I think the layout is just about set for MM. The Starscape theme lets you do a lot of customization in a user-friendly UI, and I am satisfied with the look. I also added a favicon (larger, cleaner version on the left), although it’s not really that amazing.

I wanted to do something that would have a mosaic theme, but there was no way to make something like that look good on a 16×16 image. Usually one or two letters and a single bold color work the best, unless you actually have some kind of a mascot. The first version was just a black M that took up most of the space with a single vertical line of red going down the right side, but it looked odd. From there, I just turned it into a white M on a red background, and took the line idea to extend the right part of the M a little further.

hmm, very nice design :3 My only complaint (and this is probably my fault for still having a 1024×768 monitor) is that I only see half of that Toradora character…

See? (errr, just ignore the Mario themed Firefox… and the doodles I drew there… just remeber that the guy will never know what those round objects are… Its not like I always prt scrn ur pages and doodle on them or anything! *hmph*…

I know what you mean, as my netbook is only 1024×600 or something silly. Minori is just in the background so it’s like an easter egg if you have a widescreen monitor, but it won’t mess up the layout if you have a *ahem* gimped monitor. At least you can see the tip of her right boob.

Interesting Firefox theme, btw.

G-G-G-G-G-G-GIMPED?!?!?! HOW DARE YOU-YOU-YOU… BIG BULLY!!! I’ll have you know that my monitor is pink, with a purple ribbon on it, that makes it PIMPED!!!

At least you can see the tip of her right boob.

*sigh* Oh Niztibak! Its always been about the T&As with you, hasn’t it? Well, I’ll have you know that this is NOT what I was looking out for… its just her smile… Theres just something about her that makes me wish someone like her existed… I think the closest thing to her was Noe… AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM!!! They just… need to be loved! :(

Sure, check out these bear emoticons. I wish there were more options for emoticons, so this will have to do for now.

It’s cause I set it to only nest three layers deep. This is one of the reasons SS!AB doesn’t have threaded comments yet. They are a little confusing.
