Site theme changed!

I finally changed the site's theme to something much nicer on the eyes. :) With this, the blog theme changed too, as I said it would.

Here's what's new:

Website

  • Header and sidebar have new color, and sidebar merges into background
  • Backgrounds of main content are much dimmer
  • Headers are now the color that the background used to be
  • Links become bold and change to the color that the background used to be when rolled over
  • Text is black instead of white
That's pretty much it!

Blog

  • Background very similar to background of BLOG section on homepage
  • New header look
  • Different font (Times)
  • Border surrounding sidebar widgets, and below each post
  • Green background on the thing at the bottom of each post (I can't think of a better word for it :P) (Is the green annoying/hurtful?)
How is the new look?

Blog theme changed

This is related to the complaining about colors post. I got a report that the old background for the blog could cause headaches, and it was a little annoying. In case you didn't know, the background was this:
[nice blog on annoying background]
I chose a red background now, similar to the red in the BLOG section on the TypeINT homepage. The other pages are also themed to go with the homepage coloring, though when that changes, the rest will too.

TypeR is still buggy, but usable

While working on the next version of TypeR, I fixed some bugs that were in the old version. One was so easy to fix, but such a stopper. That was that text couldn't be copied by using Ctrl+C, the shortcut. (I never got any testing on Macs, so I don't know if Cmd+C worked or not.) Instead, it would add the character shown, usually ב. I just added my 1-line (67 character, which is really very little) bug fix.
Click "TypeR" from any page on the site to use it.
Now, happy typing!

Protesting SOPA.

This site is protesting SOPA too! Instead of the [logo goes here] text in the spot where the logo will be (when I design it*), it says [logo would be here, but it's been taken down by SOPA.] Protest SOPA yourself!

*Anybody want to design me a logo? If you have, email me the file. :)

Complaining about colors?

After adding the content, I got some complaints about the color scheme, saying it was too harsh, I should add more white space.
So I created a new scheme, and you can try it out at beta.typeint.com. The whole thing has been brightened. I also created a temporary page about the new scheme.
Is the brighter version better?

Site has been filled up!

Until now, the content of TypeINT.com was a placeholder page, saying that the website is under construction. Not anymore! True content has been added! It now has the following pages: a homepage, about, and products list. Contact, donate, and language list, and ad pages will be coming sometime this week.
Enjoy!

TypeINT is released!

The TypeR program has been released in a beta! Currently, the only character set supported is Hebrew, but more will come shortly. The rest of the website will be in beta mode for the next few weeks.
The TypeR program is a bit buggy, but most of the bugs will be fixed in an update. This update will also add a new feature or two.

Happy typing!
