The Platform developers are preparing to release a new theme (visual style) for Making Music Platforms in the next few weeks. When it's released, in a few short steps you will be able to adopt it for your Platform, to give it a new look. It would be a bit like having a new/redesigned website, but with all your existing content.
You are under no obligation to switch your Platform to the new theme - the existing themes will remain active indefinitely. Switching to the new theme will take about 30 minutes' work:
You will need:
- A version of your logo suitable for a dark background. It should typically be a PNG or GIF file and have a transparent background.
- New photos for your slideshow. Most current Platforms require that the slideshow photos be exactly 1150 x 448 pixels. This new theme does not require exact sizes for slideshow photos, but they should be approximately 1200 x 700 pixels as they will be shown full screen. Your existing slideshow photos will still work, but they may look pixelated or distorted.
- Some basic knowledge of HTML. If you don't have such knowledge, or don't have the inclination to do the change yourselves, the developers will be happy to do this for a one-off fee of £30 (+ VAT)
Further details on implementing this theme will be announced at the time of release.
