Re: ANN: Django website redesign launched

The new Design looks great! Awesome job! One thing I really like about https://docs.python.org/3/ is the ability to show/hide the side bar. The new design features a very large sidebar, being able to toggle it would be awesome. Also as previously mentioned trac doesn't look right yet. On Tues

Looks nice to me. Pardon me please for being naive, but will the fonts, colours, and layouts be ported to the Django app itself? That is, will the new layout and colour scheme be available to my Django 1.7 app if I were to do the following? $ pip install Django --upgrade John -- You receive

Re: ANN: Django website redesign launched

For the Documentation, one suggestion I have is that the body font that’s more different from the source code font. It looks like you’re using Roboto (a Helvetica clone) for the body text and Incosolota for the source code. They’re a little too similar. Also, Roboto isn’t a good font for descr

I don't like the new design. Subjective flaws: too much space wasted, childish style (I exclusively use PCs to access the web). Objective flaws: fonts look ugly, with unclear edges and weird shapes in the "w" letter ( in my Windows XP with Firefox and Chrome). Marcelo 2014-12-17 10:28 GMT-03:0

I second Rakan's suggestion regarding the use of logos. Here's a perfect example of the concept (and how effective it is): http://www.pylonsproject.org/ On Wed, Dec 17, 2014 at 2:04 PM, Rakan Alhneiti wrote: > > God job everyone! > > Do you think the Overview page

God job everyone! Do you think the Overview page should have the logos of the "Sites using Django"? it would be more visually appealing, in addition, people might be more aware of the logos than just plain names. What do you think? Best Regards, Rakan

Dear Django community, I would like to congratulate you very much for this. I'm very pleased to see that the work in Django is much better presented to the world, which I think we all agree is an important component of the project. Generally speaking, I like very much the overall look and feel

Re: ANN: Django website redesign launched

The new web design look really modern, clean and nice. Something I would suggest is to reduce the "Smartphone feeling" on desktop computers. For example, I have a 26" monitor, and in the "Overview" page I can not look at the 5 overview points at the same time. I need to keep scrolling up and down.

Re: ANN: Django website redesign launched

I am inclined to agree that a site should try and look the same on all devices (in terms of color/contrast etc) but this simply isn't possible in the real world. The majority of users do not calibrate their equipment, and even when they do, the result will vary massively depending on the quality of

Personally I really like it. The footer menu contrast is a little bright with the white/light green, however it's worth noting that the color/contrast experience will vary depending on what equipment your using. Typically if a site has been designed on an Apple Thunderbolt/MBP Retina display, then

Re: ANN: Django website redesign launched

Somehow I hate it. The website is the worst website I've seen since a long time. The contrast is really aweful. The issue Tracker got unusable due to the colors that aren't focused on readability. Overall it looks like a mess, just to have a new design. Doesn't look like a designer or a graphic g

Good work, it looks a lot cleaner. However: In the documentation, the page title "Documentation" always used to link back to the index page for the current documentation version. Now it appears there is only a link in the "You are here" section of the sidebar? The cleaner look makes much less in
