Re: website facelift

I implemented some things that Ryan mentionned, such as the "latest
release" on the home page (I actually wondered if I would put it there
when I first did the design, then I thought maybe not, so if you want
it, no problem ;)

The design is constantly updated as I work on it, so you *might*
experience some weird things sometimes.

The search bar clears itself when focused, I don't know if you guys
like that idea or if I should be more "traditional" ?

For the screenshots gallery, I might have something that could
interest you guys, you would have to modify it slightly though. Take a
look at http://nekohayo.nanokron.info the main page is an
automagically generated gallery. It checks for images in specified
folders and creates a thumbnail if there isn't one already. The only
thing you would need to change, I think, would be to make it size the
whole image, without cropping (mine takes only a portion of the image
and crops that).

The colors scheme definitely needs improving, so I'm on IRC and I'm
changing things ...
