Ha Ha, I don't want to be a spoil sport and win the prize, your members might think it was a fix ;)

Normally I hate the over-use of the blue. I quite like this though. Althought the what's going on area icons are custom (good thing) I think you can acquire better, visually better looking icons.

The register badge, It looks terrible. Add a yellow seal badge or something. I've subitted some seals (psd included) that would look nice and bring out the prominent blue (I'd suggest using a yellow seal) they can easily be adapted/modified for the register badge. Seal/badges can be found here.

Overall, nice job.

I don't think it'd look like a fix. Give it a try. We want posts :D

Thank you for your tips, Shelley. I really appreciate them.

The WGO area icons certainly need to be re-done. I kinda just threw them there so it'd be something other than default.
Although these aren't blue, what do you think of using them: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php...?content=54896 -- or these: http://kde-look.org/content/show.php...content=104647 ?

And wow - I actually really liked the register badge. I thought it was very nicely-colored and well-suited. But since you're such a wonderful designer and I am a huge fan of your work, I will take your advice on this one. :D
I will definitely try out the yellow seal.

Thanks again.

Those icons look a little better (quality wise) they look great and they do look better than what you have but they don't look consistent with the rest of the graphics or the theme (a little cartoony) but they do look better than what you have already.

I would apply them and still hunt around for suitable icons. Think of them as make do for the time being until something visually more appealing comes along.
