What a great job the folks did on the countdown banners for Karmic Koala. I’ve used it on several sites to date. One question though, is there going to be a static banner that say: It’s here? Or something like that. I’m assuming the java ones will default to something like that on the release date. If anyone knows about a static banner, please let me know so I can update the sites where I am using the static banner.
Thanks
