I sometimes get carried away when I get on a roll with my designs, woke nice and early and kept going, didn’t even pause for coffee and breakfast, everything was going well and I had the new non flash header completed to the point I could start spitting out all the images for the randomizer [...]
Soon done, a lot of code went into this re-fresh, I’ll get around to fixing the too large/unsuitable preview images bellow later.
Some subpages like comments etc are also in need of attention, I’ll finish them later today.
The header is still in early stages and I’m considering scrapping it for an all css/png one, flash sure [...]
I’m implementing the new theme, for convenience’s sake I based it on the old one, so there will be a transition period when it’s mixed and quite ugly, give me a couple of hours and I’ll get it sorted.
This current theme will remain as an optional theme to pick, but the new standard theme will look like this:
Click for preview page.
Some of the design you can trace back to the current theme, but it’s much improved, slimmer, and more refined, It’s the primary reason why posts have been scarce the last [...]
Working on a flash based gallery/design section of the site:
Click for full size.
Jazzed up the navigation some with hover effects and added a mail link.
Fixed all rendering issues in IE6 by removing the offending elements (sidebars etc) and I’ll add a menu with the missing navigation items later, it’s not navigable in IE6 currently but it’s legible.
Considering making the sidebars and related navigations into tables if IE6 is detected, not a small job but would retain the look and [...]
Fixed up the coat page to better match the new design, some minor polish added here and there, IE6 “optimization” begun, argh that browser doesn’t like CSS.
Added navigation tabs *points at the upper left of the screen* I wanted em to look good and be relatively small (hence the lack of text) but I also wanted them to be clear enough not by feel like mystery meat navigation.
Input is highly appreciated.
Fixed the scaling issues with the header stand in and the sidebar, scales well all the way down to 1024×768, 800×600 is a dud though, but I’m guessing people don’t use that res anymore, I’ll upload an alternate css in a few hours that makes the layout fixed on mobile devices.
