Hi,

>> Is there any news on the possibility to reduce the amount of text in the

The chat about this with Jacqueline I had as outcome that it was probably
obliged due to legal constraints or whatever... When possible I also
favour removal.

I also need to adjust the left padding of the text... and indeed, it might
need a little brighter colour, but not too bright, they shouldn't be
disturbing...

Furthermore I saw on a screenshot the left margin should be made fixed,
else some browser called IE might apply some too wide margins...

I will tweak with them a bit more (Suggestions shipped in PNG format are
also welcomed by me... so I don't have to do all tweaking myself ;) )

Different sizing was not a work around, just to make the button stand out
a little more. It can be vertically aligned with the other buttons, but
again, I believe the download button is a very important button and
therefore it's bigger, better positioned and does it have a different
colour...

I think age just means a little bit of background shading... I'm fine with
this.

Completely forgot about that! ;) ... damn, does any one of you have colour
suggestions ;)

I'm also not really sure about it's background, and agree, will try some
other background soon.

Great!

>> P.s. What's up with the eggs in the first place? ;-)

No no no! These are seagull eggs! (the link to the original is in the
html) :D
