I agree that a contrasting background works well, but my personal preference would lean towards a lighter background rather than a darker one. :: Well, I beg your pardon, but both fixed size fonts :: approaches are simply :: wrong. What if I'm almost blind and I need to have huge :: fonts? What if I :: want to squeeze as much text as I can in one page, and want :: to use the :: smallest readable fonts? If you go with fixed fonts you go :: against user. I didn't think of that - you're quite right. Relative sizes are easily implemented in CSS and we should definitely do this. :: IMHO, using relative sizes: +1, -1, +3, etc. is the right :: way to go. No :: cross-platform headaches and heated discussions about :: picking 'pt' ve :: 'px'. While I'm not a designer, I've happened to design a few sites :: which forced me to read a lot on design issues, and that's :: one of the :: first things that you learn. You don't "sell" your product for win95 :: user with IE4, you "sell" it to tens of platforms, with hudreds of :: browsers which half of them are broken (not following standards) I agree in theory. The reality is somewhat different though - the statistics lean towards IE and NS almost exclusively. However, this is the whole point of a 100% standards compliant website - which our intrepid designers have all worked so hard to achieve. We could say, "the mod_perl website is 100% standards compliant - if it doesn't display correctly in your browser, then contact your vendor" - but do we really want to do this? I have my opinion (which you all know by now :-) ), what does everyone else think? :: That's what I've in the current guide, but after talking to :: the authors :: I've simply linked to their sites which provide the links to the :: associated programs. +1 :: I guess we could run another contest on the modperl list, but if you :: want to do that please someone take the lead of this task :) [re: new mod_perl logo] Anyone against me managing this? :: huh, this png won't load in mozilla. ... then contact your vendor! :-) Stas, I've converted this to JPEG and it's available at: http://wypug.digital-word.com/miscellaneous/mysql_logo.jpg :: > Along these lines, perhaps we could also come up with a :: tag line (like :: > MySQL's "Speed, Power and Precision" - http://www.mysql.com/)? :: :: yet another idea for a wider forum contest ;) Sure - but let's get the website finalised first eh? ;-) Jonathan M.
