Hi everyone,  
For the past few days, I’ve received feedback from the mods (and freeskier89) regarding a re-design of the site. Here is a largely finalized version of the design highlighted by two sample pages:

[**http://www.kirupa.com/new\_layout/index\_v3.htm**](http://www.kirupa.com/new_layout/index_v3.htm)  
[**http://www.kirupa.com/new\_layout/index\_v3\_tutorial.htm**](http://www.kirupa.com/new_layout/index_v3_tutorial.htm)

Some of the major changes are:

**Cleaner Layout**  
It’s all about the white space!

**Customizable Header**  
The header color can be customized. Hover over the header and hover over one of the seven colored squares. The colors are saved, so you won’t have to re-customize after each page load.

**Different Site Navigation**  
The navigation on the left has greatly been simplified. Hovering over the Tutorials link brings up a pop-out menu with the specific tutorial sections.

**Improved Tutorial Navigation**  
The tutorial next page/previous page have been modified along with a list of all of the pages in the tutorials.

Of course, there are numerous minor changes. What do you all think?

Thanks!  
Kirupa :rambo:

Sort of like this. Kirupa what are you using to do your gradients… I don’t think you have your output settings right. When ever you doing .gif just put exact and it will output every color it can as close as it possibly can.
