the ability to select between 2 banner display modes,
1. legacy, would work like it currently does, only needs 1 file
2. current, would work like how the suggestion mentions it and would help communities and profiles look more polished
im sorry, i'll not make suggestions for a while now
