Re: New look!

Quote originally posted by cscgal ...
Hey folks. Thanks for the comments. We are now using Arial and I think it's good to go. Anyone have a problem / qualm with this font? Minor things on the new style are still being tweaked. I may put a box around the forum signatures, but if I do, it will be extraordinarily subtle. The idea of the new design was to look more professional (corporate, actually) while be much cleaner and much easier to navigate. I'm not so sure I'm entirely happy with the results yet, but I'm working on yet! But those are the goals
The new font is fine by me, thanks for the change

I still feel a background for the signatures would be good, but at least a box. Here's one example of why (posts 2-5):

Re: New look!

Dare I say it. I like the layout. I'm not a big fan of the color scheme. I'm typing this reply in a 3-toned pastel purple box. I have the faint taste of grape Bubblicious bubblegum in my mouth. I have the urge to draw a unicorn, and change all the dots above my "i"s into bubbly heart shapes.

Re: New look!

Change the color of the pannel surrounding the textbox. It's more grey instead of purple now. Can you tell?

Re: New look!

Yeah, I can tell. The overall affect as one traverses the site, though, is a bit too "precious" for my tastes.

But it isn't about me. If your goal was to create a tech site that didn't conform to the Microsoft-induced "tech" color scheme, you did it. Also, if you wanted, consciously or not, to underscore the site is operated by a "girl", you did that too!

I'll just to balance my time here with visits to some manly site.

Re: New look!

Here's a site (blog site) that has what I think is a nice "neutral" color scheme:

Dani - don't stress too much about colors. As long as the site is readable (which it is), then you're ok.

Re: New look!

That color scheme might be "neutral" on that site but it's not as nice. I don't find this site "girly" and there's not that much purple anymore.
In my opinion, Dani, you're doing an awesome job with the site.

Re: New look!

Agreed, what is girly to some is manly to others and neutral to most of us. I like the purple.
