Work Continues on New Front Page Theme

Actually there is.

Well, then I assume you imply that they are gone in the final version, right?

The yellow bars seperate each area from each other. Removing them would make the page feel squished.

I wasn't saying anything about removing them but rather turning the tone of the colour down.

Nah, the 56.6 users probably wouldn't like the extra bandwidth that would take (about 100K). Neither would the server for that matter.

So why even go for it as the dividing line, either you follow oyur style through, or you think of something else. I for one would not like to see a style that is not at least tried followed through.

I'll think on it. Curving the outer rectangles would involve a *lot* of code that would have to be sent to the browser each time the page loads. Surprisingly this new style is about the same size as the one it is replacing - a little smaller even - but I hesitate to add much else to it over concerns of fluff.

Personally it doesn't bother me that the major bar (and the ad tab) is curved off and the others are square.

 

[AGGEMAM]

As a possible compomise you could consider is rounding the edge on the big ad-box on the right and toning the yellow colour down, that would make the small boxes appear rounded somewhat.

Uh,what he said. With all the other colors being dark those bright shiney yellow lines are glaring. Definatly need to be switched to a more subdued color.

Ok, You guys' suggestions have been duly noted and here is the result. More comments welcome.

It's a little..errr.... greeen, but, while it's still good, I had no problem with the first one

 

[Darrin Drader]

When posted side by side with the current one, I'm definitely in favor of the new one. It has a nice look to it.

That's a definate improvement! The darker color on those lines makes then far less glaring. The new ones easier on the eyes and shouldn't draw attention away from everything else on the page, like the bright yellow ones did.
