Updated site layout

DooMAD · December 13th, 2005, 02:56 PM

I've been tweaking the layout for my website so that it works a little better in firefox and also replaced some javascript in the navigation menu with a nice CSS effect (some people disable javascript anyway). So... Which is better?

The current design for the site, which I've been using since July.

-or-

The new layout, which I just spent 5 hours on (Only one page so far, just to test it).

Fixes / Improvements:

Better firefox compatiblity,
CSS instead of JavaScript,
no more gap at the bottom of the page in higher resolutions,
removal of the {overflow:auto;} attribute, since firefox doesn't support coloured scrollbars and it looked a bit messy

I like the new one better. I don't have to scroll sideways, and it's overall cleaner.

Someone on IRC said that the navigation bar images were too small, so I made another version. This one has larger nav buttons and an extra "Progress" panel to show more maps. I think this is the one I want to use now. Hopefully I'll get time to update the entire site tomorrow.

Looks pretty damn good man, I like the update ! Just as long as it stays evil looking heh.
Fatal's right, it is cleaner looking though.

Holy crap, that's a long link list!

Heh, it's only going to get longer. I've already found a few more to add.
