i think if we decide to keep - what i call the ASF-colored bar as background for the title-bar and perhaps TOC we shoud stay with the white colored letters. in my idea of the design the h1-h6 "headlines" that have no colored background-bar are even already using the light gray/blue (#828DA6) from that same scheme. perhaps not very colorful but very ASF - and very cool :-)
Can we see an example of what you are talking about?
yes, on the content area of this page
http://www.bullitt.suite.dk/mod_perl_site/var_d/download/binaries.html
first a breadcrumb (home/download/) then follows a titlebar (ASF-background, white lettering) then follows a in-document navigation widget (ASF-colors) then follows anoher titlebar (Table of contens, named "Index" here, but again ASF-background, white lettering) if i click on the link called Description i get to a "headline" called Description. this headline has a white background and #828DA6-colored lettering.
looks good, Allan. I still didn't see other different pages, with more content, almost no content at all. I guess this is still a manualy done page, so it's probably not easy to show other pages.
comments:
* s/Index/Table of Contents/. 'Index' is what you have at the end of the book, not the beginning. Am I wrong? And I still think that [TOC | TOP] should be dressed similar to the [<|^|>] bar, like you had in the
original design.
* It's not clear that the breadcrumb (home/download/) is a navigation element. IMHO, making it into a colored bar will help those who aren't used to the site yet. This can be a very light grey, but I don't think transparency is good here.
* I cannot judge the font selection for other browsers, but on linux/mozilla Thomas' fonts selection is much easier to read than yours.
Any reason for picking this particular font?
* Thomas' menu fonts are narrower - the menu takes less horizontal space.
* I like Thomas' logo better, it's giving light. Can we use it?
* Also would like to have the bottom bar for TM/change date/other stuff. What do you think? The "Use of the Camel for Perl is a trademark of O'Reilly & Associates, and is used by permission" clearly doesn't belong to the content box. So it's better to go to the bottom, something similar to what I've place in the boilerplate: http://www.apache.org/~stas/site/boilerplate/ I do want to put TT2 logo there. And may be more things in the future.
Overall it seems that we are getting close to something very good. Good work folks!
Me working on porting the content, so once we have the design ready we can go to a preview stage with the real content.
p.s. I cannot remember where I've seen realy nice CSS for making <pre> sections look very neat :( May be we should use this approach?

I think it's too noisy.
