    Default The NEW NEW TWC layout that is coming.

    Here is the new new layout that is coming along with the CMS script for the site.

    Basically there will be network changes with this design too, no more top bar with the links to network, shop, forums and what not. It just used up space. The right sidebar on most sites was used for forum links and poll, well that was more of a space user than anything else too.

    So now I added more space for the news (that is our focus...updates) and there will be a section above news with daily pic, latest files and latest forum topics. Not sure on the poll yet, but it seems it would be best if we used the forums for that to where we allow discussions too.

    You may like it or hate it, the design that I am designing is coming and staying. I will take input though.

    I may like it? Good! Because I do! Can I ask what exactly is meant by the "CMS script"?

    It's not a vast improvement, but if it'll be working properly that's fair enough with me, good luck

    Nice! I rather like that, actually, especially the red/pink sunset up top.

    I would like to add that the text seems somewhat...dull.

    other than that I like it

    Somethings I plan on changing include the castle on the left once I find a better one and the title....as mentioned it is a bit dull atm.

    I need to get my hands on the beta or game...one of the other so I get more screenshots.

    Personally I like that castle.

    Overall, it looks very good; better than the current one, even. Nice to see that you decided to stick with a similar colour palette.

    Besim, marvellous. Of note, as Soren has pointed out, is that the over all colours will be similar to the current ones.

    Personally, I'd like to see the sunset replaced with more fiery colours, indicating a pillaging and other forms of wanton violence.

    Looks pretty good!

    The text is a little too close to the color of the background right now though, it should stand out a bit more.

    will there still be a Latest Forum Posts box?

    But the sunset has such great colours! I mean if you want the castle burning I could live with that (make a nice contrast too, actuallly)...

    The colours in that sunset look insipid to me.

    Probably a benefit to me of being r-g colour blind then

    I like the sunset as it is, and the fact the colour scheme is staying the same. Nice one!
