dead.cell Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 BLACK LOOKS BITCHIN! Okay, I have to say, I'm really excited about this now. No more worrying over the colors that were presented to us originally. Having choices (and great ones at that) is simply wonderful. (Y) May I ask what browser was used for capturing those screenshots, Neobond? I ask because the corners shown in them don't look all too great compared to other screenshots.

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted November 10, 2009 Veteran Share Posted November 10, 2009 Chrome, it can't handle anti-aliasing. Edit: So it's on par with Firefox 2 in that regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Veteran Posted November 10, 2009 Veteran Share Posted November 10, 2009 Google has a fix in the pipeline, if you're using the dev channel builds you'll have anti-aliasing on the corners. Looks quite good, actually. Feels nicer than most other browsers with the rounding... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carmatic Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 huh wha.... i dont even notice the corners were rounded/sharp ... maybe when the new style gets rolled out i'd notice it more and yeah, i dont have firefox because its massively slow on my netbook for some reason, i cant even scroll the page without having long pauses... being able to tweak the colours and having it saved as a cookie sounds like a better idea...

Denis W. Veteran Posted November 10, 2009 Veteran Share Posted November 10, 2009 Shadowed text is still buggered up for Chrome in Windows, but at least they fixed the border anti-aliasing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterC Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 Thats why there are choices for other colors ;) I know. This thread was for opinions, and I gave mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PNWDweller Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 The black is nice and probably too dark for some, but glad there are choices. Just think though, you know they say that if you run a black and white web site, in effect you are forcing pixels to turn off, in theory saving energy... Get all the black lovers and you will have a mass energy savings at last while on the Neowin front page. :) Back to reality - the redesign is looking great and no matter how long it takes for the team to do this, I will patiently wait for it and be happy for the high quality of work that the dev team does.

Of course, that only applies to CRT's, LCD's can't turn the backlight on and off for certain pixels (It'll be nice when we have screens capable of that though, showing an HDR image natively without tone mapping) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+chorpeac MVC Posted November 12, 2009 MVC Share Posted November 12, 2009 I can't stand websites that are designed to be all black with white letters. Whenever I look away the screen is still embedded in my eyes... To each their own though, it does look really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does the red denote? That I'm not sure actually you may need to ask Timan (our designer) but I think it's cause the news item is "Hot" so it has been viewed a number of times etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
