In Firefox, the text runs right up to the left and right edges of the tan area and with the black background (which I like)the edges of the letters get swallowed up visually. Request a few pixels of gutter in the center, plz. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/hi_fires_07_may.html#comment-59835 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/hi_fires_07_may.html#comment-59835 Tue, 08 May 2007 20:05:37 -0600 Gang, Either black or red. Both look excellent with the earth tones used for everything else. The red looks very good colour-wise, especially with the khaki/coffee combo. However, the black focuses the reader onto the text columns, rather than dancing in the background like the cammo pattern did, or the red somewhat does. Respects, http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/hi_fires_07_may.html#comment-59832 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/hi_fires_07_may.html#comment-59832 Tue, 08 May 2007 17:16:40 -0600 Uh-oh - Cass's winding up to start throwing trivets.

Sheesh. It was red when I came over here, so I was commenting on that, not on her comment or her grrrl-ness. The black is OK with the tan but I'd like a less pink-y tan. More like the color over at Jules' place. And yes. I'm picky. Pppppphhhhhhttt. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/hi_fires_07_may.html#comment-59823 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/hi_fires_07_may.html#comment-59823 Tue, 08 May 2007 14:07:10 -0600 are very lovable, it is true.]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/hi_fires_07_may.html#comment-59822 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/hi_fires_07_may.html#comment-59822 Tue, 08 May 2007 13:43:29 -0600 I don't know. I'm kind of liking the red. If you really had to have it color coordinated, I suppose a darker red would be okay, but I don't know if you would have to change the inlaid stuff. Actually, I'm kind of liking the tan and red. Maybe the coloumn/section headings would be okay as red, too? Then it would be like desert redlegs. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/hi_fires_07_may.html#comment-59819 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/hi_fires_07_may.html#comment-59819 Tue, 08 May 2007 12:45:26 -0600 That's me. a *gurl*. And the person that will now go reside in the dungeon with ry and steal all his cheetos because I am obviously killing everyone's posts today. Actually, I just thought no one else was posting and decided someone needed to keep the H&I's alive for all those new traffic folks who were sent here from the weekly standard and such. On the Bots on the Ground, at least twice I had to look at the header to make sure it was a legitimate report because some of it seemed so hokey.

I give up. My stuff keeps getting blown away. I'll just put it in it's own post. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/hi_fires_07_may.html#comment-59815 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/hi_fires_07_may.html#comment-59815 Tue, 08 May 2007 12:10:51 -0600 *sigh* If the background is red, you need to go to a grey and white or something clean for the panels, with maybe a bit of blue or gold for an accent but you have to be careful. And I'd go with a darker red - more like crimson. It's classier and easier on the eyeballs. Men and color :p http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/hi_fires_07_may.html#comment-59814 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/hi_fires_07_may.html#comment-59814 Tue, 08 May 2007 12:10:34 -0600 2 things. 1. I agree with Kat, make the background Artillery Red. 2. The story about the Bots on the ground got me some strange looks at work when I laughed during the story. I can see myself doing exactly what the grunts do with their bots. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/hi_fires_07_may.html#comment-59811 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/hi_fires_07_may.html#comment-59811 Tue, 08 May 2007 11:51:41 -0600 You know, not this one either. Maybe black or red or something dark. You know, red might be good for a redleg. Or dark green kind of gives a tan and dark green hunter look. http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/hi_fires_07_may.html#comment-59810 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/hi_fires_07_may.html#comment-59810 Tue, 08 May 2007 11:35:09 -0600 I'm experimenting. It wasn't green on the monitor at home, though it is on the laptop, certainly. Ditching the camo tiles should speed load times for dialup users, as well as reduce the stress on my server. But thank you for the feedback. And the reinforced feedback... http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/hi_fires_07_may.html#comment-59808 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/05/hi_fires_07_may.html#comment-59808 Tue, 08 May 2007 11:15:58 -0600 OOps.
