Nate...it is a gallery, there can be a multiple gallery within header, hey Ace is this DF gallery????

**Aceman** · 04-12-2008, 01:25 AM

Some Answers:

1. The menu may be able to be hidden.. I'm not sure.
2. I moved the SFM title up because when you mouse over a number (1-10) the thumbnail of that image was blocked by the SFM title. I also shifted the text for the credits over to the right because if the title of the image were to be rather long, it too would appear under the SFM title.
3. No white lines for me.
4. That small ICON on the left, is for categories. I could (in the future) seperate the headers into different categories. MY CURRENT plan (subject to change) is in MAY to move all current header into a category called "Apirl 2008" and make a new category called "May 2008" with all new headers. (method of submission will be posted soon). What this accomplishes is that we archive the current headers into an accessible category, and put up new header each month. It's a archive of previous headers. The categories will grow each month. The SWF file never gets bigger, it just references an xml file when required. I think you'll love it.

More soon.

it'll definitely keep from getting stale, which will be awesome

I don't have the option of showing you navigation on mouseover. It's either ON or OFF. I kind of like it, but if the majority wants it removed. I can do that.. however you won't be able navigate to categories.

I would like to add that I merely increase the stage of the flash file by another 25 pixels. I didn't actually crop the headers or make them smaller. I just added the navigation bar.

Great work on the blue skin! I just wish that it was darker*shrug* wait now I don't, just had to get used to it I guess. Also the header ideas sound great, it would be nice to see a full collection of headers throughout the year. Hey, now I can make a good image of my model

**Comco** · 04-12-2008, 05:58 AM

Wow. The blue theme does indeed look great! I'm with Lantean though...I'd prefer to see it with a darker main background...But the graphics on either side of the screen? Damned nice work there Chris.

**Tovette** · 04-12-2008, 06:39 AM

Yeah the blue rocks out.

**Samurai** · 04-12-2008, 08:29 AM

Yup- my current default.

Chris: Are you using Slideshow Pro for the flash header?

I think its a nice idea, having the header in stages like that- will keep it from getting routine.

I like the "white-hazard" skin, that blue one is cool too. I like changing skins regularly

Nice work!

I absolutely LOVE the new flash header!
I think if you could replace the navigation buttons with more subtle ones no one will complain about that navigation bar being there...

On a minor side note i noticed the credits interfere with that loading circle. Maybe you could move that circle to the bottom right?

Keep up the good work!
Regards Roman
