Hey Chip, the BG is basically a layered background with a gradient and overlay pattern on top. I can send along the PNGs I used for those and a snippet of CSS, and you can apply them to the site.
I'm also using Noto Sans for the font (ASF 2.0 licensed), if you want to use that as well. What I can do is either attach the bitmap assets I'm using (BG images, logos, font, etc.) to the wiki page, so anyone can grab them there for use in other materials, or else they are all in the ui-restyle git branch, under /ui/stylesheets/csui/ -Brian ________________________________________ From: Chip Childers [chip.child...@sungard.com] Sent: Thursday, September 26, 2013 6:09 PM To: dev@cloudstack.apache.org Cc: Sonny Chhen; Animesh Chaturvedi; Jessica Wang Subject: Re: [DISCUSS] UI: New look and feel Looks great Brian! One request actually. I'm working on a proposed cloudstack.apache.org site redesign right now, and I'd actually love to get the relevant CSS you used for the header area (faded blue). It might be nice to have some relationship between the cs.a.o branding and the product itself. ;-) (watch the marketing list for my site redesign proposal shortly) On Thu, Sep 26, 2013 at 10:11:07PM +0000, Brian Federle wrote: > Hi all, > > In addition to the CSS code cleanup I'm working on, I am planning a 'reskin' > of the current UI to give a better user experience and look and feel.
