So, I agree sorta with what I think Christian was stating.I don't particularly care for the color scheme. I'm making a slightly modified markup in GIMP. I'm just wondering if there's a reason the original color scheme was abandoned? I only ask because I actually really liked it. Was there a driving reason as it was honestly the identity of Django in my mind. In particular, I find it interesting that's there's an official Django color that is usually the background to the logo (#092E20 - as defined on https://www.djangoproject.com/community/logos/), yet that's not the background to the logo on the main site.
That stated, I like the general content and layout now. Quick mockup color change: http://imgur.com/DsrKIpw and http://imgur.com/puW01nn It's basically pulling back the old colors. (My guess is that documentation now looks like it used to, but I can't verify.) Obviously, if there was a good reason for the color change, then my changes are pointless. I just think it's losing the identity. - Joe On Tue, Dec 16, 2014 at 5:50 PM, Alex Gaynor <alex.gay...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hi Christian, > > While I'm sure you didn't mean it this way, your email frankly makes you > sound like an jerk, and that tone is not appropriate for this list. > > You've not substantiated any of your claims, other than that it your > personal preference. > > If you'd like to make specific, *actionable* suggests or feedback, that's > fine, but just shitting on other people's hard work is not. > > Alex > > > On Tue Dec 16 2014 at 2:55:42 PM Schmitt, Christian < > c.schm...@briefdomain.de> wrote: > >> Somehow I hate it.
