I know its basic but i put it together in a few minutes cause i thought it would be funny.
c&c.
What can I do to make it not boring. But if I add backgrounds or anything it will ruin the point cause its the blue screen of death.

i like the concept. Though if i were you i would just make the whole thing bigger

I like the concept as well. Although, I think maybe you should make like a monitor kind of looking container for the content and stuff. I think you should also add more, like maybe instead having the nav be on the screen, make like a keyboard with the "ADD, MESSAGE" and etc. as keys. Idk, maybe also make kind of like a little chat window but make it so it works as a comment box. But Idk, that's just a few ideas. shrug.gif biggrin.gif

I think the background of the layout should match the background of the BSOD.

Say what?

O and mike thats a great idea! Maybe ill put it in like a crt monitor!
It would sorta ruin the concept but it would not be as plain. Cause if I submitted it like it is now I dont think it would make it...

In certain browsers guys, it tends to smooth an image a certain way, making it look different, especially in Safari and IE.


Ah. But I'm using IE right now and it looks fine. It also looks fine to me in FF. shrug.gif
Maccabee
hrmm...dont know what I can do about that...
emberfly
looks fine for me.. firefox.

If you turn your contrast all the way up and your brightness all the way up maybe it will work.

Looks fine for me in IE. Neat idea (:
You should make the underscore _ blink on and off. I think it'll look cool happy.gif

Yeah tbh, I'd reject it for being plain. "/

In your code, I did the "view source" it says 0001AB. However, I took a screenshot of the layout open in Safari, and it showed them having two different colors. I opened that screenshot in photoshop, used the dropper tool on one of the pixels in the BSOD and it told me that the hex for that pixel was 1B00A2.

I'm seeing what you see. Here's a screenshot, Joseph:

When I first saw the layout I went "Omg." because of the blue but I like the idea. I think if you add more, like what Mike & JJ suggested, it'd look better.

It's all text you should be able to code a BSOD.

Personally, I think they're both pretty boring... Also, the computer images are both of extremely low quality, might want to fix that.
Mikeplyts
Oohh, the second version is bettter. But yeah, I agree that the image qualities are kinda low. Although, I do like the blinking underscore. shrug.gif
