If you are reading this, you have probably spotted the new front page to OSGrid.org – it’s part of a new template we’re going to be deploying across all elements of the site, including the forums, news and elgg sections.
The design of this site is actually part commercial template, part pain-staking customisation and CSS work. The original master PSD was done by Arix Media, who operate the very useful 4templates.com – the very base of our layout is one of them. This PSD was re-converted to XHTML/CSS by Chad Thomas – and finally the Elgg, WordPress & phpBB templates (as well as template modifications) were done by Adam Frisby.
We’ve started with deploying the site template to the very front page of OSGrid.org – the main aim for this was simply to replace the current template with something more dynamic (and at the same time, use the opportunity to fix a long-standing issue with IE and the front page.)
hmmmm needs more colour and the main writing definitely needs to be brighter against the background
Hi nice work first time I been able to log in for a long time please keep up the good work ty very much
Don’t want to complain, but the new website is quite dark, actually, and hard to read. Especially the comments, which are dark gray text on a bit darker gray background. For comparision, the colorscheme on the main elgg site is much easier to read.
Is there a possiblity to get a dark on bright (e.g. black on white) colorscheme back, at least when logged in?
