and http://www.opensuse.org/ as a splash screen for the wikis.
We should have more than one splash. It is kind of boring, always the same :-) Now when we know that there is professional designer with us can we expect more activity on design.
Unfortunately the web servers have no common design (Wikis, Build Service) or no design at all ;-) (Download, Repositories).
:-) Not only that there is no design, but is hard to find what one wants to download in the present table. I'm not new here and I have to read whole table to find what I want. ...
We would like to harmonize the design of all these web servers, so it is always very clear that one is surfing on an openSUSE page - regardless of what server is visited. We would also like to make http://www.opensuse.org/ the single entry point for all openSUSE web servers, not only for the Wiki.
That would require smaller tail and more text and graphic in style with others. ...
A web design that can be used on all openSUSE servers has to be very flexible. Our designer Robert Lihm has made a proposal that we would like to discuss with you:
http://www.suse.de/~fs/opensuse/
This directory contains two mockups (Wiki home page, Wiki content page) and a color palette. .... So, please tell us whether you like it or not, whether you have got suggestions for improvement, or ... .
... Improvement would be darker orange for the links, now it looks fine, but when comes to reading it is not that comfortable. Empty space at the top in the middle is something that I don't find as good. There must be something from left side to fill that space. The middle portion with frames around every title looks better. I would only use rounded corners, or top corners rounded and bottom as is, to be in style with the rest of new proposal, but absolutely not abandon them. The color pallete seems to be small. We have a lot of elements that should be highlighted and it will not work well with few colors in present pallete. We should be able to give some identity to different web pages and different content, not only text, but graphic and color too. I guess that you have that in plan. Register/Login looks much better now. Though it can have it's own frame, and than "Getting openSUSE" can go all the way up. Top frames with openSUSE logo and register login should be rounded at the top to mark that one is at the top of the page, and nothing is left out. All in all new proposal looks fine. -- Regards, Rajko. http://en.opensuse.org/Portal --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org
