This is primarily for desktop clients. At the moment, formatting get a little crazy below 1280 px wide. There are ways to address this, but I have not at this time.

script will be updated as suggested

notice: current script unblurs NSFW

Wow that was fast! Although I’m not 100% sure its better (for high-res at least).

I think it still would look best if the banner is spanning the whole top, maybe up to the community-sidebar on the right (1) or even beyond that (2). I tried to highlight 1 & 2 in this poor greenshot cap :)
Anyway, thanks for your great work!!
