guidelines

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.

Stylesheets - http://paste.opensuse.org/44505356 replace base.css (same
as wiki)
- http://paste.opensuse.org/55680447 replace
additional.css
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.
