Redesign of the www.rockbox.org front page
macku:
@BdN3504: Nice work. Could you try to add small black/dark grey glow to players?

I think this task is not for me. I just created layout that include elements mentioned on first post of this topic.
--- Quote from: Zagor on April 21, 2009, 08:49:06 AM ---2. Why is there a left-side menu in wiki? And why the heavy bottom blob?
--- End quote ---
This menu was created before top dropdown menu. I can cut it away. Todo // Edit: by blob you mean? Please make screenshot and mark it.
--- Quote from: Zagor on April 21, 2009, 08:49:06 AM ---3. Can we combine the css files into one? Or at least clearly describe how they are logically separated. I don't want to search for classes in three files.
--- End quote ---
There will be only two css files: main and for wiki. Main have almost all rules. reset.css will join to main. rockbox2.css is only for the second font page. wiki.css will be added only to wiki pages.
Css (and also JS) files are compressed now. I have sources files with comments inside.
--- Quote from: Zagor on April 21, 2009, 08:49:06 AM ---4. The white-on-lightgray top menu is still too discrete. It blends in with the browser chrome and I think many people will have trouble finding it.

Better proposition? Black? What then with black Rockbox logo?
--- Quote from: Zagor on April 21, 2009, 08:49:06 AM ---5. The heavliy antialiased G-clef favicon is pretty, but it's not *our* G-clef. Our clef is derived from the Rockbox logo. I'd like to keep that.
--- End quote ---
No problem to change at all. Todo.
--- Quote from: Zagor on April 21, 2009, 08:49:06 AM ---6. I'd like to shrink som of the vertical spacing. Especially the white field feels a bit too far spaced.
--- End quote ---
To much margin. Todo.
--- Quote from: Zagor on April 21, 2009, 08:49:06 AM ---7. I too prefer version 2 with the columns instead of rows. But the links are positioned asymmetrically. "Feature comparison" and "FAQ" should be side by side.
--- End quote ---
Just text. Can be edited. // Edit: my mad, wrong margins here.
--- Quote from: Zagor on April 21, 2009, 08:49:06 AM ---8. The wiki text size is too small. Wiki is very text focused and must be easy to read.
9. The font size is different in different browsers, caused by specifying font size in 'em' rather than 'px'.

Todo.
As all of you choose second version of front page, I think we have a *winner*. Thanks for comments and cooperating ;)
// Edit:
Todo done
About fonts size. I checked it ones again on different browsers. On FF, Opera, Chrome and IE8 size is the same. Mismatch occur only on IE7.
DancemasterGlenn:
Has everyone else clicked the "subversion" link at the top? It's beautiful.
Is there a need for a "Home" button when the logo at the top left could possibly be made clickable? That may not be desired, though.
soap:
My wife is not web-savvy, or else I would enlist her, but I don't think the link to the forums is obvious enough.
Perhaps we could ask non-Rockbox'd friends to load said page with the intention of going to the forums and see how frustrated (or not) they get?

Not really an RSS feed like the icon implies though.....

Might I make a suggestion?
When moused over, the buttons light up in a pretty yellow color, and the selected button is black/dark gray. Why not have the buttons yellow all the time, (except the selected one), and then just have the menu drop down when moused over? IMO the gray color blending with the browser is not a problem, but making the buttons stand out a bit more would be good.
And having the Rockbox logo clickable for home page is a good idea.
