Hi.
Yesterday I had a look at the manual after quite a while and found it
very hard to read on screen.
These issues jump out immediately:
- serif font is fine for printing, but sucks on screens
- lines are way too long, respectivly:
- format is to wide to have it next to or on top of mixxx window (on the
same screen)
- some page-breaks unnecessarily cut short chapters
I'd like to help improving the manual, though I'm not very patient nor
super-skilled in DTP.
I'll have a look at how all the formatting is done, also I'll ask a
fellow graphic designer for feedback.
Maybe someone else already noticed this and has suggestions in the pipeline?
Find my further suggestions at https://github.com/mixxxdj/manual/issues
Cheers
