[opensuse-wiki] Usability note: Template NavBar
There is something making us to put important things in a center: http://en.opensuse.org/Template:NavBar That would be OK if just above text is not article title that is positioned (aligned) left and user has to move eyes to the center to read a link to the leading article and then back to the next line that is also centered, then finally start with intro frame, or first section of the article. IMHO, that is not good. Readers read begin of the line trying to catch information. Lines that are not left aligned with main content at the beginning are obstacles, specially for fast readers that can easily miss something that was centered to attract attention. I could change template, but I want consent of writers and editors that read this list, before making any changes. See what is proposed in http://en.opensuse.org/Template:NavBarLine . -- Regards Rajko, openSUSE Wiki Team: http://en.opensuse.org/Wiki_Team People of openSUSE: http://en.opensuse.org/People_of_openSUSE/About -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-wiki+help@opensuse.org
