Very nice... a lot of effort has obviously been put into this. Good job Asa, and anyone else who may have been involved in the creation of the theme!

Very nice, I tried to do a mock up but I thought the screenshots needed to be widescreen and not have the BBC logo at the bottom so I could'nt manage it.

I kinda saw the bauble coming, I like the homepage slideshow!

A++ Effort.

Out of interest, does anyone else have a problem with TVF and a mismatching colour profile in firefox? The bottom of the background JPG should be the same as the bgcolor however in Firefox its too dark. It appears to be something to do with a mismatched colour profile as flicking between "windows default" and "monitor colour" in photoshop displayed both colours.

Is this a problem with the JPG itself or my setup? I seem to get in on both my PC and netbook so I am presuming the former.

But yes, very nice Smile

Ooh that's very lovely. No signature Meridian festive endcap at the front though. Razz

Love it.

are you using firefox 3 or 3.5?

I am 90% convinced this is the issue. Firefox 3.5 and Safari are the only browsers that (to my knowledge) properly respect colour profiles in JPG and PNG images. Therefore it only shows "properly" in Chrome and IE which don't.

Often it's because someone has clicked "Save As" rather than "Save for Web" in photoshop therefore applying the computer's own profile rather than the sRGB one. At least that's what that website and my two mins experimenting with photoshop suggests Smile

I have the same issue whenever my graphics card updates and Vista decides to revert to the default colour profile for the monitor. I've fixed it by opening Colour Management, adding the sRGB IEC61966-2.1 profile (if its not already there) and setting it as default. In my case it also improved viewing images in Photo Gallery, which had a slight blue tint before.

can we keep the "X new PM(s)" on the menu bar, I don't like the single Envelope.

It's always been a big envelope except on the homepage. Personally I prefer the envelope as you actually notice the thing.

Strange - on Firefox 3.5 on my desktop and Firefox 3 on my netbook, it displays correctly!
