I like it.
🙂
The only thing I could live without is the ‘sudden-ness’ of the hover transition. Perhaps muting the colors until they are hovered over? Or even making the active panel keep it’s color?
Good work though, very cool.
Since you asked: it’s a bit too “cool” for my taste and kind of reminds me of a variant of the old “mystery meat” navigation technique. The main thing I object to is the fact that I have to hover over the various blocks to be able to read anything because it’s so dark and lacking in contrast.
@pizdin_dim:
you’re not alone in that thought. im considering changing the hover technique to only affect the vertical edge bars. that way it’s all still visible when you’re not hovering, but still gives a nice little effect. thanks for the input!
problem solved. now, thanks to a little javascript, you can choose from three color schemes. the default is still hover, because i like it, but you can now change to full color and grayscale. whatcha think now?
