Rohdekill Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 "...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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theyarecomingforyou Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maplecookie Veteran Posted August 4, 2005 Veteran Share Posted August 4, 2005 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.

kirk26 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 (edited) 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. 586255228[/snapback] 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. Edited August 4, 2005 by kirk26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once he is done designing its more up to the coders. Although they might have to tweak some design issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camsoft Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 I am also board of the dated Neowin design. We need a fresh new look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 (edited) 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?

Porsche Design Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Neowin doesn't look so bad with Longhorn-Style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ev0| Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
