MySpace styling...limited

Tue May 13, 2008, 2:44 PM
Alright... I got a request to make a myspace layout for a friend, so I registered to be able to test stuff and looked for a good source and found a great one from mikeindustries.com, thanks Mike.

Anyway, when I finished my friends layout I thought I could just do one for myself. Spent like 2h on it, but at least it should look a little bit better than the default skin... hopefully. Only tested in IE 7 and FF 2, FF 3.

Mine: [link]

But yea.. it's limited, and it's hard to make it look any good. Feel free to add me as friend if you got myspace. Perhaps all designers consider myspace as something horrible to stay away from... which I do too, when I see the "styles" of peoples myspace themes... ewww.

I mean really, how hard could it be for the myspace staff with their budget to create a proper css / xhtml style as clean base with styling options? What would it cost? Probably not much at all. Jeez... I mean... using tables...

Wow, no joke, that is the best myspace layout I have ever seen. I am 100% serious.

Where can I find the CSS for that setup? Is it on mikeindustries.com somewhere? I have been looking for something simple and clean like that for a long time, but I gave up a while ago.

My only complaint would be that you should test it in a browser that respects ICCs. On Safari the layout is fine, but main image with the about me on it is in a different colour space to the rest of the layout by the looks of things.
That said, it is a stunning bit of work with the awful way that myspace is set up.

Looks awesome!! I've played with that bit of CSS before, but never came up with anything as creative. The header really nails it. Great job!

So pardon the wild crazy thing I just said-
I'm just not the same since there's rain in my head.
