More tweaks
On October 08, 2008 in Miscellaneous
The tweaks to the site continue – this time concentrating on the sidebar.
Sidebar tweaks
· The layout of the gallery navigation has been changed making it a bit more streamlined and visual.
· I have added a new category called Specials to the sidebar to showcase event coverages for example.
· I have implemented a theme switcher for your convenience so you can choose between darklined light or darklined dark. Dark is set as the default theme.
About the theme switcher … I am not sure if this will stay. Overall I think the dark theme is much better than the light version and maintaining two designs means additional work. Thoughts? Opinions? What do you think? Please let me know.
Ok, now back to … what was this site about? … yes, painting miniatures 
*UPDATE*
Yesterdays comment about the new gallery navigation made me rethink things yet again … I liked it, but maybe Gerrie was right and 36 images at 50×50 pixel might have been a little too cluttered. Luckily the display system is very flexible and I can change certain things on the fly – now the sidebar showcases only the 16 latest miniatures, sorted by date posted descending, with the thumbnails being 75×75 pixel. I think the sidebar does actually look more tidy now while still being interesting visually. Thanks Gerrie.
