Hey,

Could you people check out something I've been working on?

http://plagiarist.com/4.0/

Basically I would like to know if it looks insanely bad on your browser/operating system.  I'm particularly interested if anyone uses non-standard OSes like Linux or Mac OS X or something, or a wonky browser like Safari or Opera.

Thanks,

-- Jough

Uh, the red highlight on Articles is virtually invisible. Of course I'm about ready to take a sledge to my monitor for other reasons . . .

Looks pretty good to me (Firebird 0.7 on a Win ME machine), except that the text on the red background is a bit hard to read.

IE 6.0 in Win2K.  Looks good to me.

Ohh that Adobe [maybe its standard, but I first encountered it on Adobe Pagemaker at YEARBOOK CAMP] autotext... site looks good though.

Oh, I just generated dummy paragraphs from here:

a long time ago.  The Lorem Ipsum faux Latin is a standard in the design business.

Might I say, a grand improvement. Two design notes, though (from the non-designing programmer) either go with fluid, total-width design or not, just go with one. The footer shouldn't span the total width unless the entire site does, and the site shouldn't be bound to a specific width unless the footer is (which would demand a footer background that blends completely)

(But then, like I said, I'm a programmer, not a designer.)

The layout looks as though you intended it to look that way. I think that's what you're really looking for.

The 404 page frightened me. I can't go to sleep now. It reminds me of my former coworker Inge cursing our boss.

Um... doesn't the entire site span the total width?

*weeps*

It should.

Sorry, no. Firefox, Win2kPro.

The colors are off due to the MS-Paint operation and Imageready optimization.


Okay, that's how it should look.

Everything that should be full browser width is.  It's tough to make those images expand. ;)

Well, damn.  The chap's quite right.  

I'm still seeing the page sort of skewed to the left; my screen res is set to 1024x768, which may be unusual.  It doesn't necessarily bother me -- but then, I may be used to it.  

Just thoughts.
