I find the "Only xx days to go" message a little difficult to read, perhaps because of the background being overwhelming, or perhaps because of my poor vision :) -- Atri -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

For myself, and everyone knows about my low-vision :-), I find it very readable. However, vision is not uniform and different people see things in different ways, even amongst low-visioners. I can see how the busy-ness of the background can interfere with the readability of the text. Perhaps a raised font to give it a more 3D appearance and thus greater separation between the text and background would be more helpful?

Hi, I don't have vision problems, nevertheless I subscribe Bryen on this issue as it seems to me the contrast between the text and the background could be worked for a better result. I have also much respect for the original way on how contributions are submitted and to respect it without major changes, we could try to use a 1px stroke around the font on the text in a bright color (maybe lemon green from old Jimmac's pallete) to try and see if we could get a better result, and respecting the original author's contribution. Would that be possible as a test? NM On Sun, Jan 16, 2011 at 1:54 PM, Bryen M. Yunashko wrote:

Okay, I'll give it a shot. But we can also do something completely different, no problem, if someone has a proposal. cheers -- -o) Pascal Bleser /\\ http://opensuse.org -- I took the green pill _\_v FOSDEM XI: 5 + 6 Feb 2011, http://fosdem.org

I like the general concept of the current design and don't think we should be expending time re-tinkering with a new design. We're all busy with lots on our plates both personally with other commitments and preparation for 11.4 release itself. I think time is better spent if we just focus on enhancing the text presentation and moving on from here. A new design may simply spawn more endless discussions and push the countdown release even further down the line. I'm not seeing any objections to the actual design itself, so why re-do it? :-) Bryen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org

It's not what I meant. But if someone has another idea on how to do it, she's most welcome to share it, it's not like I'm the one deciding which one to use (it's just that I'm the only one doing it ;)).

What about this then ? http://counter.opensuse.org/

Just curious, since the counter design is accepted already, why does http://www.opensuse.org/en/ still have the oSConf counter and not this? Also, was there only an english counter for the conference since all the language versions of the o.o homepage (nl, de, es, etc) have the same conference counter version.

The counter is there, maybe you need to clear your cache to get the current version of the page. For the translations: Please send me a translated version of: http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/opensuse/trunk/infrastructure/www.o.o/el... so I can include it.

Yes, but it points to the conference page. Same applies to the German page.

Then someone with the proper access rights should remove that already outdated openSUSE Conference "see you next year" announcement from http://www.opensuse.org/en/ as Bruno Friedmann did point us.
