Thats pretty cool.

One pointer, check some of the aspects on the pictures, because the lines in the "room" are so straight it makes even the slightest error in the pictures look obvious.

And yes it is nitpicking but it was like an almost instant first impression.

**Damien** · 05-11-2006, 19:09

Nope! Thanks, thats the kind of thing i am looking for. You miss things like that when your judging it yourself

very good

one slight thing - is the second picture on the left displaying too narrow, it looks like some is missing compared to the 'thumbnail'?

**Damien** · 05-11-2006, 19:15

Nah, it because to fit the pictures into the frames like that i kinda messed with the ratio. So the thumbnail is actually to wide

thats really nice, i like the way the pictures light up

I had to search for a good few minutes to find the little x button in the pictures. Why not make iot standard top right hand corner to be more user friendly?

Halcyon · 06-11-2006, 08:43

I'd agree with Druchi, maybe consider the close X on the right instead.

Also, you may want to center the flash into the middle of the browser window.

Nice, easy to navigate, and good layout

It works well here, even when being forced though my accesability stuff

Looks good. Another minor detail: the colour of 'Gallery', 'Biography' and 'Credits' changes on mouse-over. However, the lilac (?) is almost invisible against the grey background for Gallery and Bio (on the gallery page). Perhaps a colour that stands out against the grey would be better?

Cheers, guys. I am looking into the X button but there is a problem is that images are different sizes and are being loading externally. Making it hard to know where exactly the right hand side is.

The colour I will properly change.

Very nice

Another minor point, in some of the pictures (eg first left) the pointer changes in places as though there is a link, but there isn't (if you know what I mean).

Very good, but suffers from the annoying IE 'Click to Activate' ActiveX issue. See the attached link for how to work around this.

For the X button can't you, using Actionscript find how wide the picture is and place the X n number of pixels from the right or left?
