Given that it is both dark and tiny, it does not stand out at all. Under Firefox on my 19" monitor, "Bering uClibc" is only about 2/3" wide and is almost unreadable. "Lince" *is* unreadable.
Tom, Thanks for the feedback. :-)
The readability of the nav bar may be related to the small caps, and fonts you have installed. Do you have the Bitstream Vera fonts installed?
The larger size is readable for me (Mozilla 1.6 on 'doze), but the darker colors make the nav-bar seem 'disconnected' from the actual website, especially on the pages that still have the smaller text.
I agree with KP that the Releases/Branches menu should return.
I'll give this serious consideration. If it returns, the nav bar won't. I've been trying to eliminate redundant information.
Everyone, Does anyone think the nav bar is usable? Is it worth working on further, or should I scrap it? Is it good enough to last a few months waiting for phpWebSite 0.9.4 to be released?
Note: this theme is only temporary. We'll have a theme contest as soon as phpWebSite 0.9.4 is released.
IMHO:
If you want a nav-bar, it should pretty much duplicate the content on the main-menu (or perhaps a subset of main-menu entries), and match the style of the rest of the site (ie: currently black text on blue).
I also think the releases/branches page (and main-menu item) should return. There's too much difference between branches to cover with a simple nav bar.
For quick access, I think listing a few of the current popular distributions on the main page is fine (ie: perhaps a bering, bering-uClibc, and 'others' link, with others taking you to the releases page).
