I'm a little bit uncomfortable with this late reply, but there's too less spare time here at the moment :/. However, here's the suggestion, anncounced several weeks ago. If it's of some interest, I'll take the time and convert (one of) the pictures below to full HTML documents. The designer doesn't speak English very well, so you'll find a translated summary of his comments below. we've tried to combine your suggestion with our first ideas. Currently there are just only pics made by photoshop. <http://test.perlig.de/apdoc/entw2_3.gif> <http://test.perlig.de/apdoc/entw2_5.gif> ---------------------- * Generally this outline(s) are more focussed on the content, so structure and navigation elements go more discrete * site navigation is (as now) top positioned, so there's more space for the content. The sub-structure as suggested seems to be oversized. The reader will mostly read (at least) a whole paragraph, so the links to /every/ sub sub section will less useful and too complex. * the link symbols (arrows) are meant as navigation elements only. They are not intened for links in normal text * One section (including subsections) is the part, that generally should be overviewed by the reader. For this purpose the border in entw2_3 was added. Probably it's a bit oversized. The headings of the subsections should not be so obvious. They are distractive to the reader. For example, if you look at entw2_3 the section heading background is colored blue-gray, any subsection headings then may only be bordered (like in entw2_5 or so) * colors: the colors are derived from the existent and they are mainly intended to reduce the contrast. text color: blue1 (like background in existent) background heading: blue-gray1 (like text, but more gray) -> the text is more colored than the headings thus they don't draw off the attention so much background table heading: blue-gray2 (more bright as blue-gray1) links: blue2 (more a cyan) they shall be recognized clearly, but not become flashy visited links: currently yellow-gray they are just a problem, because they have to be kept in context, have to be less strong as normal links and nevertheless have to be recognized in normal text. Thus it's now this no-color and probably subject to change * the gifs are only outlines (design suggested and commented by Gernot Winkler) ------------------------- nd -- die (eval q-qq:Just Another Perl Hacker :-) # Andr� Malo, <http://www.perlig.de/> # --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
