OKAY, OKAY, HOLD YOUR HORSES!
This is the second, 'are you serious' incident - the first being xoft and bearbin's proposed GitHub move.
To address you guys' concerns:
1. The fade effects can easily be sped up or removed completely.
2. The header can easily be reduced in size by removing the text and reducing the logo, or even make an automatic anchor jump to the content
3. The original logo can be restored (admittedly, converted to base, it is much smaller than the new logo)
4. I didn't use any WordArt...:P You're right on the amateur count - I'm not very experienced with CSS.
5. The navigation bar issues could be fixed by organising everything by plugin name, then a submenu for the options, though this may require C++ support which I assume you will be unwilling to do. I could make everything smaller, or even revert with difficulty to vertical. Surely even with vertical, you will encounter issues with finding something once the list gets large?
6. Please tell me what else.
Are you sure you wouldn't like to give it a chance?
Thanks for the support, I knew you would like it...
1. Remove it completely yes. Fading pages was one of the first effects I added on my http://www.tripod.lycos.com/ site 15 years ago lol
2. There's a bit of text under the logo with a completely different font than the rest of the site. Looks plain wrong.
3. Yes, please keep the original logo. Be it the logo on this forum or the logo that was used in the original template (they resemble each other). Don't go around creating new logos for MCServer. There's also another logo that is displayed on the GitHub page https://github.com/mc-server this is also currently used as the icon for MCServer on Windows.
4. I know you did not use WordArt. It was just an example of how I think the template looks/feels like.
5. I would like to change some parts of how a WebAdmin page is composed. This would allow much more complex templates.
6. The things I pointed out were just some small points. I do not know how to express the other issues I have with the template other than that it does not "feel" right. I am not a website designer, that's why I cannot tell you what is wrong. The original template however has been created by a real web designer. It is minimalistic and sleek in its core. Only the plugin pages suck because I simply butchered them with my own horrible html/css skillz.
How much of a chance am I supposed to give it? I tried it, I looked at it, I don't like it, sorry.
I do think the original template can be improved upon, it's not perfect at all, but IMHO it looks a lot better than this new template.
