Deb > I really like your FLASH =) I think overall it looks > very sharp. Glad somebody likes it lol!!! Trust me guys it will be better when it's finished...
> There are 2 things I would change. 1) it's very narrow - I would widen it out a bit > - I'm thinking to 700'ish px or so Just goes to show how long ago I did the design work (been up to my neck in PHP for a month) I thought it was!! Or at least I was going to redesign to 700px wide. If I have the time with deadlines now I think I will, otherwise it'll have to stay as it is for a while :( > and 2) I don't care for the grey-purple-y gradient > background ~coloring~ That does need to change to a dark blue to go with the rest of the TMM colouring. I think I'll stick with the gradient though as the flat colour seemed, well, too flat when I mocked it up (did originally do a drop shadow on either side but that caused problems if the content <div> was shorter than the page height). > I would like to ask if you'd share the way you did > your rounded corners? I'm rather pleased with myself with these things I must say. One of those nice little revelations you get when you're trying to sleep. Don't have the time ATM for full CSS but basically this is what I did: -- used a heading tag (either H2 or H3 depending on where in the page the panel appears) styled with an image with rounded corners for the top. The image is just tall enough to give the rounded edge. The background colour is the same as the background colour in the image, then the image is placed at the top of the block and not repeated. -- the panel content is a <ul> with the relevant size and colour borders left and right. The <li>s inside of the <ul> are styled accordingly for position and stuff. -- there are 3 key classes for the <a>s inside the <li>s though: .first, .last and .solo. .first (for the first list item) has a background image positioned no-repeat with does the inner rounded corners. As most of the margins are set to 0 in this lot, the inner rounded corners will be flush to the heading, giving the rounded panel look. .last has the thick bottom border to close the panel .solo is a combination of both for single-item panels. So using the images fixed to the top of the relevant blocks (with borders and background colours mainly used for the panel effect) it doesn't matter how much the blocks size with the flow and size of text, the rounded panel effect is maintained. I'm rubbish at describing things so I shall post the CSS I used if you want to have a look, alternatively have a look at http://www.themmen.co.uk/newsite/lib/css/screen.css and find the "quicklinx" class (it needs a lot of cleaning up though).
