First of all, I really enjoyed the revised designs! But there is one thing, that I'd like to bring up for discussion: Do you guys actually like the icons? IMHO they should be a bit smaller. In addition to that I have the feeling that we aren't following a clear style when it comes to icons. Correct me if I'm wrong, but we are kind of mixing different icon sets (that use different color palettes) on the front page? Some of them tend to look KDE-like. Others don't.
well, I am no designer - somebody create a nice, consistent set of icons for openSUSE and everybody will be happy to use it ;-). I just took what I found at http://en.opensuse.org/Category:Icons and btw, I do not think they are too heterogeneous.
Yeah, we need designers... desperately ;)
On the splash thingy: How about using a white background? Looking at http://www.wikipedia.org/, we could just use openSUSE as a heading + the geeko/openSUSE logo in the middle of the page and group our different languages around them.
Already did that as a very first draft for a splash screen and didn't liked it. Anyway, here it is: http://www.suse.de/~fs/opensuse/splash_white.html
That's nice! How about using a bigger openSUSE logo? And maybe adding some stats on each wiki (like "1000+ pages") below each language, using smaller letters of course. We could also try to place a direct link to download.openSUSE.org on the splash / portal page, to always highlight the latests version and get people to download openSUSE! But adding a seach box to it is much more important IMO :) Regards Christoph --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki-unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki-help@opensuse.org
