But, > the font in the left menu frame is not the same, that should be fixed. You should "arial, helvetica, sans-serif" ring any bells. My mistake was dri.inc isn't used in the menu, besides it never looked ugly under Opera 6 or Netscape 7 iirc. Fixed. > 3.

So basically the last 4 sentences from the > current page. Ah but with links for those who cant / wont click on Help & FAQ or Documentation even with three (with frames, two without) links on the page. <g> Done. > c) "Outstanding Projects" : the outstanding infrastructure status info, > that would be useful for developers wondering what items still need to be > done (aside from drivers of course). Done and now you begin to see the other need for dri card features lists. > 4. Links on the links page should have target="_top" or "_new" so that they > don't open in a frame.

Wonder why no one mentioned this, thanks. Nailed those two pages and contribute page, don't think there are anymore, or if they are it's probably better that way. > 5.

Well I'm leaving it just to bug you <g> Seriously though I think others are far more tolerant of this.
> Just modify the dri_header() code for that. I know how to do things, I just don't know which things to do. <g> Now I have a question. In the left hand menu / frame at the bottom is: Hosted by: SourceForge .net Now it is obviously slicker to not have "Hosted by:" but should it (the text) be removed? cheers Liam ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
