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.

very nice. i like. good to have more legible text for the control panel
Awesome design for FA and the search bar is also the one thing who misses here :(
Looks neat, but the area between the searchbox and the Featured header is a tad too cluttered.
The admin note and status message aren't permanent fixtures. I'm not even sure it would make sense to show both at the same time.
I like the layout -- the control panel box in the upper corner, for instance, is a nice touch -- but that color scheme is horrible.
I LIKE BLUE OK
The only other suggestions were gray, gray, and other gray. :( For those of you who are not complete faggots, maybe the dark theme will appeal more when I get around to 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

who the hell would use a color like red or green, that would take away from the art itself what the shit
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

You're welcome to your opinion. And I still say that color scheme sucks balls. Something a little less grating on the eyes would be nice.
Yes, I will stick with my color-theory backed opinion, thanks
yes, exactly. The scheme has to work with every single piece of art people post on the site.
Look at real life art galleries. They're always in boring white and beige for exactly this reason.

Nice to know that the admins here are so kind and civil about things.
Actually a picture with vibrant red/orange would clash with a light blue. If you want totally neutral you go with gray,white or black.
I was talking about how they are acting like this. "For those of you who are not complete faggots,"
That and the fact they have been given criticism and they act like people are attacking them.

*nods* I see that, that was my response to 'nothing clashes with light blue!'
what? the implication was that I ended up going with this blue because I am a complete faggot
also who is "they"? purplekecleon is not staff

i do have a question though. Are you still going to have monthly banner art or is it going to be like in the pic?
There will still be monthly banner art, but there won't be such a restriction on size. The big Fender is just a mockup banner.
I SEE A SEARCHBOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And the banner is really nice too. Looks like it's coming along great!

wtf i'm watching Vee?
I like it :D and fuck it. The colour scheme is fine. "Pale Blue" trumps "DARK RED LIKE MY BURNING SOUL."

I like the idea of the logo/banner graphic breaking out of it's box and interacting with the layout. I like that idea a ton.
Looks all nice, but the best feature I can see is the search option. <3
well of course. there's not even anything involved in supporting Opera.
my order of importance for rendering engines is something like: Gecko, Presto/Webkit, Trident 8, elinks, telnet, Trident 7, Trident 6

Telnet > IE7, hehe. Agreed.
Just curious, does KHTML fit in there, per chance? Or perhaps do you consider that falling in the realm of Webkit?
Thanks for the update, by the way.

I would be very surprised if KHTML broke on something major that Webkit did not.
Isn't KHTML being phased out, anyway? I thought the next Konqueror was being rewritten to just use Webkit directly.

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...)
I like the color scheme and Tango icons. I would make the navigation boxes at the top slightly less translucent to make them more readable, now the busy background shows through a bit too much.
Hum, may have a point there. My monitor is significantly wider than this, so there wasn't very much of the banner itself behind the nav boxes when I was writing it.
What's a WatchStream?
Is it like, your watching list or something?
Is it like, your watching list or something?
yes, but dynamic like livejournal instead of dicking around with messages that are constantly created and deleted
I very much like this, and would love to see FA given this makeover!
I don't like the colours, too saturated. I don't like all the little icons next to the links either. Other than that, like if they are optionally changeable, it would be great.
Ugh. Enter button.
*Seeing it made with actual data is impressive, and like most people, would like to see this improvement. Great work so far

Yeah I'm considering fading the background a little bit.
What's wrong with the icons? Without them you'd largely have a homogenous sea of links.

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~
that looks really awesome....has Dragoneer seen it??
btw...the lil Eevee plush you have in ur lil icon....i has one just like it

he needs to...he may consider it...damn...its something new than just this dark grey or lite blue/grey schemes
I'm kinda already in charge of replacing this whole system so... 8)
So juicy! Looking good, Eevee.
Also: Is that a mature ad in a non-mature submission?? D:
just messing.. I won't tell Neer, ;3

Does that mean "I don't know. I'm doing intermittent work on it," or "Never. This is just a concept design that I'm not working on any further, and Dragoneer wouldn't want to use it." ?

oh hurr I didn't see the "when" :V
not sure, so I guess the first of those options is pretty accurate :(

congrats, now i see this, you really make me wanna work on a layout / page design in sympathy for this site, really something else than the rework of artlimited i posted on lulz.
I agree with Sage that those colors are terrible but i also agree that the colors should not be dominating.
But id rather see dark gray or black than weird microsoft-ish blue.

wow this looks good. I'd probably prefer a darker look, but the blue one looks good
How did this image get +favorite for my account when I hadn't even viewed it?
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 understand how pale blue and simple round corners on buttons distract from user content. Aren't sharp corners more distracting, as they're jarring?
ffffffffffffffff of course it's your damn opinion, grow some balls and stick up for what you think
ffffffffffffffff of course it's your damn opinion, grow some balls and stick up for what you think
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!!!

Is it going to be as easy for me to adblock the header art and adverts as it is now?
No I am going to make sure that blocking ads but not real content is NP-complete.
Why do you hate people who would rather not be bombarded with advertising for crap they will never want?
(For the record, so far I have blocked the title image, the adverts and various donation-related stuff.)
(For the record, so far I have blocked the title image, the adverts and various donation-related stuff.)
I'm kidding. 8) There is zero inclination for me to obfuscate things in the name of preventing people from customizing what they see.
Im curious as to the banner... When you say that the one up there is not official and not final and all that... Does that mean we will no longer have user submitted banners every month?
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.

i think you should use black and red and other dark colors.
because of a number of factors
1 the light art will stand out more
2 dark colors like black and deep black-red are actully light on the eyes
3 there meditative colors
4 i like darkness.

my apologies, i didnt know this wasnt real any more sorry for sailting an old wound, im just a major geek and love cool programing.
blue and black are my favorite colors. this looks awesome. it should be used
I heard about that but that dosent mean they cancled it does it ?
No, but it hasn't really moved much in the meantime: http://twitter.com/ferrox
It really sucks though that your no longer on the project. You had some great ideas D:
Just wondering... is this like, a new theme for FA or something?
Sorry I'm clueless..
I was just thinking of having a better theme than the dark and light default ones o.x

It was to be a total rewrite of FA, and this was a draft of the theme.
Looks awesome, Im just hoping it actually happens sometime this century.
man it has changed a lot since this screenshot
nothing looks like this pic :(
i wish it looked like this
