Looks nice in Firefox-1.0.7-r3 with SyncMaster710N (birghtness 35, contrast 65).
Suggestions (wrt http://wwwredesign.gentoo.org): 1) The additional links in green at the top look out of place, a bit hard to read, and there lacks any break between the links adding to reading difficulty and, perhaps, difficulty in accessibility services; I don't run any, but take a look at http://webxact.watchfire.com. 2) Personally, I kind of like the infinity logo, but coupled with the bubble "g" is a little too much. 3) The links on the main bar (About, Get G, Docs) could use some separation between them to help the eye break the links. I thought the bar on w.aaronshi.com/gentoo did a fine job at that. 4) The next row of cells proclaiming Gentoo's goodness ... Interesting info for new people, but doesn't look quite right. Cell 2 (Packs + Docs = potential) is hard to read; perhaps breaking each part into its own line would help, but that almost creates more issues. Personally, when I see a "Please Donate" button at the top, it always feels like I'm being hustled. I'd suggest putting it at the bottom; really, the placement depends on if your point-of-view: if you're paying for the server or visiting the site. The last thing about this row of cells is the vertical space could be tightened up; going to play problems with larger fonts though. 5) The underline scheme used throughout the page for links looks like they should be acronyms and not links. There are two ways to help distinguish, but they are conflicting: hover and see if you get a title/acronym or the visual change of a new underline. In practice there is no real difference between a title and an acronym. I think the visual changes could be up'ed a bit. The change of underline style isn't really noticeable. Maybe a slightly different shade? *shrug* 6) I liked the white background of w.aaronshi.com/gentoo as opposed to the tinted purple of redesign; it adds more contrast. I also liked, and find them pretty essential, the breaks between the side bars and the main content. Lots of suggestions, but I definately like the new look overall. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
