Hi all, (Andrea, a response to the point you raised is below under proposed HTML changes - please let me know if I've got it right)
In response to the feedback, I have made some further changes to the homepage at test.openoffice.org. You can use http://patentpending.co.nz/openoffice/home.htm as a representation of the initially proposed changes for comparison. The changes are: * Icons: In response to Clément and Christoph's suggestions... The "learn more" action statement now uses the OOo gull icon (instead of the information icon). The "download" action statement uses a down-pointing arrow, and the purple man in the "participate" action statement is now blue. You will probably need to force the page to refresh to see these changes. Another change is that the icons are less faded - their opacity has been increased from 50% to 65%. The down-pointing arrow for the "download" action statement was quickly put together by me - I didn't want to ask Stella to make icons that we might not end up using, so I'm asking for feedback first - the final icon would be more crisp of course. Personally, I don't like the arrow by itself - the icon used to notify users of an update to OOo would be better IMO. I like the original information icon better (with an 'i' instead of the gulls), and would prefer a life buoy for the help icon... does anyone have a 32x32 version of the Tango life buoy icon? I could only find a 24x24 image. * Action Statements - the text colors have been switched - the keywords are darker and everything else is lighter. What do you think - is it better? worse than before? or is it better to have no keyword highlighting at all? * Campaign - the seagull returns, albeit a different design. Do you like the old one better or is this one OK? Are the colors too strong (i.e. should the colors be made lighter)? Now, here is a list of proposed HTML changes: * Adding "for" to label code in minitabs, and alt for the text box under 'Search' to improve accessibility * New download button (Kay, thanks for pointing out that the wrong download.js was being used! No more annoying messages!) * Based on Andrea's request, adding id's to the header - for the OOo logo, we could make it a background image, so that it can be overridden by CSS for local flavors of the logo, and add an empty <a> tag with a specified witdth and height so that the current behavior of clicking on the logo will take you to OpenOffice.org. NL projects could set this to display:none if they don't want such behavior. The positioner could also be given an id so that the default one can be set to display:none on NL pages, and using absolute positioning, they can add their own positioner text through their HTML... ? Once again, your feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks, Ivan. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
