New look for CodeProject [modified]
-
We're at the point where the bulk of new code is outweighing the old code and so all back-end caching, pre-calculating and general maintainance is now all .NET. Plus, we've finally made it to the 20th century and stopped assuming 800x600 is the minimum standard. The site will work with sub 1024 x 768 but we just got sick of being so cramped. In doing so I took the opportunity to complete a redesign started about 4 years ago in order to have a consistent look and feel across the site. HTML purists will be happy to see more of the internals are now XHTML, and much of the formatting moved to CSS. Did I mention the 20th century. Yeah, I know... Comments always welcome, most especially when they involve bugs. Edit: Credit where credit's due: I should have mentioned that all praise (and the odd complaint) should go to William Kim, our AdOps manager for the design specifics. cheers, Chris Maunder

Hello, I like the new design. It looks like 21st Century. :-D Greets Anakin ------------------------- May The Force Be With You

I think i like the new look, but i seem to be stuk in the menu. i was at c/c++ and then went to c#, but in the sections menu only the top two seems to be c#, the rest is stil c++. after clicking c++ in the top menu, the sections menu still shows the wrong items. e.g. the top two c#. after clicking asp.net, the sections menu on the left : top two c#, rest C++ whats the point o a sections menu, if the sections dont change ? My second computer is your linux box.
This is tomorrow's task: clean up and expand the categories. You'll notice there's no ASP.NET and VB.NET at all. We'll fix this and make the single-sized-menu-fits-all a little more comfortable. cheers, Chris Maunder

I've emailed a screenshot where the design doesn't quiet fit on my Firefox browser. Not too keen on the font used, looks a bit crap when all the word is capitalized. Also, the green and orange don't seem to work well together but I may get used to it. Like the grey though. Other than that I like what I see (and as a HTML purist, I like the direction you are going) Michael CP Blog [^] Development Blog [^]

It will take some getting used to before I can give any constructive feedback, but my initial impression is - I don't like the black side headings. They just look out of place. :~ And I appreciate the effort that has gone in to it all, but the home page... talk about distraction overload. Waaaay too many different different font styles, colours and box styles. On the plus side, the menus are much nicer to navigate. I lied about the feedback bit - the padding around article content needs to be bigger (including the header summary). Why is All Topics underlined? Ok, time for bed... :zzz:

Don´t look bad, but I think that a bit of GRADIENTS don´t hurt for example in the green tool bar and in the backs of the top and left a little gradient between a light orange and a bit more dark orange will look better :) Anyway just my 2 cents Cheers And keep moving forward. ----- --> my articles [^]

It's the selected tab - if you select another, that'd get underlined instead :-) Regards, Nish

A few things that I noticed: (IE6/XP) The Help!, Articles, etc. menu bar has a _horrible_ flicker when the window is resized! I'm not exactly sure why. The Lounge posts on the main page: the header is smaller than the body, probably due to the Aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh! post or perhaps it's a box-model thing, since it renders correctly under Firefox. Also, more a personal preference: why is the Search located at some odd location? Why not left- or right- justified? Or centered? It just seems to be in a very strange spot that ruins the symmetry of the page. Also, why does the article header go in between the main header and the sidebar? It looks a little strange to me. And to be really picky, the ~20px margin around the ads on the right (on user_reply.asp) should include the top. Right now the "Ultimate Toolbox" ad is ~3px below the green nav bar: it just looks a bit odd. --- But overall I'd say a job well done, it will just take a little getting used to. I'm not surprised - and don't be discouraged - to see so many negative comments in the Lounge - for things like this people with negative opinions tend to be more motivated to post than people with good opinions. Good job :jig:; have a :beer: Mike

Nice. The orange down the side and top is a bit dominating though. BTW, where'd the "who's who" list go? Marc Pensieve Some people believe what the bible says. Literally. At least [with Wikipedia] you have the chance to correct the wiki -- Jörgen Sigvardsson
