New Website Design!

June 27th, 2010

Well, without stating the obvious the CyanogenMod website has been completely re-designed with a custom theme.

The theme now blends in more in line with our Forum and soon to follow also the Wiki.

I’m now working on the integration and other features between the CM Web portfolio. These are taking longer to develop and may take a bit more time before the implementation is fully in place.

Until then, enjoy your new CyanogenMod website!

    Try changing the 1px black outlines/borders all around–a medium shade of grey would make things a little less claustrophobic and more in line with the forums. Nice job! :D

  • Thecow

    Hmm, sorry to say this, but i really dont like it. I think the old theme was nicer and the twitter column was more readable… Does it have to be like this? or is this a beta phase :)

  • vinny0000

    looks great…much better…keep it up SatanR1

  • Stryder

    I agree with Thecow. I’m not a big fan of the new theme either. It’s a bit hard to read since everything feels so cramped.

  • Mayur

    How about a few pixels or so margin or padding between the Twitter posts and recent comments… they are all kind of running together. Otherwise, most excellent.

    If I am remembering correctly didn’t a team make that “old” theme for you guys? I really really liked it, this “new” theme is way to function/boxy for my liking sorry folks.

    Gavatar icons are a plus though if you didn’t have them before :)

  • John

    Why is the ‘follow me’ sidebar in Flash? That’s really silly/annoying… is not good enough for you?

  • John

    agh I meant to type lessthan a greaterthan lessthan img greaterthan, not sure how to do that in a comment.

    I agree the ‘Follow Me’ icon is annoying now, I thought I had removed it. I will remove this later today!

    As for the text in each box, I also agree it’s a little cramped up and needs a margin / padding. I will also do this later today. It’s still a new design guys / girls don’t forget so all of these teething problems will iron out :)

    +1 to the old theme

    Hi cyano. Great job in the forum, website and most importantly of all THE ROMS !!!!!! I had been a fan of your roms since version 1.5 till now, the 2.1 !!! Hope froyo is next bud. The website is nice but it seems like the headers where the links reside such as download links .etc seem to be hard to see. Maybe can change the font colours for better contrast. Other than that everything is rocking Kewl and you are the kewlest !! Keep up the work !!

    Love the new look! Cyanogen and Team Douche own the world!!!

  • Andy

    Love the new design, looks MUCH better than the old one! Go Cyanogen!

  • Brandonb

    Nice design but it is a bit cramped… at least on my widescreen display it is. Keep up the great work on CM. Looking forward to CM6.

    The old one was better but I can understand you want continuity. I agree with other commenters – The black borders are very harsh and the right hand column needs some tweaking for readability. Other than that its perfectly functional.

  • nandex

    Looks amazing!!!!

    Congratulations!!!

    Border colours have been toned down ……… :)

    Hi,

    the new theme looks nice, but the forum is linked false, it is http://www.cyanogenmod.de/forum not forums

    greets

  • Pirx

    Good look! Links are a bit hard to recognize, perhaps it would be nice if there is some visual clue to what is a link and what is normal text – i.e. links in different color or some dotted underline or something. Otherwise – good work!

    I couldn’t get my fourm login/password to work so I’m just going to ask here… I have installed CM 5.0.8… I have had CM since the G1 came out. Before the Google copyright debackle… anyway… I’m pretty familure with rooting/wiping/flashing…. I have a moto Droid now and have had the USB tethering working before…. I had CM 7.x with bikits 7 slot 1.1Ghz working with USB tether… now I’m on CM 5.0.8 I’ve gotten tether to work on the stock kernal but not with bekits 7 slot or 5 slot 1.1Ghz and 1.0Ghz… and for some reason all of P3Droids puts me in the Moto symbol boot loop… I’ve wiped and tried 4 of bekits kernals and every time before flashing bekit USB tether works, after flashing bekit, no workie!…. help???

    New Site Design Looks Great…. Nice job!

    The site looks good and the service you bring to the community is great. In light of that, I, for one, would be perfectly happy if adverts were placed on this site in a tasteful manner. Nothing wrong with earning a coin from traffic.

  • Simon

    Nice looking site,
    Though the tweet feed could use different colour fonts for links and users.

  • moosc

    I can not log in. I want my screen name not a new one. I requested. My password never got one. Can some one help me please.

  • Razior

    Looks nice but its too wide – I have a horizontal scroll bar. No I won’t maximize my screen you don’t get to have all my screen realestate – and you don’t need it. Here’s a question, why are newspaper and magazine articles multi-column and very narrow? Answer: because publishers found they are *easier to read*! Remove whatever nonsense forces the width of your pages to be so huge: design for 800×600 and make it usable.

  • vitalogy

    looks much better than the old one

  • Inifekt

    The mobile website is utterly amazing. I love it l
    It’s everything a mobile website should be.

  • solca

    Finally something readable, good work SatanR1 !
