Nicola, Thanks for your changes. Here are some additional specifics for your consideration:
- I prefer the left flush menu area from http://www.apache.org/~danny/ - I like the indented menu layout from http://www.krysalis.org/centipede/beta3/ - I still prefer the section headings from http://www.apache.org/~danny/ - I'm ambivalent about the "tabs", but if they are going to be there, I'd prefer to see them look more like tabs (overlapped appearance and rounded corners). - I like a > b > c nav in http://www.krysalis.org/centipede/beta3/ We can talk about colors after you look these others over. :-) What is the current status of proposing a site-wide look? The look you have in Krysalis is rather different from the basic Apache/Jakarta look, or the similar look used on the current Avalon site. --- Noel -----Original Message----- From: Nicola Ken Barozzi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 26, 2002 4:41 To: James Developers List Subject: Re: Forrest-made James test site - sneak preview Noel J.

Actually, based on feedback from you guys and others, I've reworked the forrest skin to match better your visual expectations. Take a look here http://www.krysalis.org/centipede/beta3/ and see if it's better. This skin could also be a visual reference for the new forrest skin we're doing in pure CSS or used as such with color scheme modifications. -- Nicola Ken Barozzi [EMAIL PROTECTED] - verba volant, scripta manent - (discussions get forgotten, just code remains) --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
