Upcoming UI Changes on OpenGameArt.org

Seeing as how traffic is starting to pick up lately, I've decided that it's time to get serious about user interface design and start being consistent with all the professional file download sites up there.  Specifically, as an internet user, when I go somewhere to download a file, I expect to be bombarded with a barrage of misleading download links to shovelware, malware, and other crap I don't want.  The real download link, as we all know, should be small and off in some non-obvious place.  This is a guiding principle of the design of modern download sites, and it's time I stopped ignoring it.  Here's my latest design mockup (click the image to enlarge):

The OpenGameArt.org staff hopes that you enjoy this new feature!

Happy April Fools' Day! :)

Don't forget the timer, so that people don't prematurely download content they don't need/want and so they appreciate the content more!
