The site isn't programmed yet, but I believe I've got the main interface finished. I'd be interested in hearing any comments, good or bad--I can take it. It's going to be my personal site, assuming I actually get around to finishing any copy about myself. <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif"> |

Well, the grey buttons are kind of bland, and don't eem to fit the theme at all. Maybe you could do something with white boxes around them, the a line of black, and *then* the grey? Anything to make them stand out and match the theme. I like the minimal white lines, but they get kind of thin and grey on the quarter circles, maybe a bit of doubling up on those corners could help? Nice start, I could work with that. |

Fantastic. Consider it done. I've also added a text box to the side, and I'm going to be coding a scroller for that, god willing, though I may have to edit the image, not sure yet as to my dhtml skills. <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif"> |

Yup, took the words right out of my mouth Doc. The buttons don't seem to fit at all. A couple other suggestions to remedy that... you could give the buttons a grid background like the main area of the interface, or use the same font as the title... |

These are excellent ideas, and I have incorporated them, I believe. Keep checking back, the interface is changing moment by moment, and as I get more ideas, I'm updating the image on the server. You were definately right that the buttons didn't fit whatsoever, so I removed them, more or less. The flow of the interface is now a bit less stark, and there's more color added. The grid-lines have been changed to include other areas, and I've done some texturing to the left bottom corner. |

I always seem to catch the layouts after they've been altered but what I see so far I like. My only thing would be to either get rid of those light ray things on the buttons or add it to the content section. It seems a litte out of place. Besides that it looks great so far ... cant wait to see the finished product. |

I obviously missed a couple things since the 1st version, but overall I like it. I like the light ray things. The only thing I can say is I'd like to see a little more happening......the images on the top left are kind of washed out, and then you fade to a grid.....maybe when you add the content it will work better, but at the moment it seems kind bland. |

Well, the activity will increase as soon as I finish coding the scroll bar on the right side of the text box and then, subsequently, fill it with text. <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif"> I didn't want to overdo the graphic end of it too much, as it might get more active than even I can handle. <img border=0 align=absmiddle src="http://www.ozones.com/forum/smile.gif"> |
