Note to self: more space invaders. I may have just the board on the way for a bit of that…

It's not the space invaders themselves that offend me (though I was never a fan of that video game), it's the colours - hot pink and bright cyan. Oh how I hate those colours.

That's my pic - some fridge magnets from a friend.
The colours remind me of a T-shirt I got in Japan:

You don't like the 80ties???

Sure I like the 80's - up until 1984 - coincidentally when Miami Vice came out. I curse Miami Vice for ruining colour schemes for nearly a decade.

I have two - that's got me super happy

Enter the 90s where we came to our senses and went to a single colour to streamline everything - faded denim

There was no Amiga before 1984.

Yeah, but the Amiga project started in 1983. I take consolation in that. It's the only thing keeping me sane.

Quick one of me typing on my KBT Pure Pro:

Works pretty nicely. At least they kept the ENJOY YOUR FEELING on the underside for that model!

couldn't resist

wall of cyrillic

Nice images, but the DT logo is illegible on all but the Tux and Mac; which is a bit blurry…

Whenever I do a new header, I have to trial and error my way around the logo, too. It's hard to predict if you're going with light colours.

honestly I just push them here and see what happens

cyrillic looks really good Matt3o

It does. Maybe a bit closer to the keys, so you can align the logo to fit in the shadow between rows.

let's try this

Cheat!

Gah, everyone's going to start doing that if Webwit lets them…

making things easier for everyone

Actually, as we're talking about change, how about retina resolution banners? The header is the one part of the site's layout that looks poor on high dpi screens: while the logo on top of it is tack sharp. Won't be long until most screens are high dpi, and low res graphics like that go from obsolescent to obsolete.

My suggestion is to go straight to quad resolution (double each dimension). Everyone's photo attachments look great on retina as the layout simply provides the native image for the browser to handle in place. That, please!

K70 with Clears that I took a few months ago.

Grrrr when do ISO Kul keyboards come out? :(

Just some experiments, to a theme of NMB…

Testing an image. Have to shoot it again with some other content than the Spy (to avoid two DT logos).

Just testing… given it's not really our photo to use anyway.
Now a shuffle to the right…

Bugger. The image runs out on the left too soon. So I've two options. One is to fake a bit of extra floorspace…
Just a dirty hack! Can do better fakery if it works.

And the other is the easiest cheat of them all.
But flipped keyboard! And a mess of the logo. Gah. I'd be better off staging the picture myself…

I really like the Univac picture. Very classy!

Which one? They still need some work.

Also: fresh off the beam spring.

PictureS! Silly me for replying via mobile...
