There’s a new layout, this time featuring Princess Azula from Avatar: The Last Airbender. I did my best to make it as cross browser and resolution compatible as possible, but some things (site title, navigation, and MyAnimeList.net banner) were impossible for me to align correctly for everyone. If this bothers you you can click the 1366×768 link in the welcome text to view this as close to the way the layout is supposed to look as possible without actually using 1366×768. This layout was a nightmare to code, far more than they usually are. I’m not even going to think about how long I spent on the coding. I’ve officially given up on trying to fix it anymore. The layout itself I spent more than 24 hours, almost straight, designing. It looks simple, but it’s the most complicated layout I’ve ever made. It took about 30 layers to make the background of the image look the way it does, then Azula had to be removed from her original background which added a couple more layers to it, then the lightning layers. I couldn’t make the lightning as bright as I wanted so I made the title and navigation glow in an electric blue color to make up for it. Unfortunately that’s why the layout doesn’t align properly for everyone, because to get the header stuff in place I had to position them absolutely. Basically that means I had to define exactly what position I wanted them in, which makes it only align right for people using resolutions the same as mine, 1366×768. What the correct positions are vary between resolutions and browser sizes. I’m lucky I managed to make the content and sidebar align, and that’s only because I removed the header and made it a background image instead, then made a new transparent header. There’s probably a better way to do this, but damned if I know it. The current coding isn’t ideal, but it’s the best that I can do. Amber has a new layout up as well. At least I managed to get the coding on that one right.
