Hi! Here's a custom skin I'm working on for someone. It's pretty much done. Her res is 800x600 so it took me forever to align things for that res and higher res. Please let me know if things are misaligned. I have two different color schemes.. can you guys tell me which one you like better?

1. Bright

2. Not So Bright

Comments, critiques, whatever are all welcomed. Thanks

i like the second one...and i love savage garden! but i'm not a fan of the wide xanga

yeah,the not so bright one is nice

i won't say, because my laptop has a birghtview screen and so everything looks much brighter anyway =D

i really like the horizontal scrolling. although i've seen it a lot recently, i like yours since it's a little different and it's not the browser scrollbar but the div one. they're both really creative =] keep up the good work.

Ow. my eyes. But.. i like the dark one. :-P

i like both truthfully but the 2 one the most

very good! it looks excellent! i like the first one. and i like how your skins are cool but they're like for older people! do you get what i mean, well if you don't, i love it.

hmm, i like both =] but yeh, the wide xanga is not my style..

i like both of them. i have nothing to critique on them. awesome job!

to me, they're equally nice. it's a great layout.. the horizontal scroll fits in.

^ haha I know whatchu mean! Thanks Well I'm older now so I guess my designing style has evolved.. lol. But when I was like 16 I loved to make those cutesy Sario and Final Fantasy layouts.. haha.. they were so dope. BTW, I've been meaning to tell you for a long time that I always get you confused with "allthatglitters".. I think it's because she use to have a Finding Nemo avatar before and her sn reminds me of ur xanga sn. I hope I didn't call her Grace before.. but I probably did. lol I should probably PM this message to you but oh well...

--------------------------

Anyway, thanks everyone for your feedbacks! I'm so happy that all the divs are aligned. Took me hours to figure that out I may do a tutorial on getting divs to align for all resolutions. Since I notice a lot of ppl have problems with that. Well anyway she likes the second color scheme better. I couldn't decide which one I liked better so I just wanted to see what u guyz thought. =o) Well I've made horizontal scroll layouts before but this was like my first one in two years. I know it can be really annoying to scroll horizontally. But this was fun to make!

nice. original. and creative. both of them :]

wow i really like the idea of the page and it really neat. I love it. Awesome job!

Gosh, I like your stuff!

I like the brighter one.

aww the "not so bright" one is cute. goshies you guys are so creative..I can't do these things if it was so save my life.

honestly i can't choose. i really like them both. they were done wonderfully and i especially like the image all the way on the right. great job

the bright one creates a lovely contrast with the grayish background. though the not-so-bright one seems more sophisticated. one think you might do is lower the entire thing to align to the middle of the screen. make it easier for the viewer to read so they wont have to keep looking up, which is sort of a strain. also it would balance out the entire page. if your general direction is horizontal:

---------->


it makes no sense to put every thing at the top. the two directions are competing with each other:

get what i mean?

It looks like you spent a lot of work on the layout. I like the second one better, it seems softer and kind of welcoming. The vector at the end look really nice. I love how you divided the sections. The pixel font for the words "+ ADD ME" and "scroll for more" doesn't look right with the rest of your layout. You should try changing it to the font you used for "Love of Beauty is Taste"... i like the layout, good job.

^ Yea I really wanted everything to be middled aligned, and it is on her res 800x600. But when I middle align it for 1024x768+.. it's just off on 800x600. Too low and goes off the screen. I tried to persude her to change to 1024x768 but she said everything just looked too small for her. o_O So I just made the browser automatically resize so it looks middle aligned for ppl with higher resolutions. I don't know how to get the browser to pop up to the center of the screen for everyone so that's why it shows up all the way in top left corner. =oT

i love the 1st one XD, its very nice ^______^ great job

I like the first one better. Overall, I love the horizontal-ness and all the customizable options. I'm undecided on the all the occurances of pixel font ("Add Me," and, "Scroll for more," and the "MsTiffany" one underneath "Relax"). It seems like it was used a bit too much. Other than that, wonderful job.

maybe if you just add some line breaks before the div, that'll do.. it wont be centered, but it wont be at the very top either.

also one thing i noticed was the pixel font you used for "scroll for more.."

it would be better if you used some sort of cursive font because cursive fonts tend to lean to the right, and it guides the viewer's eyes in the right direction.

EDIT://

divs dont have the valign attribute, but if you wrap the entire thing in a table, it should align to the middle:
