Hello,

Hi all.

Hey Marcus, long time no see :)

...

The design of planet.opensuse.org is quite outdated and does not fit with the rest of the site.

Indeed, it is.

We registers that and have spoken about it and u can find that on http://en.opensuse.org/Art_Team/Working_pages as an open task

What about updating the theme?

I'm currently having a look at rawdog [1], which is what PlanetKDE is using. That involves a technical migration first (has a few more features and is more actively maintained than Planet) as well as changing the design to the Bento theme. I believe there is a problem with the Bento [2] theme though, as it is a fixed [3] width design, and not a fluid/elastic [3][4] one, which means most people, who have a somewhat higher screen resolution, will end up only using 50-60% of the screen width for content. Not sure it's such a great plan. But hey, what do I know ;) That being said, PlanetKDE [5] uses a fixed design too. It'll require some hacking/adaptation of the Bento theme. Rawdog, like Planet [6], is very simple in that regard, it's just a bunch of HTML templates.
