exaudi.com.ar | retro.tecno.pop

Hi, first time I present a site here… please, be kind! :D

http://www.exaudi.com.ar

It’s my band site. I have been inspired in The Man Machine aesthetic ;) and the layout has been a bit inspired from 456bereastreet.com (Roger Johansson)

Well, it is still a bit under construction… but you know… anyone never finish working on his own site…
In following posts I will talk about the plug-ins being in use, and all that blabla that nobody really cares but us.. :D

Musik… ¡non-stop!

Forgot to say: the chosen colour scheme and the design decisions may hurt your eyes badly.

Re: exaudi.com.ar | retro.tecno.pop

The head image is flickering on hove while is loading.

Perhaps merging both the normal and the hovered image could help:

h1 a{
background:url(/img/bla.png) center top no-repeat;
}

h1 a:hover{
background:url(/img/bla.png) center bottom no-repeat;
}

The image is already loaded before hovering.

This map in left sidebar is made like this.

Re: exaudi.com.ar | retro.tecno.pop

Hi. Thanks Bastian, Gerhard and Nardo for your comments.

@Bastian, thanks for your suggestion about the bg image. I know that technique, but I have never used it before. Maybe it’s time to use it.
My question is: what happens when you resize the layout? I mean, a simple CTRL + mouse wheel wont show the “hidden” part of the image?
I should try it before asking but…

In the meanwhile, I’m using a technique (i cannot remember where did I learn it) but it’s not working currently :D

Basically, it is:

h1 a { background-image: url(image-hover.gif);
}
h1 a:link, a:visited { background-image: url(image-normal.gif);
}
h1 a:hover, a:focus { color: #fff; border-color: #fff; background-image: url(image-hover.gif);
}

The idea: the hover image is loaded for the <a> element inside the <h1>, but then, for a:link and a:visited, it is changed again to the normal image…

Well… I will keep working on the site and announce changes here.
Thanks again.
