Default New design...looking for some feedback :)

Hello fellow .org'ers! I have a new design I'm looking for some feedback on. The link is for the fixed version, there is also a fluid one.

Thanks in advance!

Wow, now that's a nice skin. Very fluid, colours really go well together. I don't like the collapse buttons they look too blocky for the design. Also it looks like you didn't replace some of the status icons, so that looks out of place too. But beyond that it looks great.

Nice suggestion. I thought it looked a bit odd in regards to the collapse button looking blocky. I think the curved cat header made things worse because of the curved shape.

Thanks for the suggestion fewyn.

hmm, you need something to catch more eye... Its smooth alright, but you can make smooth look better..

Dont get me wrong its not bad, just not one of your best... Your navigation can very much be improved.. its simple, but you can make that better.

Good work on it however.

I absolutely LOVE the skin! The colors are perfect together

The only thing I noticed was that you have the Register Link on the top navbar, bottom navbar and the welcome block. Maybe, cut back on those?

Other than that, excellent job!!

very nice smacklan

Although when you collapse a category, the top and bottom images don't marry up correctly and so look rather odd. The colored bit on the inside of the images is wider on the bottom image than the top one.

I'm almost positive this is down to the way the image was sliced/cut. the forumtitle_left/right.gif is 63px whilst the /forumfoot_left/right.gif is 26px. Also, another factor is that the distance between the blue and the edge of the grey is slightly larger than the footer.

It could be easy to rectify. I was going to mention it to smacklan but didn't regard it as an issue.
