A couple of days ago, MacNN rolled out their newly-redesigned forums, and I have to say I’m impressed. The level of detail involved in skinning what’s normally a standard, boring element across many websites is serious points. The rounded edges across the board are really sweet, and the style switcher popup is beatiful, but what really gets me going are the rollovers at the top. Rather than a binary state, the hover states are gradual, resulting in a nice glow-and-fade combination. Check it out. It’s such a simple thing, but it’s a wonderful effect nevertheless.
