Aodhan Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Hey all, still in the process of putting my store together, and I have a basic color scheme/setup in place. I'd like to get your opinions of it. Before you all go off on it, heres a list of things I still have to do: 1) Change the regular text and headings from black/default. Text will most likely be a light grey variant. 2) Change the default icons to whatever is appropriate for the category. 3) Change the buttons to reflect the color scheme. I'm sure there are quite a few other tweaks I will come across as I go, but that's the basic stuff. Again, this is mostly a color scheme/layout check so I have time to tweak before I get down to the small stuff. ShadowBox Sports Thanks!

eric_jbdotcom Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 the red and yellow are not easy on the eyes, especially on such a dark ugly bg color. i say you switch the bg color to white, and make the buttons not transparent but have a white bg so they blend in together nicely. hmm try lightening the title. and the stock icons, they could go too, dont really help much. other than that its pretty good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GamerFix Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Ya, That bg color is not very pleasing on the eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 I think you have to finish those other changes you mentioned before anyone can give you an honest opinion. Because the elements you haven't changed don't work with your colour scheme it is putting people of your background etc. The banner looks really good. The colour (yellow) and font of the product menu looks rubbish against the background. Try something like... I mock things up in Fireworks to see how they look before changing anything in PHP, easier to see how things will look and saves you time and effort. Try to use your orange/yellow/red as accent colours so that they do not dominate/detract from your main theme but compliment it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aodhan Posted January 9, 2004 Author Share Posted January 9, 2004 Mike- How did you get the links in the main page to override the A: setting in the stylesheet and appear in a different color? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 9, 2004 Share Posted January 9, 2004 Hi John, What I created there was just a mock up, created in Macromedia Fireworks and it is purely an image not a web page. But you would just amend the stylesheet if you want to change the hyperlink colour, or if you want different colours for different hyperlinks you will need to create your own class in the stylesheet and apply it to the text in stylesheet .mynewclass{ blah; } then in your html/php <a href="whatever.php" class="mynewclass">My Link Colour</a> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
