If you think something's missing, let me know.I think there is obviously far too much white space, also the same on theDownloads page.Does this mean "not enough content on the page", or "the margins, padding, etc. are too tall/wide"? If it's the latter, at what resolution are you viewing the site (1024x768, 1280x1024, etc.)?The menu doesn't do anything for me, it seems very plain, maybe that's theway you want it?I assume you are talking about the top navigation bar. It *is* very plain, but I'm not sure how I would make it flashier, or if that's even a good idea.
Perhaps just add a 1px border to the items? white inbetween, light grey at the bottom?
Oh, I just realized you're using a table for the menu. Please don't use layout tables on new websites any more! Should I provide you with a CSS so that you can use a UL instead?
The site is using a "liquid layout", where the the top navigation bar stretches to fill the width of browser window, so there are limited options for using gradients and other techniques you find in fixed-width sites (like apple.com).
There are neat CSS techniques if you'd like to use gradients, but I like the plain look.
