I think we will need to rethink the complete banner part (at some time). I mean we don't should do a removal or something like that of the existing banner itself, but we need to think about what needs to be done to have also a good starting page on the now present mobile devises like smartphones and tablets. A static graphic has it's limitations here, we will probably need to play around with some possibilities. Ideally the text "The universal operating system" is added not within the graphic but by a webfont so it is not a graphic in the end. The text needs to be visible on right side of the swirl and should be handled dynamically by the size of the underlying banner. The size of the banner need to be also handled and driven dynamically by the available place on the device on the user side. Also the swirl should be dynamically resized based on the height of the banner. On screens with a lesser size (or resized screens) the text need to flow under the swirl. This should be all possible by CSS rework and looking at existing banners elsewhere should give also some hints. But I also must admit I see such points as some of the not so important things we need to solve in a first place as working on CSS here is heavily interacting with some other needed CSS work on the new planned design. I fear any work here is probably not usable later and by this is quite useless burned energy. I'm really not satisfied with the progress we've made since the talking about a more modern web design and hope we can work further on this all while DC19 with some outcome. -- Regards Carsten Schoenert
