New Theme Preview

[after fallout]

I think it is a great idea for neowin to move to xhtml strict/css compliance. A community could even be built up around customizing neowin, via different css scripts loaded from the alternate css menu on firefox and other browsers that have it!

Looks sexual. (Y) :)

Looks awesome as hell (Y)

sweet but as said before the neowin logo could do with a spice up

Will it be 100% vertical width when it's all done, I have a lot of extra space in the right side that could be utilized.

[after fallout]

yeah it'd be nice if it was 100% wide

seems to load way faster than main page

Holy @#*$ nice work! :o

if you mean the 'version' that toxikk is letting us preview...

that's because it's a screen cap of the page. (i.e. just a picture in gif)

I'm pretty sure he's talking about <snip>, not the picture.

I don't think they want people to post the link, good for us who know it but it seems that they don't want it in the general usergroup.

Why aren't we allowed to post a link to the development page? I didn't see it posted anywhere that we could not. Instead of just removing it without a word perhaps you could say something so it doesn't get posted again, unless you want to keep chasing after everyone that posts a link to your secret page.

I can't say that I like the dark top design, it just doesn't look like it belongs with the rest of the page.

Also I think the neowin logo would really need updating for this.. it looks bad when next to the 'glossy' top. Maybe it can blend in better, while being a little smaller and smoother.

Props to you guys (long, toxikk & redmak) for taking all this time to work on the new design, hope it gets finished soon :)

Toxic said this on his site:

Also, yesterday was a big day for me over at Neowin. I posted my New Theme Preview Thread. So far, the response has been pretty positive. I only showed the gif of the theme because I did not want to kill the development server with all kinds of hits. Maybe I can get a beta program going and we can have a few lucky Neowinians help beta test the new ****. That would be cool!!1!

Anywhoo?

maybe that is the reason he didn't post the link

Do not post the link. There someone from staff has said it.

It's a pretty safe assumption that since a Mod/Admin HASN'T posted a link, it's not for actual public viewing. It's just common courtesy. If Toxikk wanted people looking at the real deal, he would have posted it right on the front page. As it stands right now, viewing the link will give you no more insight than what the preview picture does. The link to the dev site wasn't even supposed to be "in the wild".

So please be patient while the new design is being worked on. When those involved feel it's sufficient enough for people to use, it will be announced.

Nobody but staff were supposed to know about it in the first place.

But I'll make another general annoucement: Do not post links to the beta design. Anywhere.

That looks awesome, Great work on it!

[Yuxi]

Looks good! Hope to see it up soon! :D :D
