Visual Changes

Notice the subtle differences in the background on each page? After getting rid of the big and bold flowers and went with complete minimal, I wanted to bring back some visual to give the site a bit of individuality; however, I decided to play with muted graphics to maintain simplicity. I am also at a point of my life where I appreciate nature more than anything; therefore, I would like to reflect that on my personal site.

After looking at the Vault, the Beauty and the Unmatched, I determined to incorporate the graphics into the whole composition instead of just the headers like many sites have been showcased. There is also extra bonus for those with large screens. Hope you’ll dig the new changes and that you won’t find the backgrounds interfere with readability.

  1. the background graphic goes behind VISUALGUI logo revealing the logo’s thick border to me is a problem. just my personal observation!

  2. I thought I had that covered for IE, which doesn’t render PNG correctly, but I guess not. So I am going back to GIF for now until I can find a solution for displaying PNG on IE. Thanks for pointing it out.

  3. For PNG Opacity problem under MSIE, I remember reading some article on the ALA site. Here it is: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/pngopacity/
    And this is what I picked up through Google: http://koivi.com/ie-png-transparency/
    Look out for more!

  4. I used the PNG Behavior at WebFX, unfortunately it only works with img tag and not with a background image. I wish the site told me that, but the article you’ve pointed to on ALA did. So thanks SadValley.
