OpenWings Updates: May 5th

the skin looks exactly similar to the new hyi skin .

i like black.  have you considered a logo at the top?  slick looking site.

A few observations and suggestions:
- The blue colours used for the links, and the green used for usernames are quite hard on the eyes. Just not enough contrast.
- You should consider increasing the height of the background image used in the table headers, as if you increase the text size in your browser it doesn't cover the entire block.
- Adding a slight background texture to the body might make it look better, as the "glass" effects used for the headers stands out a bit much in comparison to the more minimalist look you seem to be aiming for with the rest of the page.
- As already mentioned, a logo might be a good idea, but just adding your sites name in a larger font there would make it look a bit less empty.

Other than that, I kinda like it

I see almost the entire word "Wings" in the header and then "OpenWings" what seems like about 500 pixels to the right.

It looks a bit different now, but it's still messed up.

I'm using Fx 2.0.0.3 on Ubuntu Linux 7.04.

Now I don't see any text at all.

Yes, just set the image to have a transparent background in whatever image editor you use.

The blue link text is blinding. Can't see looking at it for more than a few seconds.

If you're looking for a small, free image editor with alpha transparency support, you can try here.

You might also want to take a look at Paint.NET. It's free, it's powerful, and it has a low learning curve. It's one of the few things I miss about Windows.
