Hi Tim and everyone else following the Look & Feel progress, So, as Dave said, we are working on basically 3 proposals for *Look & Feel*based on the same content structure/architecture:
1. TIM<http://samoff.maemobox.org/maemo_redesign/samoff-maemo.org-redesign_idea_0009b-loggedout.png> 2. ANDRE: Dark <http://openbossa.andrecunha.com/HOMEB.jpg> / Light <http://openbossa.andrecunha.com/HOME5.jpg>3. GLAUBERT<http://wiki.maemo.org/images/0/08/HOME_06.png> Following the dark/white discussion, I proposed a new version (Light) of my previous proposal just changing the colors while I was waiting for todays meeting. I agree with what was previously said that the white backgrund offer a more comfortable experience for longer periods of usage. Then, why did I made the color modifications in my previous layout instead of reworking the latest proposals made by Glaubert, as requested by Tim? Its simply because I still think that: - in this layout <http://openbossa.andrecunha.com/HOME5.jpg> "Clicable areas" are well defined in the middle of the content (in your proposal aswell, but not here <http://wiki.maemo.org/images/0/08/HOME_06.png>) - Titles/text/links are big enough for reading anywhere (desktops, tablets...) and they are easily identified. Almost every text is displayed in size 14pt, which I think is clear enough for tablets too. - content areas are well separeted but still not leaving many blank spaces. - the color scheme has lots of contrasts which brings out the texts Thats it, since content is pretty much forzen within all the options, those are some design critheria I considered important. Hope to see more versions.. Thanks!
