New site colors!

Jeff · May 15, 2002, 10:41 PM

Well I re-did the site's colors, in an attempt to differenciate the site from Rage3D. How do you like the new color scheme? Post a rating in the poll, and post any feedback in this thread.

I like the colours....easy on the eyes and are appealing.

Ryoko · May 15, 2002, 10:57 PM

it looks pretty damn good, good work, soldier!

Mr V · May 15, 2002, 11:20 PM

Yeh, nice `n` clean!

Good work,fella!

Jeff · May 15, 2002, 11:42 PM

Hopefully it helps some people complaining about the white text on the old backround.

Kicks ass cyborg!!!!!

I like the better contrast, and the varying blue helps keep it all sorted.

When ya gonna notch the font size down a skotch?

Zardon · May 16, 2002, 06:35 AM

looks like size 16...

i kinda like size 12 or 13 myself

Jeff · May 16, 2002, 03:42 PM

Yeah well, if I do a size smaller, then it gets way too small, I think this is perfect on 1024x768, and thats pretty much what the site is designed to run on.

digitalwanderer · May 16, 2002, 04:07 PM

I just hate having to go to all the trouble of actually pushing my mousewheel down and rolling it up a notch.

Andrew275 · May 16, 2002, 08:24 PM

We're not specifying absolute font sizes or percentages, so if we bumped the font size down one notch, it would be quite a bit smaller.

Ryoko · May 16, 2002, 08:26 PM

odd... on this computer, the text size is fine. on my computer at home, it was all bloated... on second note, on my computer at home, my above post showed different font sizes for every "test". on this computer, they are all the same size.

Zardon · May 16, 2002, 08:31 PM

all IE same version? weird

Ryoko · May 16, 2002, 08:36 PM

my home computer has ie5, this computer has ie6.

UberLord · May 16, 2002, 08:39 PM

Well, the only way to force IE to show different stuff on different version is to use the !DOCTYPE switch in strict mode - then IE6 actually follows W3C standards!

And driverheaven isn't using this, so I dunno why the fonts should be in different sizes unless you have "Large fonts" enabled in Display->Properties or one computer doesn't have the right font installed

Zardon · May 16, 2002, 08:43 PM

ive tried this on an old computer with IE5 on it.... its working fine if I set it to medium type .. can you take a screenie and post it?

i'm betting that this computer doesn't have the right font installed... my fonts at home changed size in the test post...

but then again, if my computer has the right fonts, they are WAY too big

i'd have to be at home. if my test post has different sizes for you, the size i saw on my computer was size 16.

Zardon · May 16, 2002, 10:19 PM

yes I got your screenie there, the text looks like LARGER on my setup, must be IE5.5 weird

Andrew275 · May 16, 2002, 10:40 PM

This HTML currently isn't strict compliant, so I don't think it would be good to put that in the Doctype right now.

But yes, I've heard of this issue on IE 5.x. 'Tis weird.
