If the test site is what you mean, it's looking better (the textured background).

Oh what the fuck do i know?? Rolling Eyes

(but I do dream in colour! Wink

Yep - it's the test site I'm changing. The other one will live only in infamy after I'm done with this test site and replace the current "live" one with the test site.

To be clear, this is the test site:

Good lord, that is awesome Scott!
In the CSS, try in the paragraph style this:
p {
line-height: 18px;
text-align: justify;
}

Justified text looks better when you have large blocks, IMO.

Cheers,
Woody

Edit, tested it with the Firefox Firebug plugin, see picture.

OK, I'm back to where I thought I was a month or so ago.

All of the TH pages should be readable now.

Well, thank you, Bill!

I poured on the steam the last few weeks just to get the thing up. I couldn't bear to look at the mess my last attempt had made any longer....

Cheerio,
Scott

Yes its pretty nice.

A thing that I don't like (personal taste) is the rounded blue rectangles. Reminds me the "add to basket" of some internet stores. And Doesn't match with the rest of the elegant design.
I would stay in the grey scale and not rounded figures.

I just noticed the new site as well since I'm starting to get back to working on my projects again. I have a bare SN-voice PCB that needs to be worked on. Smile
