thanks guys for your opinions! ... i know, ... resizing causes some troubles - it's hard to deal with this without changing too much in the original layout (... when using that much graphics ;) ) rob thinks the design is too "busy" ... i think he's right in a way. but i wanted to do something a little bit funky, not so boring ... so, hopefully i'll be able to 'recycle' the whole stuff sometime in the future ;) wah it was a lot of work! :)
