As promised here's my second dark theme re-design Very Happy

. I have to say, this one was challenging, i spent 2 days debugging navigation Laughing

. Good news is that i tested it in A-Grade browsers and it renders as expected, there is 1 bug but it's tough to spot and is really unimportant.

Please vote and comment.

This theme is fixed width just like the previous one, next one will be fluid Wink

It is? Isn't there a "command" button instead of "control" on mac?

control is the same, but command replaces alt.

Just for fun, the backwards keyboard reminds me of this post at Photoshop Disasters

I like it, but the top image seems a little big... it takes up more than half my screen

Isn't using serif characters for an online publication a typical "HTML noob design" kinda thing?? Yes, it is. Change that NOW!!! Mad

I think the text on the buttons (quick-start tutorials, documentation, etc) is... too plain.

Otherwise, I like it.

My biggest problem is that it gives the impression of a shareware product advertisement page rather than an open source programming tool.

yeah and it still a little to complicaded, reserths has shown that more peaple like a plain site insted of one with strong colors and graphic animations
better then the first attemt but not as good as the original site. keep on working you have a gift for design and good html skills. you ave the potensial to make weary goos site

BoBo² What's up with all the hate? To answer your question the only font used on the page is Arial, the rest is images. Duh!

Thanks for all the comments and votes Very Happy

, next theme's header will be around 150px which is 3 times smaller than this one Laughing

, i'll also try to use less graphics and make the page fluid rather than fixed.
Thanks again.

I like this better than your previous attempt, but like the original site better than either;
The reason for this is that I'm not a big fan of scrolling around a lot to get to what I'm after;
The narrow margins make you have to scroll, scroll, scroll to see everything that's on the page;
If you have to include 'Start of Page' links, the page is too long.

Further, the gia-nor-mungus header, though extremely well designed (short of the backwards Mac keyboard),
takes up entirely too much real estate.
