Reasons for changing the skin/layout
- upgrade to CS1, which
means there are user directories, blogs, polls, guestbook, user
galleries & lots of custom modules... but for now, let's try to get
the old features 100% working
- The old one was a default skin, meaning there are tens of same
looking sites... well, apart from that orange link color. Old skin was
also a bit dull, didn't look exciting, funny or sexy. No branding
whatsoever.
- out current one is resizable... meaning on bigger screens more
stuff is visible and on small screens (like 640*480) you don't have to
scroll horizontally - important when bigscreen phones or webtv's are
more common
I did hand code this layout but was inspired by hundreds of sites I
visited before doing anything. Being only a lousy programmer, I'm quite
pleased as well.
There are also skins available to download for CS, but
unfortunatelly I've decided to make peachy 'a brand', meaning you
cannot change to another skin anymore on your profile... sorry about
that. In addition it would be impossible to test all other skins (there
are lots of other changes then a stylesheet). However, I might cycle
them just like we had a Halloween skin some time back. |
