Interesting work Arshad, like Oleg I'm not fond of the "hiding" of the Jenkins
logo as a watermark either, but here's some (hopefully) more constructive
criticisms:

 * The text capitalization on the button in the top-nav and the main carousel
   don't make sense to me. It looks to me like everything .btn has a
   capitalization. Why? All capitalized letters always looks aggressive to me,
   because this style is applied to all the buttons there are multiple
   "aggressive" buttons jumping out at me.

 * Return of dropshadows. I explicitly removed drop shadows around the feature
   list and the "Getting Started" cards because they're not buttons. To me the
   visual cues are totally backwards here, buttons which are clickable are
   flat, but cards which are not clickable are "raised" visually through drop
   shadows. There's also a hover shadow change I noticed on the blog entries on
   the homepage which is unnecessary since the whole area isn't clickable.

 * Colors: I don't know if this is the screencast or not, but it appears that
   all colors have a 25-50% opacity black layer above them. As in, everything
   appears darker than what is currently on jenkins.io. If this was
   intentional, I don't see what benefit it provides. In some places, like the
   Getting Started cards, background colors disappeared removing any visual
   distinction between sections (feature list verus getting started).




So those things I don't like, but the footer improvements and the popover
improvements I would love to see as standalone pull requests so they can be
merged.
