My page looks awful in Alabaster.smiley - blue
And when I accidentally get kicked into alabaster, I cannot find out how to get back to my homepage, after a posting.
I made my own "online" button, on my GOO page; so I'm not missing out.
If your homepage is not in Guide Ml, there's an online button on the front page.
And why does everyone call Goo "blue"?
When mine is nearer black...smiley - magic
I haven't seen the new black cat smiley yetsmiley - cat

I like Goo very much indeed. I'm using it now... It matches Mozilla's Modern Chrome rather nicely. Certainly better than Alabaster does. Not to mention that the yicky yellow and orangeness just doesn't go with the yicky greeny kind of colour...

So my vote's for Goo.

Goo! When Alabaster first appeared, I tried it for it's extra buttons and such. But in the end, it's buttons were no match for the beauty of Goo. smiley - smiley

Anyone think the Towers should do a Goo chrome for Mozilla/Netscape 6?

Well, actually I prefer goo but I missed all these nice buttons like who's online or ask h2g2 and so I changed back to alabaster. smiley - cry

Why do you need a button for Ask h2g2? It's got a nice easy-to-remember URL now:

http://www.h2g2.com/askh2g2

But yes, Goo needs a Who's Online button. I think Mark mentioned something somewhere about them working on adding extra buttons to Goo...

I use Blue Goo, of course, since when I started there wasn't anything else. Point of clarification: is Alabaster that rather bland white and green affair I get when I'm not logged in? Just asking.

Yes, that's Alabaster. I don't know what the art department were on when they designed it... we need a new skin that combines the groovy look of Goo with Alabaster's functionality and perhaps some of its speed.

Going with the minority.....Alabaster.

Goo loads too slowly (alabaster's bad enough) and I can't get it to work properly without the extra buttons.....

Oh no! We need a sort of bare skin that's got the buttons but not the slow-down stuff like image rollovers and so forth. What do you all think?

I feel like I need sunscreen when I use the Alabaster...

Blue, relaxing Goo for me.

Mark has promised elsewhere that Goo will be getting a Who's Online button soon, no promise of timescale. Watch the goo.

Alabaster. I just like to keep things simple.
Sometimes I switch to Goo to see a nicer look, but personally I find it harder to read - and you start thinking about your eyes in my age smiley - sadface

I like Alabaster because I like to have a light blue background and it doesn't look good in Goo. I first came here when Alabaster was on and though Goo took too much time to load up. Anyway, I like Alabaster over Goo. If they could make one that loaded up faster and looked better I would gladly use it.
