Thanks for any feedback

Dont like the alert colour.

Its a nice layout BUT Thybag is a computer site so it should have the latest style of layouts? In my opinion it should be a nice clean layout opposed to that which is quite pixely?

the current style of content boxes i like so much better then plain white.

Personaly im not a massive fan of "clean" layouts since they all have a tendency to look the same as each other, ive always aimed for thybag to be more on the alternative and different side, so i dont really want the layout to appear as just another generic web 2.0 styled site "/

the current style of content boxes i like so much better then plain white.

You mean in terms of colour or that they form seperate modules, since im not really sure how i can combine the two "/


Thanks everyone for the feedback

Don't really think the black and greyish color go well together.

i meant in like the shape with the border all the way around

I like it but the colour of the greys and blacks needs to be changed.

To be honest I like it all apart from the top 'banner' area for the following reasons:

• The blue banner doesnt go
• The register 'button' looks completely out of place
• The login button doesnt fit the style

Thats pretty good feedback, as the register login bit isnt really part of the layout, its a copy of the current thybags i used to judge the sizes :p

Also ive redone the header, although im not sure i like it or not yet. Plus is there a colour you would suggest instead of blue?


*note the alien is just a place holder im planning to do him in full flash for the final site, the banner background will probabaly change from just a lense flair as well.

humm well in the previous layouts that actualy took up alot of space, in this one i wanted to give more room to the content so it would work better for smaller browsers resolutions etc, plus load somewhat faster

As to people commenting on the colours, i really would like to stick the the silver/blank colour skeme as a whole as its kind whats identified with the site "/ If anyone has any suggestions on minor changes in the colours though to a better sliver/ black gradiants etc, id be happy to take a look though "/
