If Wincustomize had a new look

If Wincustomize had a new look...
would use 2 columns instead of 3?
would use more graphics?
metal style?
only html coding, no images?

I definitely prefer the 3 columns. I run in 1600x1200 so that I can have the most info possible on screen, and the 3 column system works well for that. Didn't you already implement something that decides between 2 and 3 columns based on your resolution?

Do something about the table overkill? (fat chance of that happening)
Let me think, perhaps collapable boxes and such. Or a light version with minimal menu's and graphics.

I like having 3 columns, but it seems like the page is forced wider than it needs to be. It looks like all the content would fit at 800x600 if the logo and search bar didn't force a horizontal scrollbar. I run this PC at 1024x768, but I don't like to maximize my browser all the time. For the most part, I like the basic layout. I find this site easier to navigate than other skin sites.

Other than full cross-browser compatibility (y'know, for the three or four of us who use Mozilla), it's just fine as-is.

running at 800*600, with a non full screen IE window, the box for typing message board posts is:
this wide!
the two column layout for lower resolutions was nice, but it didnt last long.
i tend to agree with crea that a "light" version would be useful for those of us who dont want to use up a load of screen space with menus.
another thing that would be nice is a link back to the front page, so i can go and check the news without having to edit the url i am pointing at manually (so i am lazy)

TasT wishes for more skins; not for a design overhaul.
TasT likes the way the site is currently laid out..
Though if you did it Alex I'm sure it would turn up aces!

I really like the site as it is too! The things that I would change are:
1. When I go to "My Skins", I have so many uploads that the page takes about 15 minutes to load. This is most annoying when you just want to check your skin stats. Could our skin stats be on the opening page like it was at the old Skinz.org?
2. Comments opening in a seperate window is also not a good thing. On my slow connection this little window takes an age to load. Could comments and ratings be on the same page as all the other skin details?
3. Could Craeonics be made to stay in the basement for longer periods? I think that too much light is sending him over the edge!
I believe that apart from the things I mentioned, the site is GREAT! So much more accessible than the other skin sites.

i am not sure about point 3.
while it is true sunlight can drive you mad, if crae spends more time sleeping in the basement i may confuse him for a cat bed again.
given the problems that ensued last time, i may need to lay down stocks of marmite

I second Boxxi on points 1 and 2; Especially point 1 main page stats with a scrollable list would be awesome. Also I would make it a option that must be turned on in the account options instead of default, so that those with no uploads wouldn't see it or make it show up only if you have uploads....
As far as Cra goes can't we just set him up a puterf and connection in the basement so he doesn't have to leave?
