I believe the latest of the popular ones do. Like IE9, FF, Safari & Chrome. I think even IE8 does, but I'm not sure about ones before that...Quote:

I would love to see us have a custom SRL flash player.. That would be pretty cool IMO.
If you want something that most browsers play, use Theora or WebM. Also, for the website, HTML 5 seems fine. Anyone using a browser that doesn't support HTML 5 doesn't deserve to be here. :)
Please keep Flash out. The same for H.264... Although we could offer video's both in h.264 and WebM / Theora.
Kinda what I thought originally, but everyone on here seemed to really like the idea of flash..Quote:

would it make more sense to make it themed for the forums? IE

Yes. Yes, it would, but I don't know if they were planning on moving the forums soon to a different theme and or new system too? If that was the case it would make sense to do it like it is now, but otherwise what you have posted would look the best... Or so I think.Quote:

Silent SPY's is nice and clean, the watermarks in the background of Frements make it harder to read and is too distracting IMHO

Silent SPY got my vote. Although I think Frement (2) is also nice.
Speaking as a aspiring web dev, please don't flash at all. Use more open standards like h.264 or similar.
Almost any new mobile phone will at least somewhat support HTML5 standards. Apple and Android phones are the best, actually, as everything since v1 (of either) at least support some HTML5 (and it's actually a good amount for any practical use).
Don't go with flash.. HTML5 + jQuery will suffice for whatever.
And Wizzup?, Mango supports HTML5 standards, so that's not a real issue, not that mobile support matters that much, really.. just have a m.villavu.com.
^ This, also, the jQuery can detect if they don't have html 5 capable browser ( IE <= 8.0) and load flash instead, easy.Quote:

(And by IE8 doesn't have support, I just mean it doesn't have *most* support, not that I even know why any HTML5 is needed for anything that villavu is doing, but whatever.)
I don't know if your monitor settings are weird, but I can hardly see the watermark. I honestly can't see how it could ever be distracting, but that's just me I guess.Quote:

That's what I was saying, IE 8 and earlier don't support it, but IE 9 supports most of it.Quote:

Oh, I just re-read it.. my bad, you're right.
(Again, I'm at work and have been for the past 8 hours.. about 7 left until I go home.. brain's exhausted.)
I'm assuming you're talking about the watermark, like he said. The background that has a bunch of words describing SRL in which case it's only noticeable if you look for it. The only way I can see it being annoying is if you put your monitor at an extremely awkward angle, otherwise I completely disagree and can't see how it can possibly be distracting.Quote:

No worries :p. 15 hour day? Ouch.... I feel your pain though (sort of) I've been doing some coding projects for friends of mine to get experience... Seems to eat the entire day and your head feels like an over inflated balloon afterwards.Quote:

This is what I don't understand. How can it be distracting and too busy when it can barely be seen? I've looked at it on 3 different computers just to see if I could see what you see, and it appeared the same on all machines.Quote:

so it sort of draws your attention because your constantly un-purposely focusing on it slightly, enough to make it a distraction

Well I'm not a graphical guy, so I don't really care. They're all nice imo. :)Quote:

I feel like Silent's is missing something and the watermark captures that missing element.
I still don't like the watermark. Just too "verbose" I guess. Bad word for it, but it's just an awful lot in the background.
It might be better if the Watermark was toned down a bit and in not quite as noticeable.

I wouldn't have a problem with it if it didn't go under everything Kind of like the background on these forums is left to the side to make it easier to read the posts, which are displayed on a very light blue/grey. Easier on the eyes IMHO.Quote:

Indeed, that's what the vote is for anyway. :redface:Quote:

Ether way, Frement's designs are a combination of his original and yours. After you released yours I asked him to make a version that combined yours and his, so in my opinion, you both should get credit for the design. His theme, your layout.Quote:
