hello
i have uploaded yet a design (one page) for inspiration/comments, where some of the recent comments has been included.
http://www.bullitt.suite.dk/div/download/binaries.html
very nice!
linux ----- NS4.79 +0.9 (the borders are still missing) konqueror +0.99 (the scrollbar bug is there) opera +1 lynx +0.9 links +1
in lynx the menu is stuck with breadcrumb and the rest, need to do some new lines. (<p>?) also need to do the same before TOP. (lynx is the text browser)
Thomas has already mentioned that mozilla/0.9.7 linux is fine.
All the features are cool (snipped), but these:
- body bgcolor is white (a very light gray might work)
> - no borders around content box and generally more white space
this page design looses the focus of the content box. If you put the older design and this one next to each other, you will probably see that the older one is easier to read.
In fact when I first saw your new design, I didn't like it at all, now I realize that this was because I felt lost in the page. Now I see that it's good, but the content box and contrasting bg are definitely making the pages harder to read.
Take a simple usability test and let someone who is not working on this design to judge, even a non-computer person will do. It's even a better choice. My hunch is that the older design will win. But do try the test.
- menu-text centered (this looks strangely enough better IMO)
I think this is not user-friendly. An English speaking person's eye is accustomed to read left to right, so by centralizing the menu you create an obstacle.
- a dead download widget suggestion, sort of
This steals too much of the vertical space. I think that trying to put the
download widget in the same line with prev|next is a better idea. Also remember that we will have a search link (which will take users directly to the search of the current doc). So I believe that packing these into one widget with big spaces between will make a great navigation function.
[pdf|src] [search] [prev|up|next]
to end my criticism...Great work, Allan! _____________________________________________________________________ Stas Bekman JAm_pH -- Just Another mod_perl Hacker http://stason.org/ mod_perl Guide http://perl.apache.org/guide mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ticketmaster.com http://apacheweek.com http://singlesheaven.com http://perl.apache.org http://perlmonth.com/
