Re: [fossil-users] New CSS on the Fossil homepage
Actually, the thing I like most is the rotated skeleton. BTW, have you considered a different logo. For me fossils usually associate with ammonites, like: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Haeckel_Douvilleiceras_mammillatum.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Haeckel_Ammonitida.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonoidea If you like it then perhaps there's someone on the list with enough talent to produce a nice logo from one of the Haeckel ammonites.

I don't like the wallpaper background in #1! It reminds me of a 1990's website (and no, it didn't look good back then either). We shouldn't strive to be _that_ kind of fossil. I like the rotated fossil logo because it is more space efficient than the upright version. Whether or not to keep the new outside thick border, I could go either way. The link colors on #1 are nice - I especially like how the unclicked link is a nice subtle blue. But, please leave it a bluish hue for unclicked and a purplish hue for click - if for nothing else but standard convention's sake. I got very confused very quick on the reverse motif of whether or not I had been somewhere (but, I know I clicked on that link and read that doc, why is the link still blue???). -- Christopher Berardi http://www.natoufa.com/ May grace and peace by yours in abundance. ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users

I don't like the wallpaper background in #1! It reminds me of a 1990's website (and no, it didn't look good back then either). Well, the consensus seems to be emerging that the background image is a bad idea. So I've taken it out of the CSS for now. (It is only commented out, so it can easily be added back in later - and I'll keep it active on my person clones of the repo, of course). All the rest is the same. -- D.
