I was wondering how long it'd be before the KM redesign went up. As with the LG one, LOVE IT! I don't think it could have been done better. --Greenie205.243.71.71 18:59, 16 April 2008 (CDT)

I'm shooting for around the same time (actually, a few days later) than the LG15 one goes active. (Ren wanted it to sit untouched for a while after the LG15 portal AND the main page had been redesigned. NO WAY JOSE!) I'd say probably at least a month before either goes out, though. - Shiori 07:50, 17 April 2008 (CDT)

Color

I like the new design but I don't know about the purple color. I think red would be better looking for KateModern then the purple. - Bianca23 17:25, 17 April 2008 (CET)

Yeah, I know. I had actually originally done the design in red as I just plain liked the color, but there are major reasons why it's purple now:
  • Red was never an official color of KM, unlike blue is for LG15. It was arbitrarily chosen before the series commenced. (Seriously. The arbitrary color for a potential - and now apparently upcoming - third series was a puke yellow.) Purple is their official theme color, at least for now.
  • Colors were difficult for everything. The lighter colors, as you see being used for the vid templates and content boxes were resulting in a puke-worthy pink color. Darker colors were tried and resulted in link colorization problems. You can see the history of the pages, if you want to see how bad it was...
The nice the about the purple color - especially this purple color - is that it goes well with the red color already in use so we could leave everything alone otherwise, if we wanted to. (I was actually thinking of recoloring the headers, blog template, and video lists, and leaving everything else as-is.)
I am open to suggestions on it, though. If anyone can come up with a banging version of this in red (the images are saved in the history of the current images), and actually overcome the pink/link color problems, I'm all ears. Ren was being less than helpful on it, though. - Shiori 10:35, 17 April 2008 (CDT)
