network.guy:

Try doing different colors for the Zaurus name on the top.  I'm not sure how I feel about the green :-/

For the 320x240 version, I've decided that you only need to compensate for a 'Browse Software' link at the top and a 'Full Menu' link.  That way the user isn't listed with a huge list of menus, but if they want it all they have to do is click 'Full Menu' and it's shown.

Just thought I'd let you know

Uhh, all these designs look really nice, but I'm not sure making the ZSI2 that image intensive is such a good idea. A simple text page, with maybe one or two images at the top is all I'd need for visual excitement.

It just makes it faster to load, and fast loading is a major bonus on any Zaurus...
Sorry. I just don't have the time...

I know it might look fancy, but there is very little to my design. I chopped it up real quick just to see and the total bytes come to just 9.49KB that will take around 5 seconds to download using a 28.8kbps connection. And just now I realized I forgot to optimize the images first. I'm sure I could reduce that total to about 7KB. Also i could create a flat design, which can be toggled on or off, so on your desktop it can look pretty and on ur Zaurus it can be lightning quick.

Here are the quick chopped files:

Is that small enough for ya?

keep the comments coming

What do you think of this? I created a logo for ZSI2 as well.
The text in the bars are supposed to be just plain old css'ed fonts, the gradients can be chopped up into tiny file sizes, and the button bars are also fairly easily chopped up.

Hi all,
I'm curious why are you useing only grey and blue colors. Can't we get something red or yellow. Something more warmer. Just suggestion.

New logo is very cute. I like it.
