If you got the ads blocked, it's better now than it was before. With blocked ads you had to refresh the page to see the image if someone linked you to one using a thumbnail pic. Now it works better. But I won't switch from Photobucket.

I've updated my lists now. Removed those fugly borders, changed design on the top bar and added a background image (repeating tiles).

I've read a lot more manga than I've watched anime, btw.

V3gas: It's spartan, which is cool. The only thing I can really comment on is the header font, which is awesome. The color seems spot on as well.

Your list gave me an idea for a fabulous list; I'm probably never doing it though.

Looks fantastic. I like how you spaced the text. Although it looked fine with the borders, the current design you have looks really sleek. (As a side note, I'm happy that you're re-watching Akagi. :-D)

Any suggestions in my current list?

Hm, I love it, the headers are really nice and the background image fits really well. Also nice opacity level.
But; there's one thing I find a bit annoying; that the links change both size and color and that the letters change from capitalized to lowercase when you hover the links. I'd say, maybe remove one of those hover effects. But of course, that's just my opinion.

not sure if people pay attention to the contest area on this forum but there is a contest running for the best anime and mangalists.
Somehow there aren't much nominations yet while it's already running for 10 days...

Ofcourse you're all welcome to nominate the list you guys like, including your own list if you're really love it.

I tried to go for simplicity, clarity and consistency - I might have strayed a bit from that agenda, but still I'm somewhat happy with the result. Nothing really special, but it's my first list design anyway so be gentle. :)

The texts (namely anime titles) were smaller in the first version, but Opera and Chrome make small-caps text look pretty bad if the font's too small. :/ I just "had" to use it no matter what so a larger font size it is...

The thing that baffles me the most is the right portion. Firstly, there's so much white space between the list and the picture especially at higher resolutions that it starts to be a little annoying (to me). I tried positioning the image right next to the list, but it seemed even more awkward. Still I feel that it "needs" the pic there. So ehh does it bother anyone else but me?

Secondly the image itself. Namely the text part... it's so lame. :) The style of the handwriting is intentional though, but ugh. Well maybe I'll figure out something better in the future.

Aaand thirdly the images used all have white backgrounds instead of transparent ones, but that's just me being lazy...

I probably can't leave the list alone any time soon so I'll be tweaking it all the time, but if there's some apparent flaw or annoyance in the list, please say so. I'll even gratefully accept comments like "the list looks like shit" if there's some more words to accompany the statement. After all the whole design tweaking is meant to be eye candy for the people accidentally stumbling upon the list, so if the "audience" doesn't like it, I want to change it to please as many people as possible.

Oh, and thanks to at least Pumpernikkeli for the tip on how to change the control panel style without MAL removing it from the sheet, and Monsieur Spawwvy for making such beautiful lists that just made me want to start designing one myself. :)

(Great, another short post... o_o)

I already cleared the cache when I noticed I'm not seeing any BL. No luck.

I tried 3 different browsers now, I get the blue beach list with the girls in every one of them. Maybe the server delay is messing things up. I'll try again later.

Lookin' nice. :) The thing that bothers me though is that is it really necessary to have a 1.2 meg png background? A jpg with decent quality would take a tad under 200 kilos and you won't notice the artefacts unless you use a magnifying glass (even a "max" quality one would be half the size and without practically any difference to the bare eye). Combined with the ~1 meg worth of other pics (which of course have to be png's for transparency) it's quite a hefty amount to download while checking out your list.

@ Siva, V3gas:
Thanks! I dunno about the art part (edit: apart from the source material), but it feels good to know people like it :)

That's not a reason to use "heavy" images, when you wouldn't notice the difference if you downgraded the quality.

Hey guys, I just made my first CSS-list! (click here) It might look wierd on computers with screens bigger than 1024x768, don't really know for sure though

It's not very special nor great-looking, but I'm very happy that I managed to create it, I usually have so much trouble with CSS.

Get faster internet or learn how to use tabs?

I suppose saving it to a 100% quality JPEG wouldn't be too bad.

PNGs are sexy though.

I have a fast connection and know how to use tabs, so I'm not complaining. It's just that the list is probably for random visitors, and some of them might have a slow connection. And when there isn't a notable difference between the version with a small(er) file size and the original, I'd recommend him to use the smaller one.
But yeah, I guess people with a slow connection should know how to use tabs, too.

And yeah, PNGs are sexy.

Alright, I've replaced my old animelist design with a new one. I decided to go for the simplistic clear and bright look this time. The list features custom titles for the different categories (watching, completed etc.). I couldn't image making myself a design without those, as I feel that they add their own unique flavor to the mix.

Optimally viewed at 1920x1200 or 1920x1080, but as usual, anything reasonably smaller will do as well.

I wanted to use png for my headers because there is alot of transparency in them which shows up better using png. Though I did use png for the background image; as kuroshiroi pointed out:

kuroshiroi said:

I like to use better quality images (like png) because you get a better picture than a jpg image even at 100%.

@Spawwvy
Great list....I like how your quotes in your headers match up with the images in your headers. Nice!

@ kuroshiroi, DarkDemonz, spineslayer
Thank you, everyone. Seems like I accomplished my goals with this design then (see below).

@ DarkDemonz
Yes, that was me. I have to admit that my previous list was more of what could be considered as my signature style (in art generally) and what I usually prefer personally. In short and exaggerated: I tend to tinker endlessly with frivolous details. That's why I decided to do something different for once. I can tell you that my next design will most probably be more in line with the Haibane Renmei one – and filled with even more detail – now that I have learned a few more CSS tricks and improved my skills with the GIMP.

@Pim - Fist, I want to point out that your link is wrong (it ends with pim-chan instead of just pim) so you might want to fix that.

The list looks great! I love, love love the wallpaper, and how it serves as both a bright image beside the list and a dimer picture behind it. The colors are great -- I love pink in any case, but I like that you used it in a way that wasn't too in-your-face girly. And everything looks like one complete work without being too matchy-matchy, which is something I have a lot of trouble with.

The only thing I would think about changing is the font of the links; I think it's a bit too powerful in contrast to the more delicate font in the headers.

Awesome work! (By the way, I don't think you have anything to worry about with other resolutions. At the very least, mine is 1280 x 800 [huge difference, I know :p], but it looks compatible with any resolution to me.)

oh, these little earthquakes

Nicely put together. The only things I would change is making the list text more visible. When it scrolls up into the tree, it's very hard to see the text because the color blends into the tree. To go with the flow of the list. I would put a semi-transparent backgrounds behind the Grand totals and copyright also.

Updated my Anime List. Had to hijack #grand_totals for the main header, hence the reason it being on the top. Saka's list especially helped me with the coding. Another div to hold that image would've been great. The list must be viewed either in its default state or using show all link, because otherwise you'll get a huge empty space instead of grand totals. Best viewed in 1680x1050 or bigger.

Things to do:
-Custom cursor
-Fix the nuımbers of the anime, they're sitting right on the stripes.
-Fix 'more' button, 'tis broken for the same reason as the one above. There was a way to modify it IIRC, remind me.
-Give a background to Currently Watching, On-Hold, etc. links.

I actually think the reason the list actually fits inside the stripes is pure coincidence. Whatever.
