Steven P. Administrators Posted August 9, 2011 Administrators Share Posted August 9, 2011 Some people found the items too cramped, so we tweaked it, I think we nailed it now! Added padding and tweaked the headline and byline. Be sure to CTRL+F5 to ensure you're not loading a cached CSS file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dysphoria Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Was there an actual reason for changing the main page? The old design was clear, concise and it looked good as much on desktops as on mobile devices. New design is full with useless images which make the whole interface cluttered, confusing, and plain ugly. Don't meant to offend anyone, but I find myself avoiding Neowin... and I've been a long time follower/reader... Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auroka Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Awesome, I find it easier to read already! :) Was there an actual reason for changing the main page?

I liked it when articles just had an icon next to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahmz Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I think there needs to be more contrast between the main content, sidebar and background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's the first thing that hits you, when you load the main page. I dont even want to load it at work, since it looks like I am on a gaming website. Another remark is for the news articles. I know that the authors should get some credit for the job they are doing but the "About The Author" box is getting annoying... A link to a site with more info about the author would be a better solution. It feels like somebody got a high-school project "Design a website" and here we are trouble shooting and tweaking .... Here is a hint: Try using "simplicity" as a guide to a good web design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timan Veteran Posted August 17, 2011 Veteran Share Posted August 17, 2011 Another update, main page should be faster to load images. Seemed we didn't have image compression on for news logos / promos. So we're talking about 300-500kb savings (newb on our part) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpus Veteran Posted August 17, 2011 Veteran Share Posted August 17, 2011 Might want to tone down just a bit on the compression (if possible now) as there are fairly noticeable artifacts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sranshaft Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 The front page is looking great but the text in the header is looking horrible. I only just noticed it but I'm almost positive it didn't look this bad before. Viewed on Chrome 15.0.854.0 dev-m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only just noticed it but I'm almost positive it didn't look this bad before. Viewed on Chrome 15.0.854.0 dev-m. Was probably an update within Chrome, or just the font itself having rendering issues on your OS. I know for a fact that a few are best on OS X.
