WOW!!! Great work Abe Babe!! This is great!!!! I love the tech look it has ... Though I think you should replace the oddworld icons with something els, or at least give em a diffrent color. They look kinda out a place on the main page...

I don't like the line of buttons under the OWF logo. They seem to continue in a pointless line across the slig's feet.

Besides that, it looks great.

Thanks everyone for the compliments. Makes me feel appreciated.

Hmmm, that doesn't sound right. It should look like the attached. Can you post a screenshot and what browser are you using? I have only tested it on IE6, but when I was working on it a few months back I viewed it in Mozilla at work. So I'll check at work tomorrow to make sure it works in that browser also.

I still plan on doing a native skin, but it will be a more graphical skin like the industrial skin, as opposed to the basic skin it used to be. However, I have no idea as to when this will be, as I am planning to work on content updates for Oddworld-Web next as the site has fallen behind sites like Oddworld Universe and Depths of Oddworld.

Once I make a decision to make the Native skin however, I can guarantee you it won't take as long as this one has, as all of the template modifications [which is what takes the longest] are now done, so it will basically be making new graphics and colors and it should pretty much work from there. Probalby I'll get struck by an instant streak of inspiration one day and surprise you all.

Yup. You work on OWW as much as you need to. Three skins are fine for now.

Yes, just update the character/location pages and such with all the new Stranger info.

Now, this is one cool skin!

I did notice that, while loading, the "feet" of the slig at the top of the screen are not aligned while useing FireFox.
Only when all button images are loaded does the end of the image line up with the slig.

It's only a minor fact, but if you're going for prefection (on FireFox), you might want to address it.

Thank you for the slick skin. Go raibh m*le maith agat ^.^

The messed up buttons were only on Safari (mac). I tried it on Internet Explorer and it looks just fine.

So huzzah.

Well, that's okay ... well and kind of not. I mean it's good to see that no IE browsers are affected, but it's bad to see that it's messed on a particular browser. But as I don't have access to a Mac of any kind, I won't be able to test it. I don't know what would be causing it though, as it's just a HTML table with images. Weird.

:

Isn't FireFox the newer version of Mozilla? I am guessing this problem is because there isn't an image or table width specified, although I'll have to check further. Although it's only minor as you say, but I'm such a damn perfectionist at times. Originally I had the Slig set as a whole image, but the way that vBulletin 3 works with the navigation menus, I had to slice his feet off and add them as a different image for the navigation table.

It's very slight.

It's probably because Mozilla FireFox (the newer version.. I think) tries to load the images page first, then images. It leaves image spaces the size of the-little-white-box-signifying-no-image

I don't think I'll keep the industrial theme, since there's too many images for my Dial-Up connection. I rather the quiker loading (but simplistic) skins.
Next year on broadband!
