I like the new style. :D

I sort of like the gray, but now it seems like too many sites are gray.
Looking forward to it. Looks cool!

its a fantastic improvment !!! good stuff i say

Clean sharp and professional looking!

yes, looks a lot more professional now, plus I like the fact that each tute download page can now display *all* of the parts.

great work

fifteen thumbs up David!...:)

it looks great!

I definatly like the colors more!

when is it going into effect??

Don't like it, honestly.

For one thing, text, especially small black text is harder to read from transmissive color (meaning a screen) than white. Also, It looks just like everything else out there. Very run-of-the-mill, crank em out stuff you have to shovel out with a scoop in the bulk foods section.

I like the character of the current SLW. I like the bad @$$ wasp. I like the colors, even more than simplymaya. It could be inproved, sure, but is the full makeover really necessarry?

So, while I won't be going away because of it, I am dissapointed. I of all people know that stuff is hard work, but we cant all be polite and pretend to like it just for that sake... or can we?

Your right on one thing your intitled to your opinion :P It might be a little run of the mill, but its sure is a lot cleaner looking and sharper to. Looks very professional.

The current SL site is kinda muddy in colors and the layout isnt all that great this site upgrade is diffinatly a step in the right direction. You tend to loose pictures and text against a dark backround, when everything has so much dark color it kinda blends the images and text into the page and doesnt draw your eye to the pictures or text. The subtle addition of colors (Boarder/buttons ect...)on a white backround draws your eyes to the pictures and text. On the new site the text and pics pop off the page. Looks really good.

hey mate, np...you have your views and will be respected for them.

I personally like the new look and is much easier to use. But each to there own :)

Nice one David. Really looking forward to this one coming online.

new look is looking good
nice one

I have seen better but I cant remember the name……… hmmm oh yeah simplymaya, I hear they got a totally awesome thing going on over there, they even have a dragon, but I would prefer a somking monkey.

Dae

too bright...
 

[IMHO] it looks more professional, but the color scheme is to bright for my taste. I like the colors just the way they are now...

personally I think it is smart and professional and from what I can see looks easier to navigate, my one concern is it may look to smart and professional and this may scare away future noobies, but don't fear there is a remedy for this, all you goto do is have a smoking monkey with a phat cigar.

Dae

The question is now, when will this new version be going live?

New version will go live sometime this weekend.

David :)

and the smoking monkey, how about him.

Looks clean and attractive. Appeals to my minimalist nature :)

White sites are a little tiring on the eye if you spent a lot of time on 'em though :/

(Long time no see btw... Hi all)

Dae, he's been locked in Philips' basement to keep 3dchip company.

dam, do we have any other smoking animals we can use that aren't in Philips basement.

Dae

Well, there's a cow I barbecued earlier this summer. I think that's still smoking out back somewhere :D

That'll do till we liberate the monkey. I still like the wasp.

free the monkey……………… free the monkey……………… free the monkey……………… free the monkey……………… free the monkey……………… free the monkey, we can do it if we can do it if united we stand.
