A few changes to the MakeTunes layout

6 March, 2008 - 02:05 — matt

You might have noticed I've been trying out a few adjustments to the layout here at MakeTunes, nothing too major, but a bit of shuffling around of the sidebar sections, and a shiny new logo, ooooh ahhhhh. Hopefully it's all working ok for as many of you as possible.

I'm very aware that for the 3% of people using 800x600 screen resolution, it's still not exactly great to use, but unfortunately I can't do much about that without breaking the site for the other 97% of people here. I really recommend you try at least 1024x768 - it can feel strange turning up your resolution at first, but you'll soon never want to go back - trust me! If you're not sure how to do this, its very simple - just right click on your desktop in Windows, click Properties, then Settings, and then slide the screen resolution slider to 1024x768 (for example), and hit the OK button.

Please feel free to let me know what your thoughts on the layout changes and tweaks are, especially if you've noticed something looks strange or broken! Thanks

Good to hear Ddave! Glad you're liking it - it certainly is a big improvement once you get above 800x600 eh
