Regarding the Code::Blocks homepage design contest

[Profic]

don't the words look a bit blurry on the webpage?

You say exactly what I thought
And text from logo at SF looks well and sharp

The vote is on the right part of the website. I think (Note: I'm NOT sure) you might have to register to vote.

Anyway here's the patched logo for the webpage:

OK, the webpage is using the sharper-text version now

That is better, thanks

Hey, Chris! I incorporated your 3D logo into the Code::Blocks exe! I also gave you credit on the "about" dialog ;-)

if time wasn't such an issue i would suggest looking at a new portal system, drupal ( http://www.drupal.org/ ), to be precise. it's a lot cleaner, more customizable (sp?) and doesn't make every site look the same (if you use a good theme), like most *Nuke's do.

I agree with that, I was thinking that the current design is good, but I don't like the sharp borders of all items,
I like a lot the rounded borders of that drupal page, it's like the firefox page. Very good.

Some demos of some CMS that can serve as inspiration:

I'd suggest creating a a CMS rather than using another one, this will also come to show developers that you mean business, and that you are trying to be more professional.

[rickg22]

Do you realize how much time it has to be INVESTED in creating a CMS from scratch? We need a usable webpage, and we need it fast.

Ich you really consider to switch to another (more professional) cms system, i would really suggest mambo.
i really like the current design, but maybe i can try to do some css modifications. after i registered at the forums

here i am,
i think with just a few adjustments the design really looks nice and professional. look at this:
http://files.xardias.net/images/codeblocks.jpg
the current template is not very css customizeable, so i needed to replace some bgcolors in the html code. but this is just an suggestion it just needs some replacements. i used the colors from the logo image.

PS: it is hard to create non sharp borders, without wasting the whole template with tables for layouting tons of images. mozilla has some css extensions, so it can display rounded borders, but with any other browser the edges still look sharp. (take the Intenret Explorer and look at the firefox page)

hey I appreciate the effort, but like more the current desing than that
about the rounded borders on IE, just look at drupal.org using IE

  I'm about to make a design using this techniques if you're still intrested in a new design I might have one in two/three weeks (on the conditions I can use the layout on my own personal page, with different colors)...Know it's a little late, but still...
