it's just a little thing I have to mention: Could you *please* change
the background of the Lyx website? It hurts my eyes. ;) No, it's not the
color. I really like green. But: It's extremely ehausting to read
through white text on ground of a repeating white/black/green LyX logo.
A good thing would be less contrast for the logo. A better thing would
be a text area with a /neutral/ background (so: no images, just color)
for the text. Still, the best thing would be: no logo at all. (I mean
the background, outside of text areas you may put as much logos as you
want =) .)
I agre it is not very nice. There are several ways you can help us with
this. The easiest thing for us is if you can check out the web pages
locally using Subversion, e.g. on *nix you do:
svn co svn://svn.lyx.org/lyx/www-user/trunk www-user
If you're on Windows, then install TortoiseSVN and get them from:
svn://svn.lyx.org/lyx/www-user/trunk www-user
Once you have the web pages, you can modify the colours to something you
like, we can have a look, and since it's bound to be an improvement,
change the colour scheme at lyx.org:-)
If you are unable to do the above, but can suggest colour codes to me I
can try and implement that to a working copy of the web pages. In order
to verify the commans above, I checked out a copy here:
http://www.lyx.org/~chr/www-user/
To look at the source (and retreive files one by one), you can browse the
source of the web pages here:
http://www.lyx.org/trac/browser/www-user/trunk
I'm guessing the files that control appearance can be found in this
directory:
http://www.lyx.org/trac/browser/www-user/trunk/styles
I think these are the files that need changing:
http://www.lyx.org/trac/browser/www-user/trunk/styles/lographics.css
http://www.lyx.org/trac/browser/www-user/trunk/styles/higraphics.css
Dunno if this query fits into the docs mailing list, but at least it
wouldn't fit neither in the other lists.
It'd be fine in the developers' list as well, I think.
If you are unable to do any of the above, let me know. Perhaps posting
these instructions on the users' list will let others help.
Best regards
