The menu looks almost like it did before, so if it's cleaner "behind the scenes", that's great! :) Your new HTML seems to have less padding around the menu entries. IMHO a little more, especially to the left of the menu entries, wouldn't hurt. > 2. The colors [1]. This is just a suggestion and not related directly to > the othere changes in the menu. This is of course very much a matter of personal preferences, but here's my 2¢: - Overall: Looks pretty cool! - The blue of the links is "too blue" compared to the grey-blue of the navbar/menu. Maybe try making it a fairly dark blue. - The pink of hovered-over links is completely out of place! - The white hover colour for the menu entries is too light. It should be a light blue, so that the effect is comparable to the colour change in the navbar - There is too much blue, there urgently needs to be some red in the main part of the page, also to balance the red from the Debian logo and the "select a server". As for the last point, here are some suggestions on how to give a warmer colour to some parts of the main content: - Add an ornamental, slim vertical red bar at the very left or right of the page, over the entire page height - Make <hr> red - Make the font colour for <h1> etc a very dark red - Make the background of <h1> etc a very light pink (dunno, might look stupid! :-) - Add a background image with some light red in it, for example a faint, very large, blurred Debian logo. > [1] We need a nice color scheme fitting to the logo colour and the > color of the CD logo. I am sure a designer can do that better than > me. Anybody knowing someone volunteering to do that for free? WRT the CD logo, I'd first come up with a nice overall colour scheme and then adapt that logo. Um, I love to play with colours and to design web pages - BUT unfortunately I've learned that it can be very frustrating to try to satisfy a large audience... no matter what you come up with, someone will call it BS. FWIW, my designs usually also involve a little more ornamental graphics (background, icons etc), not sure if this would be welcome.
