## New look for the news page first

I am now implementing that new darker look for the news page as a first start. Let’s see how it turns out.

Update: I changed the links to orange (thanks St3ady for the idea) and added a new logo by Biff. The listing pages are half updated, the descriptions might follow later. I already miss the pink. :P

   The pink is too dominant now. Almost looks like a porn site or something.

   I agree. But it’s hard finding another colour. If you can suggest a good one I would be delighted. :)

   I like this, it looks better! I dont think you can improve this much. It’s STRIKING!! :D

   No idea. Maybe make it a little brighter?

   Apart from the colors, I think the links to the maps should stick out from the other ones – they’re easy to miss, especially since it’s unclear what this site is about (no real information on the front page except for the window title). Maybe make them larger and bold.

   i like it, i am fine with the pink but you may want to see what it looks like with a bright orange color, similar to the one in the firefox logo

   Orange looks cool, Spirit.

   But can you change the “Q” of Quaddicted to the familiar “Q” we are all used to thanks to Quake?

   Yeah, looks good now. The logo is a bit too wide for a 1024 resolution (800 maybe?), though, because of the page margins. While the menu looks fine in a box on the left side of the front page, it kind of sucks in the map listings. Makes the page even wider. I didn’t mind the centered links beneath the logo – felt most practical/intuitive (+ ‘back to the top’ link at the bottom of spmaps.html). Either as text links or as images with the same metal texture as the logo.

    Wow, this looks really neat! Much, MUCH better than that porno pink. XD

    Really cool site, man. Quaddicted is the nursery of my Quake mod needs. ;)

    The Q will stay as it is, the Quake Q is cool but wouldn’t fit this logo. ;)

    The width, I don’t know. Screens are getting wider and wider. I’ll try how it looks like in 768×96 though.

    As I want to get a lot more stuff on this site the horizontal links are not practical as they would look way too cluttered. The menu holds about 1/3 of the links it will have hopefully soon.

    :D

    the new logo is very fitting. maybe not as sexy as the old one but it’s very “quake”.

    Haha, dEus! You should go into astrology or something. :P

    Prefere the old porno pink design :P
    This one is a bit exhausting for the eyes.
    A bit brighter background would be better.
