Regarding the Code::Blocks homepage design contest
per_eckerdal:
Now I've done the main work on the design, it's just the details left. (But that uses to take the most time, though. :wink:)
I've put it up on http://www.shell.linux.se/edev/design/codeblocks0/. Things to note:
1. I haven't optimized the images yet, so the final result will be smaller (and my webhosting is awfully slow)
2. As of now, it does only work on Firefox. That's the next thing to do..
3. It's quite boring colors. I might change that. (Any suggestions?)
4. The navigation: As this page doesn't have good navigation, I redesigned it. Take a look at the menu and see if you think the new structure is ok.
5. The design is currently designed for 1024x768; i will probably add a JavaScript so you can switch between floating and fixed layout. (A la http://www.simplebits.com/)
6. For some reason, the rounded corners aren't 100% symmetric, I'll see what I can do about it.
7. I know the class and id names aren't 100% semantically properly chosen, but in reality that doesn't matter; the content will not have these flaws and the search engines doesn't care.
As you can see, the design isn't ready yet, but if you think the entire thing is just from beginning to end bad, I think I have another idea for a different design.

Design-wise I like it a lot :D
But I think I 'd like it better with a different (more vivid perhaps) color scheme. Especially the top part with the logo looks very dark to me...
Don't get me wrong. I like the dark appearence, I just feel that the logo should stand-out more...
Anyway, Rick is the "artistic eye" here so let's hear his view on this :)
Great work Per!

per_eckerdal:
Well, the logo was just a careless move from me. :oops:
I just took gimp's color to alpha and didn't care to exclude the logo..
I've put up the new logo at http://www.shell.linux.se/edev/design/codeblocks1/.
Or do you think the entire thing should get brighter?

mandrav:
Ahh, this is better :)
Personally, I 'd like brighter colors but it's not just my call ;)
Let's wait Rick's response for more.
Thanks,
Yiannis.
David Perfors:
I like the second one (logo I mean), but I don't like the black background, in my opinion it should be lighter. ofcourse there should be a difference between the background and the blocks..
