He is not a coder..

No, but he has MUCH inspiration behind the graphics design, as does WishX.

And you guys want to see screenshots so bad... Even staff don't get to see pictures/screenshots. It's all very confidential. :)

"...And now that I've read that, I completely understand why Neowin hasn't released screenshots, or for that matter, anything regarding the new design ... when the first screenshot was release, another website and if you were here when it was released, you'll know who I'm talking about, redesigned their site to look very similar to it. Giving any information out would allow other sites to steal our ideas, and we don't want that."

I'm new to this site, so please don't slam me too hard.

Can someone explain the logic of keeping it confidential when the day it finally becomes public anyone can just create a site that looks similar to it? You're not preventing anyone from stealing your design - you're just delaying it. I've designed and programmed several sites and chuckle at the mentality of my clients wishing to hide a design until completion.

The only exception I can possibly understand is if you were marketing a new product or service unique to the web - you wouldn't want others to dominate a new marketing area before you got your site done. But Neowin isn't a unique product or service.

I'd not seen the old layout preview before... I'm very impressed. It if looked that good then, I'm really hopeful that it will be amazing when it is released.

You signed up just to say that?

Everyone can simply just wait until the completed images and coding are done. It *will* be released then. :p

People steal images all the time from Neowin sadly. We don't want to let them use this before we get a chance to.

Are you guys planning on revealing that new layout Toxikk was working on since we are going to have the new of Longhorn coming soon?

That would be tight as all hell...and by the way, I'm in no way trying to nag you guys for the new skin, I was just thinking about Neowin and Vista when I heard the announcement.

I wish I could pick a theme (like Midnight Blue) that Neowin used to have. I miss that feature. Also, add a bigger search link on the front page.

Did i say he didnt? But he can design his heart out all he wants. Once he is done designing its more up to the coders. Although they might have to tweak some design issues.

Midnight is still there? If you scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, it's on the bottom left. ;)

So what happened to Long's design? Because from what I know, Neowin liked it and decided in some or another way to use it. What's the deal? And apparently they did, as the Neowin RSS thingy on the frontpage is exact copy from Long's design. How is FlishFun is related to all this and taking all the credit?

People don't take credit for things they don't do. So...take that how you want, otherwise..the rest of the info is super-duper secret.

The design right now is nice, comfortable, but a little bit too chunky compared to some of the xhtml/css tableless designs out there now.

With IE 7 Beta 2 looming, improved CSS support is coming to IE and thus to the massive numbers of windows xp users out there.

We should be developing a thinner, more sophisticated design that takes advantage of this, reflects windows vista and some of the nicer websites out there with their thin, usable, look.

The 2004 neowin redesign was a step in the right direction, but I believe neowin's next look (v 4) will be even further along.

Neowin doesn't look so bad with Longhorn-Style.

lol Are you talking about how it looks when you have an LH theme on your PC? Or you talking about the Midnight color scheme? :laugh:

Just because his badge says Grafix doesn't mean that he isn't helping with the coding too. ;)

This isnt irc :rofl:  ;)

No, it's not. But that doesn't mean I don't know about other staffers and their tasks on the forums.

Much more goes on behind the scenes than the average user realizes, that's for sure.

That will be fixed when we upgrade to Neowin4. Usability is going to be number 1. ;)
