That is true, though I do have a few reasons for keeping 'em big: - I think the composition works better with it being a half or a third of the height of the sand-color banner. - potentially, a second layer of links could be introduced. (Though in general I shy away from multi-level top-level links as over-engineered, unless the site is really complex, which it's not.) - on other pages, e.g. the docs, I'm considering having the logo in the dark banner (at the same x-pos). This would require some space. - last but not least, it's the web, not paper, and we have all the space we want for free! > I would be nice to see a mouckup of one page from the language reference > and one from the library reference, for example: > > http://d-programming-language.**org/lex.html<http://d-programming-language.org/lex.html> > http://d-programming-language.**org/phobos/std_string.html<http://d-programming-language.org/phobos/std_string.html> I'll come up with those when I stop playing around with Inkscape, and mock up in HTML/CSS.
