I like big images. And I didn't get cable for nothing, nobody forces you to click the thumb basse :P
But sadly my first reaction was the same, but mainly because you need to resize the window to reach the X. Then again, the shortcut for X is C! ( C for close… )

Nice work konrad.

@brian: I use the mighty lightbox-plus on my website, it automatically resizes big images to the browser's screen size. I'm quite happy with it.

brian: well.. i run 2560×1024 desktop but i usually keep my browser somewhere around 1024 wide.. because sites dont use the space anyway.. not even blendernation, (except the huge popups nowadays heh heh)

Thanks for the download link konrad_ha. While I agree flash is the standard for internet video I still feel its good to offer a downloadable version for those with a slower internet connection and also those who prefer not to install flash. Mabey you could do what Redhat does and offer a flash video along side a download link to the ogg theora version.

@basse That's my fault. I should take into consideration that not everyone has a large widescreen.

ok stupid, i know.. but lately here the screenshots and all pictures that pop open in that flashy stretchy system have been quite big. maybe limit them slightly smaller standard size … something like.. say 800×600 at max?

am i just stupid? should i just stretch my browser window?
i don't know.. just feels a bit unuserfriendly. like blender.

@ZanQdo: Oh I know Earth doesn't look like this. We just thought along the lines of "more specular, more spectacular". No really, we liked it better this way. Earth also doesn't emit giant blueish flashes of light.
