For me the project did not change since the begining.

As I already said I'm not against fixing Tryton's image as soon as it is just a fix. So removing the gradient seems logical as we have too much support on which it doesn't work. But I'm against big change in the Tryton's image without good reason. > > > > but at the same time we are not afraid of change if we see it > > > as an improvement.

It is quite a radical change. No, it doesn't change the way the search works.

Of course, so why do you want to change the Tryton's visual image to include a new color? > 2) We shouldn't avoid of doing stuffs because they are difficult. Especially, I fight because it is too easy to change. It is more difficult to have a clear vision for the long term and it is what I want to have for Tryton. > > I don't want that the Tryton project has the > > image (like some others follow my eyes) to change everything on each > > releases.

I think you are underestimate the impact of adding a new color to the visual image of Tryton. Perhaps I'm not clear enought about my concern on a new color. I'm not against having other colors in the Tryton website, we already got somes. For example the news box for RSS feeds but it is different of the one of "Tryton Store". This is right because they have different semantic/purpose. But the current proposal adds a new color all over the website (if I understand it well), so such design makes this color full part of the visual image of Tryton. -- Cédric Krier B2CK SPRL Rue de Rotterdam, 4 4000 Liège Belgium Tel: +32 472 54 46 59 Email/Jabber: [email protected] Website: http://www.b2ck.com/
