Hi Reed, Nice work! Regarding the boxes in #1, is there any way to make the round corners anti-aliased? It looks a bit weird in contrast to to the smooth backgroudn image and the anti-aliased VOS logo.
Regarding #2, I think mouseover-popups are not a good idea for large things such as screenshots, better make them popup on click. I like the colorful tree-branch, but maybe that works better as a fixed rather than scrolling background too? The only real issue I have is with the headline fonts; maybe it is a Safari/Mac problem, but they look extremely fat, to an extent where they are barely legible. Keep up the nice work, Karsten Otto (kao) Am 18.02.2008 um 15:29 schrieb Reed Hedges: > > I made the divs a bit transparent in #1.
