Travis you can get away with a width of 250 on the left for the buttons. Gives more space on the right.

Ah, Trevor.

Have you ever seen 'Made in Britain'?

[Trevsweb]

no IMDB brought up the film http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0084287/ looks dodgy... watched Scum all the way through and felt a little let down. do doubt Trevor meets a grisely demise.
i'm into films with happy endings..

I guess people keep calling you Travis because your handle sounds like "Travisweb" when spoken. Of course it's obvious you mean Trevor when one stops to think about it, but I parsed Travis the first time as well Just think of it as us thinking you're like Travis Touchdown

..i dont know who that is.... lol

It's mainly about width. And pages designed for a 800 pixels wide screen will display perfectly fine on pretty much any non-ancient desktop pc.

Sure, I guess... I just think the Pandora's screen is mighty small for some of these designs. Hey, I hope I'm wrong! And that might not look so great as I use dual monitors at 1680x1050.

thought the point of this was to make a pandora specific application/download store.. not desktop.. not mobile... just pandora. in a webbrowser.

Well it seems like the point is to make it available from any browser:

You will be able to grab anything you want from it. Someone may well make one for the Pandora, but right now, it is html based so you can access it from any machine inc. the Pandora.

gotta say this one is my favorite

Oh and The Box is an ingenious site name!!

Darien's one, while very professional-looking, is too Microsofty. It tries to be complete while what we need is something very simple.

Someone also talked about the idea of having buttons droping lists. That would make lots of sense. A long list of whatever won't work, unless it has its own scrollbar, and even then, it's gonna be a hassle.
I think the Apple way with the icons and as little text as possible is the way to go. We can add more description and screenshots on the app's page anyway.

my 2¢

[Trevsweb]

drop lists can be a bugger even with a mouse. they re very tempermental. adding something like a scroll list would just be a nightmare for the finger friendly folk. better off with a inbetween list we can choose from... its another page to load but beats messing up your selection and having to go back a stage due to inaccuracy.
I think we should personnally get rid of welcome messages.. we know why we are at the shop we dont need to be told where we are imho.

The box is great a clean design. and Dariens design is great too hope more people try and get the most out of the shop front.

Magical Trevor FTW

Its a bit bad looking, but you get the idea. Most of the icons are ripped from the actual file archive, so ignore them and the text.

^Fixed. Although I must say, apple has mostly text and very few images in its App Store, the opposite of what you said. When browsing categories, it's just an icon for quick recognition, and then the Title. That's about as basic as it gets. I completely agree with "We can add more description and screenshots on the app's page anyway."
