sneak peak of new layout

Red Squirrel · Post by **Red Squirrel** » Tue Aug 24, 2004 3:23 am

Not quite done yet but since it's 3:30am figured I did enough for tonight.

This is what I have so far, I think it turned out good. The black blur thingy shows where the logo will be. I just did not make it yet.

Not suppost to be, but sort of turned out like that eh... The dark purple line is suppost to be the shadow of the blue bar. But I'll keep playing around with it today. I can even wait till all graphics are done and just play with the chanel mixer, that way if I use the same setting for each image they'll still match when they tile. The jpg compression makes it look more purple then it looks in my browser though. And the logo will add more to it since it's kind of plain now and the black "paint spill" is not the nicest

if you go that dark around the outside area then make sure you darken up the pad we post on so it does not become too bright and wash out the fonts
you got to do things equal on all of them. i figure you might know that but i have to remind you anyway

Yeah things will be a bit darker, but I'll try with keeping the inside whitish how it is in the pic to see how it goes if it clashes too much I'll have to make it all dark colors. The forum will probably stay brighter though since there will only be the header that will be dark blue, so I might make matching borders/table titles and that's about it. I might even not make a new forum layout right away but simply change the graphics.

holy crap you should see this layout in IE... IE SUCKS. Half the W3C compliant code I used is ingored by IE. And it's probably going to stay that way too.

Red, just out of curiousity... you're still using IE 5.5 right? You might also try upgrading to IE 6 SP1 to see how it handles the layout

That looks kind of cool, I'm definately feeling it doesn't have a professional feel to it though, but I do like it's simplicity.

Yeah once I have the whole site done I'll decide on the forums. I might go lazy and just replace the graphics instead of remaking the template.

don't worry it will, it will just take a while for the forum since it takes anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks to make a template from scratch. That's why I'll see what I can do from simply replacing graphics and css.

I'll close this since I started a thread on the new layout here. It has now been applied to the site with only a few adjustments to make.
