So, who noticed it instantly without reading this thread?

All the credit goes to one of our recent additions to the staff team - KizzBG, who now leads TL.net's new graphics department <3 KizzBG

On a related note - Live2Win finally decided to join the staff a couple of days ago, since there was no news post about this, I might as well mention it here. Welcome Live2Win <3

I was making a new thread about it (but refreshed before submitting to make sure nobody else did - and you did). I don't like it right now, but I may once I get used to it. The fonts and gradients strain my eyes a little bit, so it's harder to read for me.

I thought to myself... something seems different here, but I don't know what.

And then I saw this thread and figured it out from some of the posts here. Now I can't remember exactly how it used to look to make a comparison, but it currently looks good so no complaints here.

I don't like the & thing in "Sports & Games" it looks really weird.
The color change on the button's background could be less dramatic, this way it looks like 80% blue and the 20% white if you look from further or don't focus on seeing it.

But I guess i'm just too demanding on it.

Same with me. I love the new tab fonts, but the shading looks incomplete. I guess its where the inner lining doesn't fad at all it makes it look incomplete.

Keep up the good work though. It shows a lot of promise :D

It makes it look like the sides of the boxes are missing

If there are font changes I don't see them and I'm not curious enough to change my settings, since i have my browser forcing all sites to display text as 12 pt times new roman

i may just be picky when it comes to change, but i don't like it at all.

the fading-in on the right side looks fine. but the fading-out on the left side looks horrid.

and i don't like the font.

The fade effect is really useless and it makes me think something is missing. It has no purpose, so I don't see why it should be there at all.

The font changed from a plain font to another plain font. It looks okay, but it's not really different.

Can we change the font of the thread title when browsing said thread?
the top bar News|Forum|VOD is bland, like someone else said too. But the thread title should be more cool.

Other than that, everything is mad pimp.

agreed. things should be kept simple like they were. the silver fading stuff doesn't really add anything and constantly attracts my attention as it looks misplaced. the new fonts look odd too, especially at the top of the page.

I'm thinking like how gg.net has alternate templates the user can switch from time to time. Like they have a blue one, green one, and a white one. is it possible for tl as well? that could end any criticism wholeheartedly

Because it's too long and they'd have to decrease the font size for all the titles to make it fit and look right. Or they could just call it "Featured."

Can you post a screenshot please, and what browser are you using? Thant's how I see it:

hm? maybe it's just my eyes, but what i see in my firefox is the picture you posted... the top is a bit more to the left. has it always been like that? my bad if not.

also i'm starting to realize that though the buttons look neater and centered now, the fonts are a bit too bold and too big. it's just too intense. i still like the fading though as it kind of melds my attention to the center text.

I don't like it either. I appreciate the effort but blech. There's no transition between the blue-metal gradient and the blue borders. I don't like the bold links at the top, nor the oversized Trebuchet font on the forum titles. If you want to have a change you should do something like add a smooth white-to-deep blue gradient to replace this white background.

Also if you're going to update the titles of each forum you should correct the spelling. Brood War is two words! =]

I was going to make a post like this, but since you made it first, I'm just quoting it.

The font SUCKS, search harder and get a decent font for tl.net, the buttons (Block title images) used to look better with the old style, and adding that gradient thing isn't cute nor efficient.

I think it needs to be worked a whole lot more until we get the same feeling we did for like 4 years with the old images and so on.

If anyone wants to display the old layout (with the bold text though, didn't have any time to figure out how to unbold it), I created a simple greasemonkey script to change the image urls as you load the page. + Show Spoiler +

There is certainly room for improvement, but I like it a lot and I daresay most of you will too after you get used to it.

Apart from the fading, which you can like or dislike, it's definitely a lot better now, much cleaner and more consistant.

Here's the gradient I mentioned before. Maybe add some graphical hoo-hah or something to subtly enhance the effect. I'm at work so my image software access is pretty limited. Anyway:

It's always been offset a bit. I still have a browser with the old tl open and it's like that.

Suggestions:

- Re-do the top banner. The bottom right part of it is odd, and the colors look really bland in comparison to the new graphics.

- Add new skins to the site.

Other than that, the improvements are awesome. The site looks much better now.

I didn't like the fading buttons at first, but not they're alright. What bothers me more is the bolded font though, just somehow doesn't feel right (yet). Rpf makes a good point about the banner.

Overall, nice job though. I like that it isn't a drastic change.

Personally, Trebuchet MS is an okay font for small things and makes good smileys, but I think it's not too good for titles (especially when bolded).

The fading looks funny because the lines are converging at the same time

the fonts are fine, just feels weird clicking the bars because of the fading and the <X structure making it appear insubstantial. maybe fade the leftside too so the shape would preserve more integrity. either way it is an improvement.

I dislike the gradient too, and I think more than just because it's different.

The gradient fades to white towards the borders, except the borders are blue--there's no continuity there. Also, having any kind of graphical effect draws attention. Considering that there aren't really any other effects on the web page and this particular gradient covers a huge color spectrum, this draws even more attention than you'd expect for a gradient. In this case, the whiteness on the edge sticks out, so the color difference is drawing attention to the edge of the box and away from the actual text.

I'm excited that there are such improvement projects going on, but this particular result isn't convincing me personally. It's not like it looks bad, though.

Oh. I know what it is. The things inside the borders, like "Replays", etc. aren't matching the borders in terms of the gradient, and even in direction. Horiz. vs. Vert. Or at least that's what's cathing my attention. Sorry I don't have tie to sift through the posts, but who instigated the change? Great initiative.

Very nice.

Keeps the simplicity of the old TL design while working out a few kinks in the old layout and creating a nicer, more consistent font for the tabs.

Great stuff Kizz.

The fading would be more palatable if it applied to the entire right border, even the vertical parts. As of now, its kind of out of place and lacks continuity, like Myrmidon said.

the font changes are nice, and using the space better in the forum topic preview boxes helps alot! great work!

i think the fade though takes away from it. the sharp angle of the fade and then the blue boundary coming back to meet it looks a little strange, and it draws some attention to a part of the screen that shouldn't be attention grabbing.

oh... just noticed myrmidon said it better about the gradients

I dont really liked the tabs on the left side.
It fades too pale on the right edge, makes the lines less defined than before T_T
If there's an extra dark line running on the outer peremeter of the highlighted edge it'll help to bring out the form.

But whatever, you are just another leech.


i didn\'t think i needed to repeat what 90% of people already pointed out.

[image loading]

the gradient runs into a solid line.
Gradient is supposed to represent a flow of light. this looks inconsistent with the embossed shine inside the fills. on top of that it runs into the dark blue stroke and stops abruptly.
The gradient is a Grey over Grey with no stroke and is poorly defined in contrast to the rest of the dark blue strokes on top of Grey.
Its a strain on the eyes and leaves an unpleasant incomplete feeling.

[image loading]

all the bars are cut with gradient except these top 2.
inconsistent with the flow of light.

[image loading]

This is just a ridiculous looking \"&\" character.

the shine in the center of the bars goes all the way across while the new gradient in the stroke is only at one end.
Does not make sense.
its distracting..
hard on the eyes.
visually unpleasant.

Totally correct. Listen to this guy! The gradient doesn't make any sense within the context of TL! 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.

maybe instead of having those gradients run into a solid color, how about changing that solid color into that little shine instead?

I think a lot of people are bashing as a reaction to change. Especially those without an explanation (Though a few did provide a good explanation for their dislike, Coagulation for example). I for one like that there finally *is* change and that it's not massive. Obviously not everything is going to be perfect the first time.

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.

yay someone posts like they know about design.

gj finding the inconsistencies.

while we are here...

why are the line strokes in the border on the left side and the top much larger? While youre at adding new graphics, maybe fix the banner? its so pixelated =]

I like the shine idea if what I'm imagining it to be is what useless is talking about.

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.

That's well put (besides the "anger" of having been called leech :-P).
Still, i beleive this is due to the look change not completed yet... Hope so.

I'm actually pretty neutral on this issue. I liked the old one, but hey, the new one doesn't seem that bad as well.

I was wondering why I couldn't log on to TL.net around 6-8 hours ago. I asked Pressure, but HE was able to get on

Look I really appreciate your work on this and it's good to know that there's fresh new stuff going on all the time, but my personal preference is that I don't like any of it. I liked the old fonts better, the font size was perfect and I liked a nice solid border around the categories. Now it's less defined, and it takes me just a split second more to be able to distinguish it from the background (it's funny how our perception works.) In all honesty, it bothers me more than I could've predicted. But please don't be offended KizzBG, I'm a big fan of yours.

TL had some ISP/routing issues I think. A lot of people couldn't connect.

Looks like a lot of people are disliking the gradient and the "&" so I've made a sample without the gradient and fixed the "&".

You just need to stick with one way and go with it. Make everything consistent whether you choose the gradient or not.

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.

I don't think it's the gradient itself, just that it looks awkward having the lighter part of the gradient right up against the dark blue (in the top circle in this pic). I like how it looks at the bottom where it transitions back (bottom circle).

Yeah, change is good, the concept of the gradient is nice, just it seems the transition back to the darker colours is too sudden/can't notice it.

Don't go back to the original due to a few nay-sayers.

That screenshot is better Kizz, but I still don't like that font. Surely there's another font that would flow better with the site. You need something that looks good as a header, is easy to read, and doesn't look overpowering. Here's something I threw together real quick, I'm sure you can find a better font:

Oh and personally, I really, really hate sans-serif fonts as headers.

I agree with Cpt Obvious...but also thats why they make these kinds of topics that way he hears what we want or think is wrong btw i think the fading should come from the outside to the inside O_o
And I find it kind of funny, I find it kind of sad, The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had.

besides the facts that i took the time to point out. What makes it "terrible" is the point that you took a perfectly fine layout and destroyed it.
and good job getting the boxes to match in size and design but cmon.. They should match in the first place obviously.

Still waiting on your definition of leech.
