Does not make sense. its distracting.. hard on the eyes. visually unpleasant. define leech | ||

It's just tacked on for no good reason. Doesn't seem like anyone has noticed the font change for the top bar yet, but I do think that was a good choice. | ||

I like the idea of employing a subtle yet noticeable gradients on the side buttons, but it needs to be consistent with the rest of the site. Also the gradients itself could do with a little work, but the idea is sound. The new font and its consistency (the old lack of consistency always annoyed me a tiny bit) is good, though the font in the top bar.. needs help  .Keep up the nice work and don't be disheartened by some of the negative feedback  EDIT: Oh and making the side buttons have a gradient doesn't drastically change tl.net so that all of a sudden it's lost it's minimalist style. And excalibur_z's idea has a lot of potential, it can look cool (I'd use a lighter shade of blue myself though), is easy enough to do, acts as a visual notifier of how much longer you have to scroll down (without looking at scroll bar) and emphasises the 'panels' of the page. You could add some kind of graphic to it but you'd have to be smart in how you did it if you wanted to keep the minimalist style. | ||

While youre at adding new graphics, maybe fix the banner? its so pixelated =] | ||

I can't get over the gradient, it keeps distracting me away from the post. Like some have mentioned, it looks like the bar is incomplete (maybe because we're too used to the old style ), so as I'm reading posts even though I KNOW the bars have been changed I keep glancing back at it to see if there's something wrong with the img file or site display or whatever. I don't really mind the font changes and all that though. | ||

Noticed now too. Page 5 of this topic, because of Carnac's poll the right side goes wrong and the left side looks even more terrible because... see for yourself. Used resolution : 1024x768 EDIT : it was Testies poll, Carnac just quoted it | ||

To be honest though I find it fucking with my eyes sometimes as it somehow blurs with the ending of the text, can't really explain it but it happens. | ||
