The new "New" icon

[Paul B]

Just noticed the new "New" icon in posts.

I have to say it's a huge improvement on the old one <thumbsup>

How does it fit within the overall width of the site though?
Quite curious to see how it works as it sort of "wraps" around the edge.

It looks really good though.

hmmm... it does not look like a wrap-around-effect, at least it looks strange to me (using FireFox-browser 3.6.8).

It looks like somebody but a 1px-square onto the top-right-corner.

I actually quite like that it feels consistent... only other option would be to push the quote down or left and these two options would be worse.

True...

Does to me as well.

If someone calls this web2.0 because of the wrap around, I'll be slapping you through your monitor.

For me it looks like a warp-around-effect, and I like it more the the old one.

Sounds painful........

the wrapper (or whatever it is) looks like the new "semanic web 3.0"

More ego bruising then anything else .

If you start a web3.0 trend, I'm hiring a hitman.

It uses up at least 1 character. Go here, see the offset on the first line because of the New, then hit refresh.

It would be great to see a picture in the upper right hand corner too.

hmmmm I don't like how the new image sets on the cat strip when you quote someone.

This would be the alternative probably.

As do I.

Just for you Abomination.

Looks like the image gets pushed down below the icon.

 

[Dean]

I think we need every pixel we can get horizontally. I really want 800 wide pictures for our site, and other things will fill up most the rest of the horizontal space. (yes it depends on monitor resolution)

I was thinking a huge picture? I'll add one in the next post.

edit: I cannot find a huge picture at the moment.

Same here.

But images just get pushed down so it shouldn't affect them.

The new icon stands out much better than the old one and looks more professional. It definitely gets a thumbs up from me

No, It does not get pushed down.

 

[Paul B]

No, It does not get pushed down.

Yes it does.

OK, Here is a large black image:

I shouldn't write anything before the image to see how will icon get placed with this image.

 

[Ahmed]

Yes it does.

Yes, You are right. I stand corrected.
I tested that with the image you posted in THIS without resizing the browser window.
