Im not too fond of it.

Just seems wierdly out of size, everything looks larger which seems to put me off.

I liked the last design 100x better than this one.

But I guess we will have to put up with it.

Any chance of being able to use the old theme? Like putting one version of the old theme back? Like "Blue" or "Black"?

Thanks

You can easily tweak it, are you using Firefox and do you have Stylish installed? If you're talking about the container size, just create a new style, add this in it:

@namespace url(http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml);

@-moz-document domain("neowin.net") {

#container{width:94%!important;}

}

neowin already make billion dollar sell windows, is that enough for you greedy pigs? i dont wan microsof visula studio 2010 program downloa to my computer each time i post for this site, damn?.!!

*cough*! Excuse me! Did you just type that?

In Chrome, at least, 6.0.442.0 dev, I'm getting this when scrubbing my cursor fairly quickly over the drop-down items, its very noticeable when you do it on the homepage.

I presume this is due to sprites? ;P

Kinda odd.

Clear your cache

Glad I am not the only one who finds it less efficient.

It doesn't matter how long one has been here. Everybody's opinion should be held with the same value.

Agreed. I wasn't talking about his opinion or mine (or how long I have been here). I was talking about his comment saying I was whining. I guess "whining" is when you don't have the same opinions now. Heaven forbid we say anything negative. Where was he when I was praising the new launch of the site back in December? Where was he when I was supporting the Neowin staff throughout all the troubles they experienced trying to implement the new forums?

Say one negative thing, and then BAM. Sad.

^ Hmm ... ^

Not sure I follow. You were much nicer to me and Bob Stein at the MVP Summit back in the day. Now you is just a "hmm" monger tongue.gif

Well Brian, we put a heatmap on Neowin a few times since the launch in January and discovered that the header wasn't doing what we intended it for. Most links weren't being clicked there, so we've resolved that by consolidating some of them.

Thats really all thats changed, the header and footer.. a refinement of coloring coupled with the fact that ads don't break the flow of the page anymore seems to be in most peoples eyes an improvement.

Not everyone will like change, but if the majority do, then we've done a really good job here :)

Running same build here and I can't reproduce (on Mac).

I can respect all that (I hear plenty of feedback on our ActiveWin site...mostly negative ;)). I was just offering up my opinion. Nothing more, nothing less. Won't stop me from coming here. I know that you like to hear ALL feedback.

Yep thats right Brian :)

Remember that for a few years we had four huge ass tabs on our main page and forums, and people still didn't know we had a software and gamer news section.

The header has been a constant struggle to get "right" and this update is a part of that process really.

    • take your console only release and shove it. i sold my ps5 as my pc wipes the floor with it, at the point of sale i didn't envisage being ignored by one of the biggest and wealthiest developers ever because they simply can't be bothered to support a loyal user base. as i only played the single player versions, i'll be obtaining this "free" when it eventually reaches PC as an afterthought to pay for their christmas party drinks in 2029. screw me, screw you cockstar
    • Apart from Early Hiccups on Windows 11 on first install on October 6th 2021 on my old Intel 10700 daily use Desktop PC at the time, used to have issue with Bluetooth suddenly no longer working and only fix back then was always another clean install--then would work for a while. Transition to 2024 when i decided to finally upgrade that system for better support for Battlefield 2042 and Battlefield 6 later on, opted for next daily use Gaming Desktop AMD Ryzen 7 7700X and Radeon 7800XT OC 16GB. No major problems at all with this desktop, OS was clean installed way back on 10/8/2025 not long after 25H2 released. Overall i've been happy with Windows 11 Pro from the start, even minor little quirks didn't sway me. Heck i even use Windows 8 and upgraded immediately upon release back then on my old HP P6-2133W Desktop, and while the specs of that machine didn't give me top notch performance--i still was able to do what i wanted to, without too many slowdowns. Windows ME i didn't use on any of my personal systems back in the day, kept those systems on 98SE til XP released, and grabbed that immediately on release date. Kept XP til Vista Released then upgraded immediately, kept Vista til Windows 7 released, then updated immediately again
    • Broadcom: dreadful company who is destroying VMware by pricing it out of the market.
    • To be fair, it wasn't going anywhere. Even when Windows Phone could run Android APKs, Google didn't want any of it so it'd never work and the same thing happened with Windows. It was never about the store or it's users, it was always the developers and who they aligned to.
