why does the scrollbar work backwards? O_O

at least that's what it seems like, I'd personally reverse the scrollbar colors (light for bar, dark for background), but that's just me...

top_buzz · 04-10-2005, 13:50

yeah someone else has said that, i'll give it a switch-a-roo in a min.

briljant oranje · 04-10-2005, 14:10

Coolio. how'd you get the electronic screen style effect ? just by putting a mesh-like grid over stuff ?

top_buzz · 04-10-2005, 14:14

just draw a pixel grid with a transparent background then stick it in flash as a .png

Could you all take another look and tell me what you think to the green?

I showed the client this morning and he hates the green saying its hard to read.

ZenElements · 05-10-2005, 05:30

First off - the customer/client is 'always' right... ok, we can read it with little difficulty but if he feels that visitors to his site might have trouble reading it, do as the man says.

Secondly - And this was mentioned before, what is with the it content scroll bar... it does look like it is going backwards... sorry. Think you still have to switch those two shades...

Thirdly - ok, I do quite like it. And talking about green... I am a little jealous of your flash skills, so good for you.

ditto. I think it looks wicked BTW but you obviously have to change it, right? Not going to try and talk the customer around, are you?

top_buzz · 05-10-2005, 05:36

been asked to do this as well:

"...can we put something in the top box eg the image of the 2 girls kissing...."

quality... who says the customer always know best?

pgo · 05-10-2005, 05:38

"Hey, dude, could you...like...put some lesbians and shit in there?"

ZenElements · 05-10-2005, 05:41

Don't get me wrong here!
The customer/client doesn't always 'know best' but they are the ones you are working for and at the end of the day, if they ain't happy, they ain't paying.
It does suck. I too have had clients wanting little bits and peices changed JUST before the launch when they could ahve just as easily mentioned nearer the start... it is very VERY annoying, I know!

And (Laughing Out Loud) at PGO! Sorry, I do still hate the 'lol' thing...

If you made all the body text the same shade of green and a bit lighter it would be easier to read.

Alternatively you could re-do it in CSS / XHTML using XL fonts for the visually impaired

top_buzz · 05-10-2005, 06:11

Yeah I can make it easier to read pretty easy but he does'nt like the green :P

Ha ha. I wish my clients would say that to me! Instead I have to make sites about office dividers.

Well it ain't gonna work in any other colour (concept being the old school monochrome displays) so you're gonna have to find a compromise.

*edit* I'd like to see the Action Script for your scrollbars BTW. They're awesome.

weldo · 05-10-2005, 06:33

That fuckin' tune is horrible. Its like being violently murdered.
I for one, would prefer the default setting for the audio to be OFF.

VERY, VERY, OFF.

Everything else is cool, though....

pgo · 05-10-2005, 06:40

I'm with weldo. I hate techno, drum n' bass, house, jungle or whatever the glowstick-wielding ravers want to call it.

Site's nice, though. As usual.
