I like it, but I think it still hasn't got enough colour. Maybe give it a subtle background colour like the subSilver scheme gives table cell backgrounds on these forums.

Ok, how is this? I put in some example images just to give you a feel. The logo I just stole from the boards, we need to make a cool looking one.

I like that much more.

It might not be necessary, but how about something to divide/differentiate the navigation from the main text?

Yea, I was thinking about making the nav bar the same style as the download and screen box on the right. I'll work more on it later.

And perhaps a bit less bright colour yellow. If it's gonna be a good page that means we stick around it all the time. The current colour yellow will hurt your eyes.

Maybe you can make all background colours softer, like Bart's site.

Sorry to disagree with you there, but I think that yellow is quite nice. It's the fluorescent green, I think, that is a bit bright and would be a bit strong on the eyes.

Yeah, all colors on that shot need to be dimmed a few shades,... It will just be annoying to read. I'll see if I can find my com color charts,... (Big list of the best color combos for computer for reading,... and I must say, I don't think you got many on the higher levels of that chart there,...)

Alright, I'll make the colors a little more subtle next time I work on it. And I have been making sure it's good in Opera, that's my default browser (I just used IE for pics)

If you stick to the W3C (X)HTML standards, the page will work in every browser.

Edit: it looks ok in mozilla though :)

I never checked the HTML, that's why I posted the comment on conforming to the W3C HTML standard.
