We do have HTML: http://wyrfel.reukauf.com/hosting/OOo/playground/ http://patentpending.co.nz/openoffice/ As to visual design, Randy brought this proposal in, and it also demonstrated his marketing element, which I think we all liked. http://www.alpinecom.net/~fission1/OOo/cotm2.html I think Andre's proposal is now most up to date when it comes to the HTML version, but it should integrate some of Randy's design. That is: - The marketing promotion box - In footer, mouse over should go to blue (I think I would leave it grey in default state) - I'm pitnicking, but could we try to align the text with the start of "Office" in our logo, so move the content about 20px to the right? I thought Randy's proposal was a balanced, but the empty space to the right of the logo looks rather weird. Kind of obsolete, because Andre's solution for the tabs is much cleaner, there is also: http://murb.nl/extern/openoffice.org/2008redesign/ Reason for still mentioning: * Demonstration of yet another aligment (not the one I've proposed just a few lines above) of aligning content with logo * Contains a bit of javascript to open Download on click, but only limited, and maybe, a :hover solution, like Andre did with the tabs again, is also preferred here, both for clarity, and ease of use, and cleanness in code. (which indeed does still require a workaround for IE6); see below for pseudo-css. * Is XHTML valid, I believe it is unacceptable to use invalid xhtml (including block elements within a line element) for promoting a product that is promoting a single document standard. For the non JS version, two <a />'s should work as well. Pseudo CSS for opening the action statements (possibly only Download), as mocked up here: http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/mwiki/images/d/d3/Murb_homepageproposal1_homepage_download.png #homeoptions { color: black; } #homeoptions:hover { color: grey; ] #homeoptions ul li { color: inherit; } #homeoptions ul li #downloadmore { /* currently there is no <div id="downloadmore" />, but that should contain the download button and other links... */ display: none; } #homeoptions ul li:hover { color: black; } #homeoptions ul li:hover #downloadmore { display: block; } > > Which brings me to...any idea when this might be? ;} > Ivan, do you have CVS access to the website? If not, see: http://www.openoffice.org/scdocs/ddSSHGuide.html (yet another page that could be improved, but since it is not end-user no priority) g., Maarten --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
