The new WebKit one looks great! Only things that I though looked better in the others, and if borrowed by the WebKit one would improve it, were: * in the Kmail example, the box around the header: the light brown CSS box with a black border is nice, because it emphasises and distinguishes this crucial who/what/when information. It's also nice to have the subject (the "what") as the very first thing, in bold, with a line underneath it. * The footers from Thunderbird are good, with the "1 of 2" page numbering on the left, and the date of printing on the right. I always want page numbers & page range so that I can make sure I've got all the bits of paper, and got them in order. Date of printing is occasionally handy, but not essential (and if omitted then the page number & range should probably be in the centre of the page). Personally, I don't particularly want the subject in the header of all pages though. * From the Thunderbird one, it's could be good to include the attachments at the end, rather than the start - since they can be unimportant - although it very much depends on the context. * Like the Gmail one, nice to show the number of attachments, such as "Attachments: 3", instead of just "Attachments". All these things are personal preference of course. > You've just invited upon > yourself a bikeshed discussion since everyone and their dog will > have an opinion to offer. Red with black highlights around the door frames! ;-) Seriously though, the feedback I've seen is constructive and genuine and given in good faith, and most of it seems compatible. It's not debate for the sake of debate. -- All the best, Nick. _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
