[PD] Editing CSS style, make pd.info better? [WAS: puredata.info site design provocation]

[Marco Donnarumma]

Hello folks,

I've been playing around with the CSS styles again.
This time I implemented a similar style of the exhibition page to the
homepage at puredata.info.
I also decreased the global page width, and set it and its position in
percentage, which makes it fluid across different browsers and platforms.
Increased the font-size too.

I don't really like how Plone displays News and Recent Changes (table, odd
and even).
But this is something we could take care later on (if other ppl is bothered
as me).

NOTE: I think better and bigger images would greatly enhance the look of
the page.

See the attached screenshot.
First is the style of the other time, the second is a similar style but
without dotted background.
I rather the dotted one.

This time I copied all the modification in css sheet,
__which means that if ppl likes this stuff, I can change the real CSS and
put it on-line__
I could do that between today and tomorrow.

let me know your thoughts,
and if you have suggestion for the style.
Didn't add the much requested Download button because it has to be done
outside of the CSS.

cheers,
Marco
