I responded to this question in the coding and designs board under graphic design discussion, take a look at my thoughts there and see if it helps.

Great thanks! okay now could people take another look at it and tell me what they think? I think the boards need to be a different color now perhaps.

Nice choice with the white house....now you can work on the rest....you might notice though that the pic doesn't quite reach the end of the screen at least it doesn't on my 20 inch screen, just to let you know.

I actually decided to go with another background, I think this one fits a bit better. What do you think?
Also, is there a way to "spice" up the boarders/lines around my boards? It seems a little boring and doesn't really fit the background. Thanks!

wOW quite a drastic change from modern to historical. It might be a bit harder to come up with some good board colors now but I would start with making your banner and boarders, categories etc... smaller as in not as wide because they take up so much of the page you can't hardly see your background. I think then if it were me I might go with black and white writing....cause like I said it's going to be pretty hard to stay in your theme there with the background in black and white.

It seems a little boring and doesn't really fit the background. Thanks! You may want to reconsider that background, as black and white words on black and white words is very difficult to read. If you have coding requests, just to keep from unnecessarily bumping your thread with all these responses, go ahead and make a thread in [codesupport]. Be specific about what you would like to happen with the borders, and we can see if I can make something happen for you.

Try this code in your main header, you can change the color code to suit your tastes as well as the depth. This code adds dimension and a border color.
<style type="text/css"> <!-- td {border: 5 outset; border-color: #CCCCCC;} --> </style>

Yes you're on your way....looking much better are you still going to put the little capitol pictures along side of your board title bars?

I'd suggest making your menu buttons plain links instead; the default buttons hardly ever look right on forums. That's not really important, though. I like how professional the site looks; it really is a breath of fresh air from some crazy, blinding sites I've seen recently.

Personally I liked it with the White House buttons but that's just my opinion to me it looks better than having those default buttons
