Our friends in the LFS French translation team have suggested a new format

the css files and add/change a couple of images.
These are the svn changes before commit (? files need to be added):
M stylesheets/lfs-xsl/chunk-slave.xsl

The advantage of the new format is that it handles small screens quite well.
When scrolling, the navigation icons do not move. If the browser window is
small, the size of the icons adjust and the icon text is removed.
We can do this for both LFS and BLFS.
What do you think?

On my netbook (1024x600) in firefox it looked good - just a quick
look, checked glibc in chapter 6 for note and important and I liked
both of those and also the fixed central-ish links to Prev and Next,
but on a desktop (1600x1200 screen, but the firefox window is
something like 1340 pixels wide and 850 high) in the text is *tiny*
and *paler* (light blue instead of dark blue), and selected links
from the index get an indistinct underline instead of changing to a
purple-ish colour.
The headline '5 Constructing a temporary system' now occupies about
63mm of width instead of about 109mm.
My system: 840x1200 pixels (1049x321 millimeters)
93x95 dots per inch
I generally use a window about 950px wide by about 900px highn not
counting menu bars.
On the index line, the 'Constructing...' line is about 300 px. But
that's the same size as the current line. Comparing side-by-side, both
look very close to the same size, but the new version's links are a
slightly less bright blue and do not change after visited.
Similarly, the text on pages for each package is too small (this is
from just opening the page and taking the size as it comes). I guess
that I normally use a bigger font in firefox. The font as-it-comes
is too feint for me on my desktop - if I Ctrl-+ twice to get a bigger
font I can again read it, but the links then all move to the left and
'Prev' and 'Next' (blue) are still faint : from glibc, the text of
the link 'Manpages-4.01' is readable with difficulty, as is the
first line of 'Adjusting the' but 'Toolchain' is on a line below that
and fainter.
I thought all the links *were* on the left! When I go to full screen,
then I see that Next is on the right. I have to go to a window a little
over 1200px wide to get the Next link on the right.
For me, this will make it very hard to use when editing. If I have
the option, NAK to version 1 - I like the new icons, but not the
forced (?) text colours and what seems to be a forced size.
The nice thing about css is that font colors and size are easily changed.
