You're fed up with it. I'm fed up with it. I'm gonna implement this one no matter what anyone says... muhahahahah!!! :)<br><br>OK, I'll play fair and give you a chance to rip it to shreds first:<br>http://www.pocketgamer.org/test/index.shtml<br><br>Please bear in mind that it's not meant to look stunningly beautiful (i.e. a 999 creation), it's the content that's important.<br><br>Oh, and if anyone's using Netscape 4.7 (my official test version of NS!), it looks pathetic. NS 4.7 doesn't do borders. Useless browser.<br><br>Oh, and I haven't put the stuff that normally goes in right at the bottom yet. I'm lazy. :)<br><br> -Mike http://www.pocketgamer.org<br>

I like it, but it's a little too white. Maybe make the right panel more yellow.

It WAS more yellow beforehand, Moose. I think it looks good. Concise.

Thanks for the feedback, guys! It was a conscious decision to try and make it a little less "glaring" than the current colour scheme, but I may yet try out a brighter shade of yellow if there's enough demand.<br><br> -Mike http://www.pocketgamer.org<br>

Make where it used to be yellow, green. That'll be cool.

I like the headers which say "Sponsors", "Poll", etc. The "New!"-thing also looks cool - is that background grey? (too lazy to test it) Make it light grey. That would look cool :). I won't say anything about the rest of the layout, because I'm not a great helper cause I like almost anything you did with it, so...

I think the contrast of the green on blue would be nice, or you can make the whole thing green to be puke-ilious. What's wrong puke-ilious?

Thanks, guys! Sorry, Warren, I don't think I'll go down the green route, much as I'd love my site to look puke-ilious... ;)<br><br>BTW, the "New" box colour is a sort of light blue/greyish shade... if anyone cares, here's the hex code: F4,F4,FF<br><br>The only slight problem is that I haven't yet made it fully PIE-compatible yet, but that should be fairly easy to accomplish.<br><br> -Mike http://www.pocketgamer.org

I think you should make the dark blue tv-lines header into the same gradient as on the box captions. Here is a little bit of Photoshop work I made:<br><br>Image<br>[sup]it looks a bit weird around the logo in this version, but yours won't since you won't do it the crappy way I did...[/sup]<br><br>An other thing...in IE6 public beta 1 the menus disappear when you hover the text of an item in the menus/menubar.<br><br>Fredrik.

Thanks, Fredrik! I'm off to find a copy of IE6 and see what it's done to my menus...<br><br>And I'll give your gradient idea a go, too - nice idea! :)<br><br> -Mike http://www.pocketgamer.org<br>
