Like i said before the empty space / top box will be used for an image and the header will have something more interesting in it
The gradients on the header do not look right because I exported it in extermly low qulality, the gradient actually goes from a light blue to white, I will get a new updated, higher quality image up later.
I thought the orbs looked good, i was not going to use them all over the fourms as you can proabably see there is a space above the marketplace fourms where I will have 'icons' to represent the forums.
Thanks for the feedback
