Oh, you're missing a period at the end.
Ok, I'll get on that. Heh, thanks

Also you have faint rows of zeros in the image, itt would be more 'techy' if there were ones and zeros and really geeky if they meant something (like pi in binary)
Ha ha, there actually are 1s and 0s, look closer. And they do mean something, it said "If you can read this, you have way too much time on your hands", but after adding the gradient, you couldn't see it all :(

Photoshop CS3 and Illustrator CS3, but you could get along fine without illustrator

Instead of making a new thread, I thought I'd just post here, it's similar enough. I'm working on a new website, here it is so far:
http://www.magicsoftinc.com/

It has a very Vista-y feel, no? I didn't intend for that it happen, it just kinda did. It's still a work in progress though

Boo, you took it down :(

Feel free to give me a yell if you need help with html/css/php/whatever.

Edit: Oh, it moved to the front page. I like it, and yes, it does have a vista-ish feel. Drop in the bluecurve background from the GNOME theme for a Linux feel :P
EditEdit: *LOVE* the search box, even if it isn't where it's supposed to be!

The small disclaimer in the bottom right will likely be too small to read once the image is shrunk down. Have you examined it at actual size?

Thanks! (I stole that idea from IE... but I thought I was more deserving of such an effect, especially since it doesn't even work right in IE) And care to elaborate? I'd LOVE to fix all bugs, it's where it's supposed to be on my computer. What browser do you have? And can I see a screenshot? Thanks much!

It's readable, a little squinting is required to read it, but that's kinda part of the joke, like.. the... fine print... I guess... Or something. Ya know :)

"where it's supposed to be" is subjective, most often people look to the top right or top/bottom of the nav bar for a site search function. Extreme bottom right is very very rare but as long as the whole frame fits on the screen there won't be any problems with finding it (eventually).

I'm almost jealous there isn't a BANNED theme like it!

"The Fine Print" isn't very fine at all, but in favor of full-disclosure there's no reason to have it 'fine' in the first place. I simply link to my email address and to the legal page in my footers (eh, I should get around to making that legal page, shouldn't I?)

Yeah, I was debating the search box location, but settled on having it down there, the homepage is short, so if people see it there, hopefully they'll remember it's there when they need it. That's the plan at least :)
Also, you may want to try "ScreenGrab!", it's a Firefox plugin that can copy or save screenshots of an entire webpage, no matter how long. I find it VERY useful

:D

Glad I could help! As far as developing sites goes, I'm set with a copy of vim and the WebDeveloper FF plugin, it makes looking at the http headers much less painful. Oh, and http://last.fm :P
