Is it just me or can you guys see a noticable difference between the colour of the background fill in the header (top right) and the rest of the page?

It is light at the left hand side and a lot darker at the right, if that's what you mean...

I have no such problem. I'm an XP boy though, with Firefox.

The header is jpeg format, I can see the artifacts from here, and the background is gif.

So yes, there is a difference and it's visible, but not as dramatic as you portray (that alone is difference in gamma settings between the images, and/or browser differences, Macs have their gamma levels set differently by default). I suggest whoever has the original header image re-saves it in gif or png with a decent palette.

For reference, here's how it renders for me (Windows XP, SlimBrowser):

Fraid so. Although I hadn't noticed it until I read this..
I'm using Safari if that's of any relevance.

Edit: confusion all over the place!

Zoomed in with Opera 8.02 in Linux. I can't really see it when the zoom is 100% (natural size), so I didn't notice until now.

On XP using Firefox, didn't notice anything until you brought it up, and there's indeed a slight discolouration.

I'm sure it'll get fixed soon :)

it can only be fixed if they use PNG lossless, I believe

yup, on firefox and the (miniscule) problem is there.

Well, as stated above, the "problem" is the .jpg format. Lossy.

Ok, I'll get on Jan's back to convert it to to PNG.

Thanks for the tips Piro. ;)
