  • Personally I like color (I have proof, just look at my site). Dark, black themes really don’t do it for me. That said, I like this dark version. It’s the first simple layout I’ve seen that I’ve really liked the look of. Good job.

    Weee, thanks :-).

    Only complaint: took too long to load. Something needs to be done with the header image – FIVE seconds, on a T-1 connection. Way too long for the image that ultimately appeared.

    The image has 49.9 kb …

    No problem loading here. And that is definitely one of the best dark themes I have ever seen. Excellent work!

    I like the look as well. A great use of hues all around. Too many times I see people use a dark background and then use too bright of accenting colors. That creates considerable visual dissonance for me. Good job!

    p.s. image loaded fine for me but I would think you could optimize it down in size.

    The site looks good as far as I could see it… but too many things on the front page, so I couldn’t wait until all the items download ?? – had to hit the Back button.

    Server is down …

    And up again ??

    @ Moshu: You mean I should get the rate of 10 postings per site down to 5 for instance?

    Too depressing IMHO (too dark).

    I love the simplicity, the “quietude”. And it loaded really fast – considering I’m on dialup and crap lines at that.

    That said, it’s too gloomy for me, but then it’s all subjective, ain’t? My gloom is another’s warm cave-home….

    i do like it, it’s classy and balanced, and doesn’t kills my eyes – that’s important! ??

    e.

    I like it, which is good considering I’m not one to use darker themes that often ??

    Yay, I worked ~ 7 days on it (and another 2 days on all the WP stuff), it is my first template, and I am totally new to this PHP and SQL thingie *happy*.

    Any other statements? I would be very glad about some precise critique that is more specific than “it’s too dark”.
    Thank you all ??
