<div>Hello folks,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I've been playing around with the CSS styles again.</div>
<div>This time I implemented a similar style of the exhibition
page to the homepage at <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://puredata.info" target="_blank">puredata.info</a>.</div>
<div>I also decreased the global page width, and set it and
its position in percentage, which makes it fluid across
different browsers and platforms.</div>
<div>Increased the font-size too.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I don't really like how Plone displays News and Recent
Changes (table, odd and even).</div>
<div>But this is something we could take care later on (if
other ppl is bothered as me).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>NOTE: I think better and bigger images would greatly
enhance the look of the page.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
See the attached screenshot.</div>
<div>First is the style of the other time, the second is a
similar style but without dotted background.</div>
<div>I rather the dotted one.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This time I copied all the modification in css sheet, </div>
<div>__which means that if ppl likes this stuff, I can change
the real CSS and put it on-line__</div>
<div>I could do that between today and tomorrow.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>let me know your thoughts,</div>
<div>and if you have suggestion for the style. </div>
<div>Didn't add the much requested Download button because it
has to be done outside of the CSS.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>cheers,</div>

Bravo Marco, a great improvement over the current state! Great
dots :)<br>
Some minor comments/ideas:<br>
- could you post a screenshot of the footer?<br>
</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
is it possible as well to see a screenshot of some wiki page? or
better to post the css code here as we can apply it locally and
browse everywhere.<br>

<div>- what do you think about making News and Recent Changes
more similar to the menu by adding an internal padding to the
whole containing element, and at the same time, decreasing the
padding/margin of the individual items?<br>
A few humble ideas about the main page:<br>
- the link to the Belorussian translation looks a bit
orphaned, but I don't know where else it could go<br>
</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
i agree, maybe it should move in the documentation section.<br>

<div>- seeing the same "old" screenshots on the opening page is
a waste of prime time space IMHO, because once you took a look
at them you won't use that part of the website anymore<br>
- what do you people think about moving the current content of
the main page to a menu item like "What is Pd?" and filling
the page with more dynamic content? eventually, to fill with
leads of News and Recent Changes items, which could even
eliminate the need of those blocks (News is already on main
page only, Recent Changes appear on some sub pages but not on
each).<br>
</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
That is a very good point ( even if it's not css...), there is no
point of having these blocks on every page. We can imagine a news
listing and a recent changes listing inside the div content, and
make a "about pd" section. ( like <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.blender.org/">http://www.blender.org/</a> )<br>

- if the main page ever gets populated with News et al, it
would be nice to have a cover picture however. Eventually
rotating cover pictures, possibly linked. Maybe a crazy idea,
but wouldn't it make sense to have a carousel-like thing
showing up items from the Exhibition on the main page?<br>
</div>

this is very easy with vimeo, but the problem of the" vimeo video
group" is that it is not based on the same curation limit as for the
exhibition section, people can add their own videos.<br>

- all i currently see when clicking Community is "check out
DevelopmentWiki". Is this a temporary or very necessary state
here?<br>
</div>
</div>
</blockquote>
when you click "development" you mean? This can be normally easily
changed but if Iohannes has done that there must be a reason.<br>
<br>
other comments:<br>
- I think it should be nice to have a large picture header, maybe
something like max has done for vimeo:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://vimeo.com/groups/puredata">https://vimeo.com/groups/puredata</a><br>
it will "keep together" the whole page.<br>
- I find the main content div not large enough<br>
- i find the navigation menu too padded, specially on the left<br>
<br>
tanks for your work,<br>
best,<br>
