yea, just trying to think how. Needs to be so small, and with few pixels to play with its hard. Because the background is light orange, the white text needs a black border. So rather than being 1 solid colour, its 1 smaller solid colour with a thin black edge around. The bigger the edge, the more fuzzy it becomes.
Hmmm, let me see what i can do
Im using paint shop pro, the problem is the size - pixel wise.
Ok ive made the black border around the text stronger, changed the font and removed some of the button shading.
Press CTRL+F5 to refresh. Very subtle difference, and you might not be able to tell without having one of the old buttons available side-by-side.
Takes me ages each time lol
I don't mind the colours, tho they do clash with the lilac/purple/mauve wallpaper (yee gods don't go changing that!!)it's the text that sucks! Maybe if it wasn't italicised it would be easier to read
May I have the next dance ?
Will you lead or shall I ???
I like the new buttons - they're funky
You just need a flourescent pink leopardskin background now and it'll be perfect
It's been suggested at work (By a graphics designer) that I overhaul the whole site and make it the same style as the new t-shirt logo I designed.
Eeeek
Oh lordy!
I have one night away and look what happens!!!
I didn't have a drink last night (driving) so I knew the orange colour wasn't 'cos of that!
Well, let me know before you go changing stuff again please Matt and NO pink colours!!
new buttons are great,but i like the logo we already have...and just going abit off thread....couldnt the tshirts just say bikermatch.co.uk in the old style logo?? no small writing? just an idea. i like things simple.
I have to agree with you Matt. the buttons are a little hard to read. maybe if the font colour was black?? You can't please all of the people all of the time tho.
May I also sujest changeing the resolution of the site fron 800x600 to 1024x768?? how many people still have low res screens these days??
buttons changed so they fade in and out. Also changed thumbnails in forum posts so they have the same hover effect. Looks better.
Ill try the black look PP, maybe with a white border for style. Trying not to make the buttons too harsh though.
Re the old style header - i really dont like it. It looks like 1999 and not 2008. The new one i created last night is far better and much more modern.
Re the resolutions PP... 10.48% still use 800x600! Unbelievable i know.
