|
|
As promised here's my second dark theme re-design . I have to say, this one was challenging, i spent 2 days debugging navigation . 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 .

| 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!!!

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. |

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 , next theme's header will be around 150px which is 3 times smaller than this one , i'll also try to use less graphics and make the page fluid rather than fixed.
Thanks again. _________________ simplified csv - easy way to handle csv files. |

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. _________________
