FortKnox's Journal: Slashdot, Master of Graphic Design!

If you think the games section was bad, just look at the IT section.

Seriously, Taco & Co need to take some more css/graphic design classes... or get OSDN to hire a graphic designer to fix the sections up a bit.

I'm not graphic designer, but, damn, I'm not that bad.

FYI - don't go to the IT section for too long. You'll have a horrendous headache and be temporarily blind for a few hours.

wow ...

I'm colorblind and that still hurt :(

Holy poop.

[JMZero]

We'll charitably call the color beige, and ignore the fact that it's ugly to start with.

But white text on a light beige gradiant?

Beige text on slightly lighter beige background?

What, couldn't they figure out how to use the blink tag? No budget for animated GIF's?

Re:Holy poop.

[wheany]

At least they're not using a multicolored background image.

[Oculus Habent]

I once made a background of a color-changing GIF. Not for anything useful, I just wanted to see how bad it hurt.

hey thanks man

[Em Emalb]

I always wanted to have to dictate my comments to a secretary*. And because of you and the slashcrew, now I can!

WOW!

*I had to fire my old one, she tried to seduce me with a nice Chianti once

I like the games section

[mekkab]

well, I htink the games section is ugly as sin, but I like it incomparison to that crap!

Makes me long for blinky text.

I thought that Kathleen was their artsy person

[John Harrison]

Maybe CT needs to pay her to look over the site once in a while and fix things that might result in users harming their keyboards by regurgitating on them.

I LIKE

[Zirnike]

the games section colors...

Re:I LIKE

[NeMon'ess]

damnit, i agree. yeah the electric purple is strong, but its interesting and colorful

braindead

[nizo]

I went and looked at the sections at my first thought was, "What, they look fine" for a second or two, and then I remembered I am using the low-graphics no color view.....

I like it!

[arb]

No, really I do. It looks a darn sight better on my monitor at home than it did at work. Okay, it is a bitch to read, but it looks good. Well, okay. -ish.

Then again, I have been drinking...

Re:I like it!

[Some Woman]

Thanks for that. :^)

crap....

[OctaneZ]

both literally and figuratively.
It looks like crap AND it actually looks like crap!
Quite ugly, if they are using CSS anyway, why can't they make the theme toggle-able?
ON: OMG that's crap
OFF: B&W or somesuch but not vomit inducing/reminiscent

Thanks a bunch!!

[Safety Cap]

Of course, when you say, "Don't go there," I have to. Now I'm blind.

The terrorists have won.

It stingss!!!

[aWalrus]

I don't know if I'm the only one this happens too, but when I get a visual stimulus as strong as that one, I kind of hear a ringing sound (just in my mind).

That's just wrong on so many levels.

there is a way to avoid this

[convictus]
