Not being blind or otherwise visually handicapped, but I use rather
large letters (18 pixels), do not use the entire screen width for
the browser window, and like to keep the monitor at low brightness
levels. This means that indeed the green in the top bars is too
dark to read. And that this green line wraps. And the text in the
blabla-bar ("Portage: an easy to use...") flows out of its box (see
the pngs). This is both in Konqueror and in Firefox. In Konqueror
alone the "Design by" in the bottom line wraps, and the little
green arrows in the menus at the bottom are missing, which makes it
hard to see that "Name/Logo Guideline" is a single entry.
What I dislike most is that the links are always underlined. I've
got my browsers configured not to underline links, and now this new
Gentoo style sheet forces these underlines.
The blabla-bar is unneeded, in my opinion it takes up too much
space, it makes it look too much like a commercial site, and it
makes the overall page too dark. Better make the menus that now
sit at the bottom of the front page sit at the left. The little
pictures in those menus are not needed, especially since the one for
Resources is incomprehensible. The infinity sign at the top
doesn't look enough like two O-s, and what is it supposed to refer
to? Better use two plain O-s, and make them bend just a little
toward each other.
