New Layout 2

So I was messing around, thought maybe a lighter tone, and a new banner would be nice for the forum - tell me what you guys think ^^

text is kinda hard to see, but its a complete contrast of this layout, I like it.

I like it. It's the complete opposite of the current layout but i think it works really well with that banner.

Looks good, but the contrast has to be stronger. The text is really hard to read.

what if I made the main text black?

'would probably break the otherwise soft theme, I think. Maybe a dark shade in the blue<->purple range?

I've got no problem reading the text as is. Nice way to describe it Nanashi it is a soft theme.

take a look at it now and see if I should lighten the font to a darker but not black color.

"lighten the font to a darker but not black color" huh? how do you lighten something to make it darker lol JK.

I think it looks even better now, it sort of blends in.

I think it looks good like that, and you know what I meant >.< kinda.

Yeah it looks good like that. I THINK know what you meant lol.

Yup, looks good now.

I think I'll change it out tomorrow some time then ^^

I like the new layout. Considering where the anime is right now with Allen learning he's the pianist and all, I think the layout fits perfectly. The writing is unique and very D.Gray-Manish, lol. I like it!

holy cow, earl your avatar is really amusing.

LoL, i know, it is isnt it!

the only thing i dislike is the icons, the contrast between them aswell as the buttons are a bit hard for me to see without my glasses -_-.

which icons and buttons?

I like it. Very smexy.
