Wow, this discussion has picked up so fast! I have made another update with numerous changes. This will probably be my last 'release', since the other stuff would best be done by the higher-ups, or higher-skilled-than-me people :) Although I'm happy to make additional minor changes.
Anyway, here are the new changes: * The footer should now be flexible (i.e. for shorter pages, it will always appear at the bottom of the screen). I have tested it in IE7, Opera 9 and Firefox 2 on Windows XP. (the code used is similar to this example: http://www.themaninblue.com/experiment/footerStickAlt/good_example_short.htm) * Sun Microsystems & Collabnet logos are in the footer, as well as more smallprint - now the footer is identical in content to the current OOo website. It looks pretty condensed. Is there a possibility that any of the footer content could be reduced? * odd 1px by 1px white dot removed from header image * positioner changed to "your next productivity suite" * tabs (Search | Change Language....) moved to the right and up slightly * wiki tab removed from navbar and support tab added Some potential problems: * the OOo logo is a transparent PNG (done mainly to make things easier, i.e. updating both the background image and the icon for special events/themes) - this could be an issue with IE6 * the footer-resize done above isn't utilizing any hacks to make it work with IE6. Since I don't have IE6, I can't test this. * no tabs will be highlighted in the 'download' section (possibly other action statement linked pages too if they don't have some nearby equivalent in the menu) And finally, what needs to be done: * tab interface needs to be added, or at the very least, a functional search box * could some experienced CSS'ers / people experienced with dealing with the Collabnet system take a look at the CSS and HTML code and make any necessary class name changes, image name changes, CSS optimizations, etc? Download all the relevant files at www.patentpending.co.nz/openoffice/openoffice.zip * everything except the footer links and the first action statement (linked to why.openoffice.org) are not linked in - I see this has been brought up in the discussion, so whoever makes the decision can update it or post where each link should point. Maarten, I tried moving the content right so that it was aligned with the positioner and it looked bad to me - feel free to tweak the design's margins/paddings since you probably know much more about grid layouts than me (I know very little about them).
