<xanax`>: david ?
<davidc>: morning
<xanax`>: hello
<xanax`>: have you slept well ?
<davidc>: yes thanks, guess i was catching up after a week of not much sleep
<xanax`>:
<xanax`>: i made some changes for the notebook
<xanax`>: and i made a new background image. tell me what you think
xanax` is sending them in email
<xanax`>: sent
<davidc>: i like the stripes
<davidc>: the colour is a bit harsh though
<davidc>: or maybe it is okay if the green changes
<davidc>: anyway, it is on the site so you can see it now
<xanax`>: i like it
<xanax`>: it's less harsh than one of the screenshots you gave me
<xanax`>: CatalogScreenshot_CelebrationBus.png
<xanax`>: i was thinking of adding animated stars in the background
<xanax`>: just like ingame
<xanax`>: http://www.erikfriend.com/jquery.particles/
<davidc>: have to be careful not to slow down anyone's computer
<davidc>: we can try later anyway
<davidc>: trying to get the webpage to load a font now
<xanax`>: yes, maybe this background_stripes.png image could also be optimized (size reduced)
<xanax`>: aligning all these divs is not an easy task..
<davidc>: ugh these
<davidc>: yes i was just about to say that!
<xanax`>:
<davidc>: when you start using css to avoid using tables, the css becomes very ugly
<xanax`>: and it's without thinking of new CSS3 properties..
<xanax`>: last time it also took us time to finish the goofans website
<davidc>: ok! everything is roughly where it should be now
<davidc>: (except in IE which I will worry about later)
<xanax`>: shouldn't the main part of the website be lower? because of the black ads placeholder on the right
<xanax`>: isn't it supposed to be empty space between this ads placeholder and the 6 navigations buttons ?
<Mygod>: hello all
<xanax`>: hello Mygod
<davidc>: howdy
<davidc>: xanax`: yes i'll move that down and also put an ad in there to see what it looks like
<davidc>: just making the content area background image a bit wider
<xanax`>: ok
<xanax`>: sure sure.. do whatever you want
<xanax`>: it's your site
<xanax`>: i am thinking about the 6 navigation buttons...
<xanax`>: it's common to have normal buttons in grey and while hovered, coloured
<xanax`>: but maybe we could display the normal buttons in color too (but with the border in grey)
<xanax`>: and if the visitor hovers them... the border becomes sliver light
<Mygod>: I have a suggestion, when there is a post have a long title, other 'goo package' column will wrap into 2 lines in my browser (Chrome), please fix it
<davidc>: not done the mouseover yet
<davidc>: but yes it might look nicer if it has some colour rather than a block of grey if the mouse isn't over
<davidc>: Mygod: on what page?
<Mygod>: recent posts
<Mygod>: http://goofans.com/tracker
<Mygod>: sorry I forgot to tell you just now
<davidc>: what's wrong with it wrapping onto two lines?
<xanax`>: it's also on two lines here (firefox 16). And I don't dislike it.
<davidc>: better now?
<sargasso>: [SVN goofans r544] by david: don't allow wrapping of the first column of tracker table
<xanax`>: has something changed ? oO...
<xanax`>: there is a long topic "How do you make fire like on the "Keep on Running Level" by Goomatz?"
<xanax`>: that is still on two lines..
<xanax`>: i don't see any real problem
<davidc>: the first column ("goo package") etc was what he was talking about wrapping
<davidc>: anyway that is done, time to return to more urgent things!
<xanax`>:
<Mygod>: problem is fixed
<Mygod>: thanks
<davidc>: ah the google ads have finally shown up
<davidc>: the background image is much too big
<xanax`>: too big ? in dimensions or file size ?
<davidc>: dimensions, reload the page
<xanax`>: it's fine here... it's stretched
<davidc>: hm that is the size of the image you sent me
<xanax`>: with : 1320
<xanax`>: height : 1439
<xanax`>: wow lol ... indeed
<davidc>: ads_placeholder.png
<davidc>: 354x159
<xanax`>: oh
<xanax`>: this one
<xanax`>: width : 354
<xanax`>: height : 159
<davidc>: yes but look at the size of the ad that goes in it
<xanax`>: hold on, I have to disabled adblock plus
<davidc>: if that is made smaller - and if you can remove maybe 5-10 pixels from the post at the top, i think the page will then fit without having to move the dark green down
<xanax`>: oh I see
xanax` is fixing that
<xanax`>: email sent
<davidc>: bingo
<xanax`>: maybe we will have to change that black image...
<xanax`>: it's not really pretty
<xanax`>: even on goofans
<xanax`>: take the 2nd navigation button (with the nintendo console)
<xanax`>: even this device would be better instead of this black image..
<davidc>: yep that is cool, as long as it is completely covered by the ad when the ad is shown
<xanax`>: with a "console" the ad could be placed on the LCD screen..
<xanax`>: something like that
<xanax`>: new navigation buttons sent by email
<xanax`>: i hope they'll be ok (I have added some alpha transparency)
<davidc>: ah yes, nice
<xanax`>: hmm
<davidc>: trying to figure out how to get rid of this 1px gap betwen the top dark green and the middle dark green in chrome
<xanax`>: it seems the alpha transparency is not enough
<xanax`>: it's still to o dark imo
