The ramblings of ideas. What's next?
0.2.2.2
New Navigation
A few days before the new navigation was released, I took the new colors for a test drive. The blue hues from past Gaian days seemed to please some, but annoyed hell out of others. It evened passed my mind to replace the darker colours currently on BG, but in the end, it started to annoy me also.

Also,the new nav isn't completely CSS, just with a bit of JS. So I tweaked the menu a few times to force the menus to appear instantly on hover.

Colours
Unless you like the darkness, is the darkness of BG making the users "gloomy"? Colours of the site seem a tad too dark.

Macs
There's a problem with BG and the options panel. I'm trying to locate a person to test out some revisions to test if it fixes the problem.
Fixed.

Live Chat
Many people are saying that a live refreshing chat is needed, but is it needed? There is already Chat and the Community Board. Opinions?

New Navigation;;

Could you somehow revert the new Gaia navigation to the old one? Some of us (not me) don't like the new navigation.

Colors;;

I don't think so, but maybe you could give us options to change colors?

Macs;;

In Page 43 ( http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/gaia-guides-and-resources/bettergaia-0-2-2-2-nav-fixed-new-draw-all-more/t.45053993_631/ ) Azeline said she has a Mac, and posted a screenshot of the problem in page 45.

Live Chat;;

:S I don't think it's needed, I think people just don't like to refresh/browse just to see the new posts.

I really like the dark colours and I don't think we need a live chat o.o

hey youre using the journal :3?

new navigation;;i think you should make it transparent like the old one.
it looked nice like that.


colours;;i might just be the only one who would like it to be darker ^^;;
maybe if you added the ability to customize the colours...

live chat;; we dont need live chat.

The current colours of BG make the site look modern. However, I won't mind if you create new themes, or let us create one ourselves.

And no live chat please D: It seemed unnecessary for now. If you do want a Live Chat, give us an option to turn it off?

Also also: Some recolours of the preset backgrounds? I would love to see new colours of Legancy, Four Point and Clean.
