The new CHM manual design (from http://weblabor.hu/php/newchm.html) looks
nice overall, and I love the new features. There are just a couple of
things:

1. It loads slowly. I really like the speed I get with the last version of
the manual. I think this is partly because of the heavy graphics, and partly
from the Javascript loading of header and footer.

2. I can deal with the orange bar and icons at the top, but the multicolored
orange user notes has GOT to be changed.

3. The faded background graphic behind the text is pretty, but distracting.

4. The code examples need some sort of background or outline to
differentiate them.

5. I think it is only right to have the PHP logo somewhere on the page. (at
least the lettering)

I grabbed a couple HTML pages out of the manual and made the above changes,
including a few other stylistic changes. I believe the changes make the
manual a little more ergononic and should make it load a little faster, too.
Please take a look at http://64.34.228.37/php_manual/

I will be working on a nice design for the manual start page. I would be
happy to provide any other help desired in CSS, Javascript, etc... I also
have some other ideas on how to reduce the graphics without sacrificing the
design.
