Having larger fonts is making my reading experience better. I think in general it is an improvement.
Here are some nitpicks (I'm no web site designer) - feel free to nitpick them too. I'm not convinced about the drop down menus, I tend to visually ignore them, but that may just be me. On http://people.apache.org/~simonetripodi/maven/site/plugins/index.html some links do not have the blue hyperlink underlining but instead have a yellow halo. Looking around some more at http://people.apache.org/~simonetripodi/maven/site/download.html the yellow halo appears to be the style of apt <<< Monospaced >>>> "and must be rendered using a monospaced, typewriter-like font." The halo is drawing my attention to these fields but they aren't visually that important. Generally used for configuration values and what you type etc. Grey text makes me think of disabled text, and this is the style applied to numbered lists. The Installation Instructions section of http://people.apache.org/~simonetripodi/maven/site/download.html is a good example of what I'm talking about. Visually it looks like I should ignore the text (since its grey) with large amounts of text I should pay attention too (because they are haloed). One of my gripes with Confluence is its lack of indentation of heading/subheadings (I've yet to look into whether I can fix that). The old site http://maven.apache.org/what-is-maven.html does have indentation even if the sub headings dont look that great. Whereas the new version http://people.apache.org/~simonetripodi/maven/site/what-is-maven.html just has smaller heading styles. Googling about web design seems to indicate to keep headings to two levels so maybe this is just my problem again :) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
