Darkstars V9 Hello Kitty Redux

[AF]

Someone called ruttle suggested I put hello kitty as the next background. This ground breaking insight has lead to the best darkstars design ever!!

You didn't need to make another topic to post this. I am mad.

Looks better, certainly, although I wouldn't have used the same color choices. Suggestion: use a much more muted background for the center, and stronger graphical content on the sides, instead of the other way 'round. The current design is a bit overwhelming, in terms of bright shades, imo, and needs stronger focus on the sections we're supposed to read, which get a bit lost in the bright / bright. I'll make a mockup if I get bored after I get done with a really dull optimization I'm writing atm.

Much better color treatment. It's a lot less like trying to read text splashed on a tub of multi-colored icecream now.

Its getting better... But I dont like the plain white boxes behind the text (while the white/black gives a supreme contrast ofc).

[rattle]

very gut.. very close to myspace

[ChaosMonkey]

you has a half visible picture for a background

why not try getting a proper background which works with the boxes and stuff in front and doesn't look ugly, some nice blue would be good

That was my desktop BG for a while!
But why the cruddy JPG compression?
Maybe use this one?
