I'm looking to skin my web app according to different themes. So I guess I'm looking for some CSS designs? It would be of great help if I could get any links to themes that resemble: Desert/sandstone/Middle East Green/environment/climate change Corporate Plain white background (Mac-ish look) Pastel/funky/marketing EDIT: I need the d...
I've noticed that this color is somehow preferred over pure blue or blue-violet. Vista and Windows 2008 have largely adopted this color. Many dating sites seem to prefer this one over blue or violet. Is it so that this color is associated with ocean water color and provides some kind of relaxation to the site visitors or is it something ...

I am looking to revamp our CRUD web forms and would appreciate any examples of good UI design. We have lots of database tables that have minimal editing needs by the user - Country Codes, Tax codes, Product prices, and so on - and these all currently use a simple format for CRUD, but it was designed by developers and looks very bland, a...
If I wanted to create a web page with content about the size of a post card, how would I go about positioning it on the screen? Horizontally isn't an issue (margins auto); however, centering it vertically is a an issue. What's the best way of centering the container vertically? Javascript? Should I even be trying to center it verti...
I'm a student of webdevelopment and I've got a question about the business (after school, finding a job and such). Now, my college has taught me several things and I've learned several things on my own. We constantly use XHTML 1.1, CSS 2.1, Javascript (mostly formchecking) and PHP, all our code must be W3C compliant (the online validato...
I've been looking at different CSS frameworks. The two major players seem to be 960.gs and Blueprint. My question is simple: what are the pros and cons to each, and which do you recommend? And are there other frameworks that I should consider instead? Putting my question into context, I'm the designer on a site that's similar to StackO...

When pages are printed tables get cut up into 2 halves which makes it difficult for them to read. Is there any code which can make the prints fit into one A4 sheet per page. The other solution is that i make PDF's of each page in...
Fogbugz-on-demand, 37 signals, and PB-Wiki all use sub-domains with custom url's for each group of users to access their login page. So it doesn't even seem possible for a user using those services to login to a generc login (that any user of the service could log into.) At first I thought this was a terrible design flaw, but now I thi...

On a wiki-style website, what can I do to prevent or mitigate write-write conflicts while still allowing the site to run quickly and keeping the site easy to use?

MAJOR UPDATE: I have a PNG fix working on the site. When I remove the PNG fix the red cross and border disapear. What's odd is that the problem only seems to do it with this particular image. There are other Alpha Blended PNG's on the same page that render fine. The image is not broken (you can see it) nor is it a link. But IE6 and 7 ...

I'm wondering what are the benefits of having your top row of 'important' links/buttons on a web page duplicated at the bottom. Traditionally the bottom of forms or pages has been for boring stuff like site maps and privacy information; but; in pages where you scroll down many pages (that wrote funny) it is a pain to have to return to t...
Anyone using colorjack? Someone here on SO mentioned it the other day, so I checked it out. It is a really slick tool, but I am having a hard time figuring out how it is used? http://www.colorjack.com/sphere/ I do all web development using asp.net, and my strength is in back-end programming but I'd love to beef up my design skills, an...
