I also see this whitespace in Linux with Galeon, and I agree it seems |
20 |
out of place and could use to be tightened up. |
21 |
|
22 |
Another issue is the line spacing on the last line of authors in docs is |
23 |
greater than the rest. |
24 |
|
25 |
I'm a little unsure that the links in the upper right should be all |
26 |
caps...looks kinda odd. |
27 |
|
28 |
If the "Make a Donation" graphic is going to be in the donate div then |
29 |
having "Donation" bold is redundant and misleading as it isn't |
30 |
clickable, and the Make a Donation graphic needs it's transparency |
31 |
worked on. |
32 |
|
33 |
Whitespace is needed between "> What's New" and the line before the news |
34 |
items...color separation would look better than the horizontal lines |
35 |
that currently separate news items. |
36 |
|
37 |
On some pages, http://wwwredesign.gentoo.org/doc/en/list.xml for |
38 |
one...the ads on the right become spaced out from the right hand side |
39 |
instead of being consistently aligned. |
40 |
|
41 |
On http://wwwredesign.gentoo.org/doc/en/list.xml the subsections could |
42 |
use some whitespace between them, ie. between the "Installation Guides" |
43 |
section of links and the "Other Installation Related Documentation" list |
44 |
of links. |
45 |
|
46 |
http://wwwredesign.gentoo.org/main/en/about.xml scrolls horizontally |
47 |
probably due to the fig's overflow. |
48 |
|
49 |
Increasing the line spacing could be good, since lists of links |
50 |
currently look very crowded due to their underlines being 1 pixel from |
51 |
the top of the next line's text. |
52 |
|
53 |
On docs, the "Printer-friendly" graphic needs to be vertically centered |
54 |
on the text to it's left, or alternately could be right aligned so it is |
55 |
in the top-right of the page. |
56 |
|
57 |
On pages where the ads are longer than the content to their left, the |
58 |
content is vertically aligned middle, it needs to be vertically aligned |
59 |
top. |
60 |
|
61 |
On docs, tables have a 2px border, which seems too heavy/thick...a 1px |
62 |
white border could look good, just denoting separation of the cells. |
63 |
|
64 |
It would be good if there was a way to restrict the width of notes/warns |
65 |
since on |
66 |
http://wwwredesign.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=3 they cause the page to scroll horizontally, when they could instead just wrap their contents...only code listings should be kept from being wrapped. |
67 |
|
68 |
The lines that flank the nav elements in the handbook seem too heavy as |
69 |
well...maybe 1px solid or dotted would look better? or maybe no lines? |
70 |
|
71 |
And I'm not sure what's happening with dates in the GWN index, but they |
72 |
have extra newlines in them causing them to look rather odd. |
73 |
|
74 |
And I take it the glsa index stuff |
75 |
(http://wwwredesign.gentoo.org/security/en/index.xml) hasn't been |
76 |
implemented for the wwwredesign site? |
77 |
|
78 |
That's it for now, Curtis, I hope you don't see my comments as critical |
79 |
or demanding, they are just suggestions/my personal opinions...I'm very |
80 |
impressed with how much work you've done, and I'd like to thank you for |
81 |
keeping the redesign alive, if it weren't for you it would've died and |
82 |
been forgotten :) |
