Hi, My SUSE colleagues worked on a new landing page during the last hackweek but I am not sure where it lives in github. I'll find it on Monday when I get back in the office and can find someone who knows and post a link. -- Kenneth On 31/01/15 12:12, Simon wrote:
Hi All, I thought it was about time we looked at the website again, ever since the 13.2 banner has been on the landing page it has bugged me due to how much the colors clash with the green and orange rectangle. I don't have the time to redesign the entire website + wiki + forums and everything else, but I figured i probably do have time to go through the stylesheets and recolor the website to match the new branding guidelines http://opensuse.github.io/branding-guidelines/ so that is what i have done. If someone is in the process of redesiging everything nice work and go for that instead.
There is 1 content / design change i would like to make to the front page and that is to add the top navigation bar present in the wiki and forums, i have always found it hard to navigate the rest of the site from the front page, so i guess others do as well and i think that that will help.
I have done some mockups using the firefox inspection tools that allow messing with and replacing stylesheets. I use a wiki as my notepad, and the list of changes i have made can be found there, http://notes.simotek.net/doku.php?id=projects:opensusee:website, I have also created css files that can be pasted in over the exisiting ones so that you can try out the changes, although they will disappear as soon as you navigate to another page.

That is just a rough start, if people are happy with them i can do the other sites (a list of all of them would be great), fix the icons that no longer fit, do the mouseover link color(i was lazy) and find all the other corner cases. I was wondering if there are any test servers running mirroring the sites that i could get access to that would make life much easier as would knowing where all the source code lives.
Look forward to the comments, feedback and questions.
Cheers Simon Lees.
