The 20 pixel Georgia font of my old layout was starting to bother me, so I decided to whip this layout up! It may not be my best work, but I think it's pretty good. The only thing that I wish I had done a better job on was the header. It's kinda just a gradient and some text. One thing that I really like is the icons from pinvoke. I noticed on their site that there was a new version of the icons, and decided to redownload them and use them for this layout. It really helped it. :)
Well, that's all I really have to say about my new layout. I never have anything good to say when I finish a new layout. I'll leave you to comment about it. ;)
Suggestions:
1. WHY IS THERE SO MUCH PADDING AT THE TOP? D: Yes, the capslock was necessary. It looks really weird.
2. The links just look like bolded text, so add an underline or something?
3. There is also a lot of padding at the bottom. :P
Other than that, it's nice. :)
[quote=50]@Clem[/quote]: Oops, when you have a huge resolution the 100 pixels of padding doesn't look that weird. I shrunk it down to 5% so it doesn't look too small on larger screens. I also took your other suggestions and made the links have the dotted border without having to hover over. Thanks! :)
There's also a ton of padding for the content (top and left) and the navigation (top and right)... But it really does look nice! Very sleek :)
[quote=52]@Kaylee[/quote]: You aren't going to get me to changed that! :P Thanks for the comment. ;)
The comments are very confusing to read. You ought to space them out. Also, the "Name said..." bit would be better above the comment.
I think you should reconsider sorting the padding out. It may seem alright on your screen, but it may not for others. I have a 1800x800 resolution which is quite large, however the padding still looks off. All it takes is a simple "margin: auto 0;". Placing that into your container styling will centre the layout.
I do like the header, especially the colour.
I dislike how you have all this space for navigation but you never use it. Also, I agree with Sarah. The comments confused me a bit and I when I was reading them, I thought, "Why would Clem talk to herself?" Move them to the top, please.
Other than those things, this layout is very nice.
But the content area's padding is so unbalanced; there's a lot of white space on the left but a regular amount of space on the right :P
I see nothing wrong with more padding on the top and left of the content. I actually really like it. Maybe I'm just weird.
If Vasili were to even it out there would either be too much padding or too little. But I only say that because I've seen it the way it is now and like it. I'm a betch.
The unbalanced thing just kinda works here.
I like it :). It's simple, but it's nice. Though, I do agree with Kaylee - the padding is really odd. I don't like how there's a ton of space on the left, with an unbalanced amount of space on the right, either. Symmetry, please :P.
Looks great, but I agree with everyone else. If you're going to have "Name said..." you should put it at the top. If you want to keep it at the bottom, change the wording!
