I take it you have dropped all IE6 support for this theme ?

Next to no images load. Not even barely usable in IE6.

Unfortuntly, at work, I have no choice but to use IE6 - We have no privledges what so ever in updating to a newer browser.

There has to be a stage where the web moves on, and Neowin is probably one of the most modern websites out there. It's like a game developer making games for a PS1. They have PS3's now. People still use PS1's somewhere out there but there haven't been new games out for ages, apart from small, die-hard fans making them.

Neowins like a big game developer. :0 Only work with current technology.

I appreciate that - Unfortuntly, i'm forced to use the PS1 ;)

There was talk of updating to a later browser, but haven't heard anything for awhile.

Things I do not like about it:

It does not show your avatar for now beside your user name.**

The colour selection is collected in a horrid combobox, please use the same Red, Green and Blue balls from before.*

Can we have a drop shadow off the Middle content? It is a little too hard to see the content when it blends in with the background.

The background is too light.

Can the main buttons up top (News, files, ETC) curve into the content?*

Can the Ad have a round edge at the top right of it? It would look nicer with the round edge of the footer.*

*Picture included of a rough concept

**The blue box next to the name is where the Users Pic would be.

Sweet :) On the Pro Version Now :D Can't wait for the final. But Yeah, I agree with Jan's Idea. Have the 3 Circle at top for the theme instead of the drop-down/up box at the bottom of the site.

Good point, I think it wouldn't hurt if it was placed right next to the search button.

I'm not really a fan of it, it's less space efficient :/

How so?

Additional dislikes:

  1. When hovering over Community, the box under it shows instantly, whilst the Community button fades to white, can you make both fade or both show instantly? Both fade would look much nicer though.
  2. I do not like that the Ad is in the footer, it looks out of place, I much prefer it where it used to be.
  3. I do not like the Pro's redness sick.gif Although Darkside will be for Atlas 2 so that is no problem yes.gif
  4. The background is FAR TOO light (I know this was in the previous list but this is a BIG deal.

That's all for now!

I disagree, I think it's better at the top as it makes use of the empty space up top. And it frees up the space in the forum and makes it cleaner. I find it a better layout than the previous one.

I've never been a fan of the circle icons, maybe just having a paint bucket or something would be better? ;)

Also @ whoever said they should get a sub for the FP, we don't have the new FP design either :p

Well, we got to see it, but not use it sadly. Blame Neobond. :devil:

      Dude, it's a .reg away from a permanent modification. Look it up and keep it. The default is what's the best UX for the majority of the userbase, non techie people.

      Logitech MX Creative Console is down to the lowest price by Taras Buria Having a Stream Deck-like device next to your keyboard could be a massive productivity boost. It lets you map specific actions and shortcuts to speed things up, and Logitech has such a device for you with a big 20% discount. Right now, you can save $40 on the Logitech MX Creative Console. The MX Creative Console is an unconventional accessory that consists of two modules. One module has nine customizable buttons, with each having a built-in display for mapping. You can assign apps, shortcuts, actions, or something else. There are nine buttons, plus two more for switching between "pages" of actions. The second module has no displays. Instead, there is a big twisting knob and a small roller for precise adjustments in creative apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity, and more. There are four additional buttons as well. The MX Creative Console is available in two colors: Graphite and Pale Gray. Both are now 20% off, saving you $40. Just keep in mind that the MX Creative Console requires the Logitech Options+ app, which is only available on Windows and macOS. By the way, each unit comes with three months of Adobe Creative Cloud.

      Because someone else reported theirs was unusable, genius. But being a Linux user you should be used to that. Next time you think you have a "gotcha", check first.
    • Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

      Studio MDHR reveals Cuphead sequel and an 8-bit platformer spin-off by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Studio MDHR has been rather silent about its next major gaming project since the release of Cuphead back in 2017. However, that ended today during the Summer Game Fest presentation, with the studio revealing not one but two project announcements. First, the studio confirmed that it is currently in the middle of developing a brand-new Cuphead game, bringing back the iconic characters for another adventure. Just like the last game, this is slated to be a fully hand-animated endeavor. This also means there isn't a release date attached to it yet. “Craftsmanship is at the heart of everything we do here at Studio MDHR,” says co-founder Chad Moldenhauer. “When it came time to peel back the curtain and share a little bit about what we’ve been up to, we couldn’t imagine a more fun way to do so than with today’s Special Bulletin. The studio is working on this new Cuphead with help from Toronto’s Stop Motion Department and Continue Agency. At the same time, Studio MDHR also revealed that another part of the team has been working on a different Cuphead installment. Dubbed the Mighty Cuphead Adventure, this is taking a different art direction to the original. "In true Studio MDHR fashion, this game goes beyond just taking inspiration from the classics of the 1980s… it is actually built with technology of the era," the studio explained. "That's right: Mighty Cuphead Adventure is programmed in assembly language and designed with the exacting specifications of the Sega Master System home gaming console in mind." Aside from releasing on PC and modern consoles, Mighty Cuphead Adventure will even be playable on the 1985-released Sega Master System. A release date has not been announced just yet.
    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook

      Any decent ITSM will A) have a web form that allows a user to raise a ticket, if you're writing an email you can write a ticket. B) Monitor a mailbox and auto-generate tickets based on inbound mails for those users that really can't get their heads around the concept that if you have an issue you go to support.mycompany.com and fill in the box. From your description you're having users email the desk, and then having a human read each one and manually raise a ticket on behalf of the user.
