So what do people think? How do people feel about:
- the fonts?

The fonts in Joel's version are easier to read, but the Times New Roman font is more "professional".


And if you had to pick one?


- the colors?

I like the blue for the titles in Joel's version. I also like the grey for the programlistings. The syntax hilighting is a great idea, but I am not too keen on the choice of colours.


I tend to agree on that last point. Perhaps we could emulate the default syntax coloring of the VC++ IDE. Would that be better in your opinion?


The tables in Joels version look good, but I am not too keen on using lightskyblue for all of the elements in the table (it's okay for the header elements). I would prefer a light grey for the others.


Not all tables have a header row that should be treated differently than the others. We could pick a color, and then maybe give people a way to mark the first row as the header. Personally, I would be OK with grey as you suggest, or the blue Joel is using.



- the navigation icons?

I don't mind either way on this.


OK.


- the text layout?

I am not sure what I should be commenting on here.


Borders, indenting, spacing, padding, etc. Is there too much space here or not enough there?


- the text justification?

I personally like justified text - on the screen at least. There is a way to to right-justified when printing and justified on the screen:


   @media screen{ body{ text-align: justify; } }
   @media print{ body{ text-align: right; } }


I take it this would be your preference?


You can also wrap the colouring inside the "@media screen" section and get a regular black & white feel for printed HTML.


Agreed. Whatever CSS we use should make the text look nice when printed B&W.
