Ah, similar type of bar as on the Tcl website. Definitely an improvement. This is exactly the kind of thing that helps, with relatively small effort. I would probably consider a different colour for the Fossil logo (but leave the form as it is). Very difficult to say what colour would work without playing around. Maybe #597d41? Just something to make the page feel a bit more alive. Some gfx guy could even do a bit with the larger logo.. add a bit of border, delicate shading. Some details. The top line could be normal sans serif font, without the italics, and without "Fossil: " (since it's mentioned at the top anyway). Smaller font to get it all on one line. It would also be worth looking at the numbered list of features and to do something different with that. Maybe just each point with a title and paragraph of text: Title with bolded and slightly larger font Main text with normal font. Possibly a bit of an extra padding after the paragraph to visually separate it from the following title. The background of the big Fossil logo box could have a very delicate shade or some colour detailing (again, hard to know without just playing around). Possibly remove the text wrapping from around it, and have effectively two columns: main text and then navi box. Anyway, those are the things I'd probably fiddle around with myself to see where I'd get. Little things make an incredible difference. The tweaks you already did greatly improve it already. So good work on that. -- Kristoffer Lawson, Co-Founder, Scred // http://www.scred.com/ http://travellingsalesman.mobi - 10000km & The world's most arctic startups _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
