The new 'journals' icon is not properly spaced

[Oeditpus Rex]

in Firefox.

There's more space between "Journals" and "Lobby" than between "Journals" and "MyPosts." I believe it to be perhaps as much as three points, i.e. 1/24 of an inch.

Gaaa! I just noticed the same thing with the "Inbox" icon!

I cannot abide such sloppy design and am therefore leaving DU. :grr:

1. ROFL

I noticed it too, but I ain't going with ya........

2. Actually it is properly spaced, the spacing centers the image

not the text. "Lobby" is a shorter word than "MyPosts," so naturally it won't extend as far. But the image is centered perfectly. :)

5. Well, can you at least replace the damn light bulb!

7. While we're on the subject,

why is the clock set at four o'clock?

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. Yeah, yeah

See, if it were me, working in QuarkXPress, I'd ungroup the text and image boxes, shift "Journals" a bit to the left, then re-group it.

But that's me. I'm so anal about stuff like that I once spent like two hours at the last newspaper to employ me getting everything in the "winning lottery numbers" graphic lined up perfectly. And how many people noticed? Maybe two or three. :crazy:

3. It's also rather ghostly, don't you think?

I see dead journals......

8. Works fine in Mozilla. Old software is SO reliable!

I'm at least three versions behind the newest one in EVERY applications I use. And, hey, guess what? No surprises! I get to start my computer in the morning, work on it all day, and everything just, well, works. And doesn't crash.

9. Hey Rex

Get over it.

Besides, I'd miss you if you left. Please don't go!

[Oeditpus Rex]

15. Eh, I guess I'll stay

But I ain't gettin' over it. If I did, I'd have to surrender my Design Nazi card.

And it looks so cool next to my Grammar Nazi, Spelling Nazi and Punctuation Nazi cards.

Language, language, über alles...

10. Man, that's even worse than my complaint about the kerning in CIv4

The text in the logo on the title screen for Civ 4 makes my eyes cross.

11. I am calling your bluff, my dear Oditpus Rex!

You're not leaving any more than I am!

So There!

We'd miss you, if you did, anyhow......:loveya: :pals:
