See I do stuff occasionally. This is going to be what you see when you click a username in Ferrox. Profile stuff like favorite... shell (wtf?) will go on its own page so you can type a real bio and we can add more fields without cramming it all on this page.
This is real actual HTML on real actual data (well, real garbage data) in the real codebase. Not an Inkscape mockup.
Some of it is dummy data for things that aren't implemented yet or that I.. didn't get around to putting in the template.
Of note:
1. I had to cut this shot down so it would fit in FA's teeny upload size. Under Featured is another similar block called Gallery that has, well, just recent stuff.
2. I took this screenshot before I remembered to add icons to the Journal/Shouts headers. Oops.
3. LOGO NOT FINAL I JUST FUCKED AROUND IN GIMP FOR TWO MINUTES. Real logo ideas more than welcome!
4. Yeah yeah I'll see about a dark theme sometime you bastards.
5. This all works beautifully in Opera with zero modification but will probably choke horrible in IE6. 8) Going to do crap browser support LAST so I don't have to keep going back and dicking around with it.

How about other colors? Surely, green or red or purple isn't out of the question? I mean, jeez, I wouldn't mind a little color being used on FA if it wasn't so grating on the eyes in appearance.
Perhaps you should look at this for some help: http://wellstyled.com/tools/colorsc...../index-en.html

I honestly find that using colors that aren't even close to neutral usually doesn't do much for looking at the art on a site; I am pretty sure that is why sites like deviantart and even this colorscheme for fa (the light gray/bluish one) are really neutralized, it makes sense for it
if you have something too colorful it'll shift how you see the other colors in a picture

Maybe your monitor needs adjusting.

I know about internet color wheels, thanks.

Did a little reading to try and answer your question, but up-to-date and clear answers aren't easy to find, so it seems. From what I read, though, I think KHTML won't be completely phased out, since people are still working on it for various reasons, but I think chances are that we'll see switchable renderers in Konqueror. (Then, quite likely, KHTML will wither away in relevance from lack of use...)
Hmm...well its not that they're wrong, it just seems unnecessary compared to how FA looks now, without them. or, i suppose, when most sites have appealing icons, they're monochrome, like DA's are green, to blend with the grey/green scheme. maybe if they were monochromed in blue, id have to see it though.
it maybe just be the saturated colour overall, might be biasing me. i think there are slightly too many colours too, but...that's just me, of course. i just mean like the little yellow accents and orange around the "Edit". things like that is all. hope it helps!

But what FA has now is... well, a homogeneous sea of links. 8) And DA's aren't all green; the ones in the header are all sorts of colors. Only the ones in the actual content section are green, and the ones I've used for content so far are light gray.
I'll try bumping the saturation on the background down for the next page I style.
The edit button is deliberately orange because it's admin functionality. I don't like UI where admin stuff just appears with no indication that it's special or important or unique at all; it makes it hard to see at a glance what extra powers you have and leaves you prone to misclicks.

oh if that's just admin stuff, nevermind me. as for the icons, you're right. and I think what didnt bother me about the top buttons being full colour was that they, too, weren't very saturated. might be the blue tabs around them too, but, ill just wait and see what you come up with next~
It looks bloated,
just because it has round corners and shiny things does not make it practical,
someone should have told that to Microsoft when they ditched the windows 98 look in favor of bubbles and neon lights...
but at least its an effort...
and must we give offerings to the gods in turn for some kind of search engine?
thats the only real thing i wouldnt mind seeing,
now as long as theres an option to see FA as it currently is, (as some kind of legacy mode) would be cool
but i dun want muh page look leik dat. :[
the way it is right now looks much more professional then that.
but what do i know.... im just a cat... Meow.

"Bloated" means there is too much unnecessary cruft; what exactly are you referring to?
Round corners also do not make things impractical, but having simple boxes everywhere can easily make things ugly, which renders them harder to use.
There will not be a legacy mode. If there are problems with this layout, they need fixing.
I don't know what you mean by "professional" with regard to the current look, either. I rarely see professional sites slapped together with a lot of borders and two shades of gray.

it has more eye candy then is necessary,
round corners and colors and stuff are distracting from the star of the show: User Content
Simplistic non eye catching backgrounds are nice in a gallery since your eye is attracted to the
users art instead of the site itself,
-remember that all this is just my opinion though.

i don't believe that an operating system OR a web page should be a work of art,
i think the content should.
i think the minimal design of the current FA is really nice as it is,
and the only thing i see it needing is a search engine,
im not saying this here is ugly, as it obviously took SOME thought and artistry, and i applaud you for being a fellow GIMP user too.
but i just don't like it. it looks like a child's toy with all the rounded corners, bright colors and huge buttons and what not.
the simplicity of FA as it is right now is part of what attracted me here in the first place,
I don't want it to look like it was made by Little Tykes with big flashy round buttons and fancy eye catching stuff.
its websites like that that are difficult to navigate and use since they have so many distractions and stuff
in short : I DUN LIEK EET!!!

I like the header structure, how it puts the banner up big and integrated.
But I like our old table style better. My philosophy is generally that everything that isn't interesting contents should preferrably take less space, so no big thick headline blocks and large fonts. Also you have about 3 different styles going on.
I like it blue.

Yes, you're right. The current version actually has far smaller headers, and I like it a lot more. Same background, so they are still easy to scan for, but they don't gobble space.
The proliferation of styles is probably because I am a terrible artist and stumbling along blindly. What caught your eye?
Thanks.

No, but it hasn't really moved much in the meantime: http://twitter.com/ferrox
