I've recently been making my website Archux to look a lot like KDE4. What do you think? Anything look out of place? See my signature for the website...

Well done but may I ask which tools did you use to create it.

All made using Inkscape :) and coded using KWrite.

You've got to change the white text on grey comment box.

Website - Awesome
Content - Awesome
Design - Horrible

Use/make a simple, clear, easy to read theme.

If the design is so horrible, could you tell me what I could do to make it easier to read? Get rid of the background? Put a background on the content? Change the font colour?

@tbroderick: I'll get to fixing that...

Looks awesome. Much better than anything I can do...

I like it but I have to say it's not very...Uniform I guess is the word.

I'm on a Monitor with a Resolution of 1680x1050 and it all seems a bit messy. if you could improve the main body so it's more together it would look a million times better.

As for the theme it's not bad, apart from the google ad that doesn't seem to fit where it is, maybe move it closer to the text above it so it doesn't sit in a big gap on it's own.

Just my thoughts.

Could you give me a screenshot? The highest resolution monitor I have is 1280x1024, so I can't really test it in higher resolutions...

Looks great in 1024x768 for Firefox 3.

Well I already knew that. A reason for the new design was to make it still fluid in 1024x768. Anyone using a higher resolution (1600x1050 or something..) and if so could you give me a screenshot of my website so I can see the problem a bit better?

I think it looks wonderful. I am in 1024x768 also.

The website indeed looks better at a certain resolution (it looked better when I resized my windows to be smaller).

My normal resolution (http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/4959/screenshot1zi9.jpg) vs. resized window (http://img253.imageshack.us/img253/3787/screenshot2ay6.jpg).

So it's not "best viewed in a resolution of 1024 x 768 or higher", it's "best viewed at around the resolution of 1024 x 768." ;)
I think you should put a specified width for your website.

Wow thanks guys :)

As for it looking not so great on high resolutions, (especially that pesky adsense banner) I'll have to work something out with that...I was thinking a KDE 4 style line going behind it to make it complete. I'll update it some time later today and ask what you think.

Ok, I've added the line. Does it look better?
