Quoting: KristianDoes the fact that Apsyr Media is involved in the Linux(and Mac OSX) ports of the new Civ game mean that we will have to select platform on Steam and that it won't support Steamplay?

No, they did the Civ ports last time and Borderlands, all Steam Play.

Only issue is we may see delays with patches and DLC.

Quoting: SilviuYeah, well, this is the company that fired most of their Linux kernel devs in 2012. I won't take seriously anything they *say* until I see some solid stuff.

For all the talk about Mantle being open and yadda yadda, we have yet to see specifications.

With any luck, Mantle'll end up being killed before too long.

You mean the text-area for where you type comments? It's being worked on :)

By the way, there's no feedback when I click the "Quote". I was hoping for an automated scroll down to the text-area. And I see it's an <\a> tag, but since it has no href it doesn't change the cursor in FF. Here's a link on how to change the pointer :P

I have made it to change the mouse pointer when using the quote link now. Will also look into some sort of on-screen feedback to tell you it has quoted or something...

Now your logo seems quite pixelated, you might want to make bigger one and scale it down.

*I'm talking about the GamingOnLinux banner*

Also the search box. You should remove all white and change it to something like #EEE.

Hi! I love to know about the newest games in the linux environment. Thank you for all the great articles.

I like it, though I hate that whole 'excessive whitespace' thing. I'm sure there are people out there that do like that, but I don't. It reminds me of a mobile app. Maybe that's your intention, to make it easier for mobile users to browse the site. I'll probably crop it down with greasemonkey anyways.

i think its the first time i like changes :)
darker backround is much more pleasing for my eyes than white, since i use black themes on my desktop as well.. and when something completly white suddenly starting to shine it just kills the eyes.

top bar needs some size adjustments though..a little too big and takes precious screen space.


great work Liam!

I am too lazy to log in. :D The new design is much better for reading in dark. Maybe if it auto changed depending on system time.

Quoting: GuestDigging the new design. Even better is that I like being able to switch (I'll stick with the darker, but I just like that the option is there).

I will always try to make sure that with new features where it makes sense there will be an option for the one before.

Little adjustments to come of course like the comment box style to match.

Love dark theme, but the comment box, is not well with this new look

Links are not contrasted enough from the other text in articles. On my desktop they are underlined during moouseover but on most of my touchscreen devices leaving guessing where the links are in articles. The dark theme is going to save on battery use a bit though and not blind me first thing in the morning.

Quoting: liamdaweThat's not the sole reason though, it will soon have things like a trailer included inside, or screen-shots. It's still a W.I.P.

That would be nice. Would get rid of some of the space.

Before I wrote you post, first thing what came to my mind: f*ck what happen to my browser... reload didnt't help at all :) well I totally don't like the new theme. I think the colored stuff don't match to the dark theme. I vote for the white one ...much much better.

Let's hope the developers that are waiting for the steam boxes to release linux versions of their games are not going to let their games gather dust until the end of the year...

I freaking loved EVERYTHING about the new design. REALLY.
Nice work, Liam and the others involved :D

Quoting: Half-Shot

Quoting: WaldirI hope they don't forget that in order for games to be playable from the couch developers also have to adapt their games to work with larger fonts.

You know, that's one thing I have a problem with too. It's all very well having high resolution graphics but I have a slight shortsightedness to my eyes so its not exactly great squinting at the screen to read peoples names, kills or something. Heres hoping valve will fix that, even with the absence of the touch screen which might have fixed it.

Although I agree it needs to be solved somehow (and likely will rely on each individual game's devs implementing an option), I don't have as much of an issue with it if it's games like that where the reading is not exactly critical.. Try playing something like Crusader Kings 2 on a TV, though. I tried it. Once. :(

Quoting: adolsonI like this better.

Can you fix the Sales page? If I click the name of a game, it should just take me to the page to buy it, not pop up another box with the exact same info I'm already looking at on the page. For external links in, such as from the RSS feed, I get it - you want it to pop up that box, and that's fine. But if I'm on the sales page already... Why?

We need advert revenue and having the sales pop-up with one inside with all the information for that sale is a way to get it, if you don't see the advert then...you are using ad-block I imagine ;)

That's not the sole reason though, it will soon have things like a trailer included inside, or screen-shots. It's still a W.I.P.

I didn't ask for a dark theme but I'm happy you added it !

I would make the background of the articles a little lighter though, the contrast with the text is a bit too much with my perfectly calibrated screen and it hurts my tired eyes.

Yeah -- also, the log in fields don't have any borders which looks strange.

Added a border to them now for the dark theme.
