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

much better

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.

This forum needs less Darkstars

Uhhhh... come on now.

af it is nice that you have a new layout and all but these threads are a bit much.

Rettle wanted a new thread, and rettle got one

Okay I got tired of hello kitty

i just.. i just creamed my keyboard

please take picture

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).

very gut.. very close to myspace

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?
