Re: [Xenomai-core] Official logo
Hi Dmitry, first of all and before I answer each one of your points, you have to know that I used for the website a CMS called Joomla. The template has been found on Internet in order to save time on webdesign which requires real design skills. My goal was to set up a, let's say, enough good looking website as soon as possible. That said, CMS have their advantages as well as drawbacks in the sense that they are not always very easy to customize. Of course it is just PHP combined with HTML but it takes time to tune everything because web technologies suck :) You change one little thing here and the whole layout of the page is messed up (and I don't even talk about the different versions of browsers !) So let's examine the points now : On 11/16/05, Dmitry Adamushko [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Bruno,I have a few remarks on the new web-site :)- lots of blank space at the bottom/left/right side of the page (width isabout 3 cm. approx.) err.. is it really necessary (functionality ordesign-wise)? ok, it's difficult to argue on the design side since it's, well, very subjective :) On the left: it depends on the length of the header of the article, sorry but can't do anything about that beside resizing the whole table. Is it really disturbing ? On the right side, it is normal because this area is reserved for adding logos, special ads etc. It is not used at the moment. All in one: yes you may be right and I guess I could get rid of this area and resize then the whole thing to avoid blank areas. - Main menu is not that easily accessable. e.g. I need to scroll the page a bit down in order to get access to the login form or even (when my mozillahas a personal toolbar switched on) - to the Development Source Codesub-menu Don't really understant that one ! I use a laptop with 15in screen and don't have this problem. What screen size and resolution do you use ? As far as I am concerned, the whole website is visible on an entire page. - default font is too small and a bit faded (grey on white background or white on gray one) I used the template as it is (I didn't change the CSS). I trust webdesigners for that and I'm not sure black fonts would look any better. I can try though. - Opera and Mozilla show some news/topic headers adjusted differently.Actually, everything is left-adjusted with Mozilla and some parts are centered with Opera, e.g. it may look like:HomeXenomai v2.0.1Written by AdministratorSunday, 13 November 2005Ok, it's not that important and likely easily fixable. I didn't try the website on all browsers. I will have a look at this particular point. - the picture of sky with Real-Time framework for Linux and NewsFlash boxtake too much space (almost a whole bottom half of the page). I would not saythat part is so informative and so deserves that amount of space. Again, the template has been designed by professionals, some people may like it others don't ;) The most important thing is that the load time has to be short. As far as the size is concerned, I don't want to change it at the moment since the banner will for sure be redesigned in the near future (just need the idea for that). I guess we can make it a bit smaller then. that's what I have in my mind at the moment :o) Thanks for the remarks. Regards, Bruno---Best regards,Dmitry

On the frontpage there is a boc with welcome to Xenomai and in the bootom of this box there is a link saying read more but when following this link i get the same text as is in the frontpage bax, only now on its own page. My point being, that there is no more to read. And a socond thing that I guess is not Your task. I would really like to se some description on the skin concept. -- Med venlig hilsen/mojn/regards Martin Hansen Center for Software Innovation Stenager 2, DK-6400 Sønderborg, Web: www.cfsi.dk

Hi all, is the Xenomai logo on Bruno's site now the one going to be official? No objections from my side (as I said: I like it), just to avoid confusions. If so, Bruno, do you have some vector graphic version at hand? EPS, SVG, whatever? Thanks, Jan signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
