Which layout?

[Fireworkz.]

Which layout to use?

http://www.****************/uploads/9afe30bb1e.png Layout 1
or
http://www.****************/uploads/45ba15a473.png Layout 2

Say which one and why, also vote in the poll.
Also, say how I can improve them both

Edit - I also don't care if you don't like any of them I just want to know which one out of the two are better.

Too heavy-er gradients.

I'm not a fan of either of them but I guess layout 1.

Okay, thanks. I'll lower the gradient and re-post them

[adm]

Lower the opacity.

And I don't like people who hold revenge grudges...

Layouts should be standard and effective.

No shadows on boxes etc .. Try different font aswell.. That one Suxxors.

Layout 1. it looks better than the other layout as its all in a border

[Alterate]

Don't like the red background but yeah layout 1.

Not red, too bad on the eyes, maybe a blue or a green?
