 New Comment:

Thanks for that comparison tuxedobob it shows exactly why my own situation is 
so badly affected by these changes. The colours are only part of the problem. I 
use a desktop which covers two monitors and normally have the 'help' screens on 
the left, so on the old setup the navigation was nicely out of the way on the 
left, but now it's twice as wide slap bang in the middle. Swapping screens over 
does not work because I just get a blank grey area instead ... even after 
disabling the site font for a wider profile one.

Blog post you have mentioned was related to much bigger revolution few months 
ago. We basically replaced our old theme existing since 90's. I'm not sure what 
changes you consider to be a new layout. You can always provide us some 
feedback via [email protected]. Just, please, make it more 
constructive than just word "awful".

Regards,
Maciej.

I don't know what you mean by "pop." Are you referring to the coloring switch 
where the examples have an actual white background, while the rest of the 
content is light gray? Because personally, I find reading dark gray (#333) on 
light gray (#f2f2f2) is less readable than simply #fff on #000.

Lacking a better place, I'll leave this feedback:

1. The list of functions for a class should be on the left side, not the right. 
The left side is where the (rest of) the navigation is, and having this one 
navigation element in a completely different place makes the site less usable.

2. I seem to recall the navigation tree being larger and more prominent (and 
therefore, easier to find and click on).

3. Overall, there just seems to be a lot of wasted whitespace (grayspace?) in 
the new layout. Compare http://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.modify.php to 
http://web.archive.org/web/20110717093525/http://www.php.net/manual/en/datetime.modify.php.
 So much more information fits in the browser window with the earlier layout. 
The blocks of color serve to separate logical areas of the document.

I mean, don't get me wrong, the new layout is certainly "modern." It looks as 
though it just walked out of someone blog or WordPress site, but I don't think 
that's what you were going for. (Or is it?)

That post was for a different layout back in November. The widget has been 
removed.

Also, you hate the awful layout/theme but inwardly you like the 'pop' that 
examples and function declarations have, don't you?

widget. There isn't.

I expected a feedback widget.

Actual result:

There isn't one.
