Nice idea, but it takes forever to load, you should optimize that.
And then the small popups are hard to read, maybe you want to work that over… :wink:

Yeah, the size was a bit big. But that’s because I saved my background picture as a png instead of a jpg. And then I lowerd the quilty on the jpg as well. Got it from 329 Kb to 73Kb and that ain’t bad. You can see a small diffrense in the quality but not much.

But what resultion do you have on your monitor? Because I know some people get a small scroll bar on the side, and I kinda want to get rid of that as well.

howd u do the transparency?

Looks very nice! The idea is very good.
Yes I got the scrollbar.

If you mean the transparency on the pop ups it’s quite easy. Make the grafics in photoshop og fireworks and save it as a png. Png is very nicely supported by flash and take with it transpercy that you have saved. The image takes up a bit more space, but is still small. It’s THE format when you make flash sites :wink: But my background picture is of course a jpg.

yeah a nice concept, but i thought of it more as splash page, nothing really indicates that the type is a menu , yes there is a mouse pointer indicator, but i had to find it.

:: Iam using 1280 X 1024 and your image still comes up with scroll bars!!! , you should be working on at least 800 X 600 or 1024 X 768 maximum , and remember you have to take into account the IE or browser menu bars.

so its more like::

800 X 600 = 760 X 420
1024 X 768 = 955 X 600

Yeah, I have sized it down so a 1024 screen won’t get the scrollbar. But as far as I know about 70% uses that res now.

hey I checked the neilsen net statistics…and no where near that many folks use that res…where did you get your stats?? I wish it was that high…are you referring to a certain market or general users?

Just letting you know…just in case you dont wanna lose some of your 800x600 users.

neilsen net statistics? What is that?
