I will like to test it more with different setups, but I think you can commit this. At that stage I think we should also reconsider the black border for the target text. I know Dwayne wanted that one, so perhaps he would still like the dark border back for the source! Let's see. Looking great anyway.

I agree about the monospace font. The screen: 24 inches @ 1920x1200, but using only 1250px for the browser :P >> In Virtaal we are only showing it if >> there are no developer comments. > > I know that one can hide stuff using CSS, but is it possible to build > evaluations into a style sheet (i.e. if dev comment = none then set loc > comment = do display)? This isn't done through CSS but directly from Python or even JavaScript is possible (not so nice though). >> Can we try with a lighter background colour for the source texts? > > I agree for a slightly lighter background colour. I see we all agree with this and that the third one is the best choice :) More screenshots: - lighter background: http://xs137.xs.to/xs137/09133/thick6135.png - lighter background and smaller font for locations: http://xs137.xs.to/xs137/09133/thick7872.png > I think I've missed the initial posts of this thread -- is this about > creating skins for Pootle or will these styles be hard-coded? No, this thread has born after an IRC conversation -- therefore, nothing you've missed. These styles will be included right in the CSS, so any Pootle admin can edit them (unfortunately there's no easy way to support skins right now). Thanks for your input !

The thing is that the screenshot was taken on a screen with a very high resolution viewed at full screen width. This means that there is lots of space. When viewed on a lower resolution (eg a laptop with a more squarish screen) or not in full screen width (eg if the user doesn't maximise his browser windows), the layout is likely to look more crowded.

I know that one can hide stuff using CSS, but is it possible to build evaluations into a style sheet (i.e. if dev comment = none then set loc comment = do display)? > Can we try with a lighter background colour for the source texts? I agree for a slightly lighter background colour. I think I've missed the initial posts of this thread -- is this about creating skins for Pootle or will these styles be hard-coded?

My vote is also with this one. I agree with Alaa that we should try a smaller font for the location comments. I think it is looking large since it uses a monospaced font. In Virtaal we are only showing it if there are no developer comments. Even then we are only showing the first three (if I remember correctly). Should we try something similar? Can we try with a lighter background colour for the source texts? I think the test screenshot should also include XML markup and/or escapes since they are not shown as black. This way we can make sure that the contrast between the text and the background is high. Obviously we want things as accessible as possible. Just some ideas...

[translate-pootle] styling of the new translate page
Hi people, I've been playing a little bit with the styling of the new translate page and I'd like to hear from you in order to get a better workplace for all the Pootle users. I have three screenshots to show you. The first one is the current styling on trunk: http://xs137.xs.to/xs137/09132/thick5250.png Which I think it has too thick borders. So here we have a modification: http://xs137.xs.to/xs137/09132/thick2951.png And a third screenshot, with a small change not to give so much importance to the location comments: http://xs137.xs.to/xs137/09132/thick4732.png So please, let me know what do you think about this and don't hesitate to post and discuss any ideas you have!
