After a little reworking I've come up with
http://ehpg.net/~gavinr/pgsql/template2.html
I intend to do graphical tabs and what not, if we continue down the road
of developing this concept for the site. I'd like to get some sort of
consensus of the value of continuing to develop this design direction
vrs dropping it to move in another direction. I'm leaving for a
vacation Amsterdam on Monday and will be gone for 2 weeks. Because of
my current work schedule, I won't be able to do much more until after I
get back.

I'd go with a narrower right menu, for a start ... seems to take up an
awful lot of real estate as it is now ...
I like the 'watermarked logo', but think it should be more consistent ...
the 'dark top' throws things off, IMHO ...

I sort of liked the dark drop. It gave the appearance of a translucent
sheet under the text.

What screen res are you viewing it in? is at best 300 pixels wide. We
can easily make it narrower by shrinking the padding, again this was a
termorary one to see if the general design was good enough to justify
more work on it.

it's worth a shot, I'll play with that when I'm next able.

no clue, how do I tell? :) I'm running off a laptop at home right now, I
believe at 1024x768 ...

Hi Gavin,
That looks nicer to me just having Slonik next to the text at the top.
On IE though I'm seeing some nasty wrapping of the menu bar at my normal
browser width (a touch over 800).
I'm not convinced I like the colours if I'm honest - it seems a little
bland to me (though I'm not sure that's the right word).
Regards, Dave
