Taste Crisis

[binidj]

The Fox and I are having a disagreement. Now usually when I ask him to look at one of my website designs his advice is sound and I end up taking it ... this time however I just can't. So I come to you as discerning members of the human race to see if you can help resolve this issue.

My preferred layout is here but the Fox feels that the lines are too stark (whereas I quite like the contrast).

His preferrred layout is here and whilst I'm quite proud of it as a technical achievement, I really don't like the appearance.

A couple of points to bear in mind:

1. If you use Opera or Safari you won't see much difference between the two ... this is just another instance of those browsers not handling code the way they should but at least this time the site isn't broken because if it!


2. Neither design has been shown to the client yet so it's entirely possible that they'll ask for a complete redesign.

Once I resize the window to see the grading properly, I see where you're going on the second one, but the scroll bar just doesn't work inside a faded text box. I think it has potential, but you'd have to come up with a nicer way of scrolling the text.
