Title: New Server Design & Features
Post by: landbeforetimelover on May 15, 2009, 01:23:37 AM

Pretty much what the poll says.  I've put a lot of work into this, but I want to know you guys' honest opinion.  After all, the server is made to serve its users. :)

Check Out The New Server Design (http://www.lbtserver.2myip.net)

I still have some things to add.  For example...a user can't select and delete files anymore.  I have to add that feature.  To be honest, I don't know how.  I'll figure it out though. :lol

This I like!  It definitely looks pretty nice.  Not to mention my customers will be enjoying those preview tabs you've given the .mp3 files I've got. :)

It's better then the old one, that's for sure. :D

Me likey. Just for the help of comparing, could you put the older one up too in a screenshot or something? :)

Well....I can't without completely taking the server offline.  I don't have just a screenshot of the old system.  I'd have to put the old system back up, which would probably take several hours of downtime. <_<

Okay, no worries. Maybe someone else does. I thought it might be easier than just seeing one of the designs. Was the previous one with the red borders?

Ummmm...it's been quite awhile.  Yeah, I think that was the one though.  Just a simple table with a large image on the right side?

Dark colors are good for my eyes.  Is it possible I can get a folder put on there?  I may use it in good time.

I still have more work to do.  You might have noticed that the icons are much too big and have white all around them (except for the folder icon).  I was originally going to make this a white template, but it hurt my eyes too much so I decided to go black.  Because of this, I didn't make the icons have transparency.  I've got a lot of work to do.  I've got to totally re-do 38 icons.  I'll let y'all know when I'm finished.

Well, they're all up now.  But I am a bit disappointed in them.  Perhaps I'll make the boxes for them to be in a bit larger so they can go back to their original 64x64 sizes. :(

EDIT:  Done.  They're all at 64x64 now and I'm loving it! :D Perhaps I should make them larger?
