new website....

Make the package viewer the same colors as the update box.

"ArchLinux.org needs a javascript doggy running across the page and a pimpin' midi soundtrack. That would be totally 1337"--Me

thegnu · 2006-07-13 17:00:31

Oh, and I like it. It's elegant. The thin, light borders around text boxes are nigh on invisible, since my monitor's really over-gamma'd (sp?) because it's a pile-o-crap (spuh?) LCD. But then, I would need to get the entire internet to redesign their sites, not just archlinux.org. When I get my second LCD, I'm demoting my Rosewill.

kensai · 2006-07-13 17:36:42

Well I like the new style of the forums. Is good to have a consistent design all over arch Linux. Now Arch weekly news and AUR sites are left to be changed. Keep up the good work.

jb · 2006-07-13 17:36:59

AHHH!

I opened up a thread in the forum and the layout changed on me!

Looks alright, no strong opinion either way.

thegnu: if you have an nVidia GPU and its proprietary driver installed, you can tweak the gamma value for your monitor in the settings page. I know, I suffer from the same over-gamma problem with my LCD.

It looks goodand it is valid under XHTML Strict... I like this website.

Blind · 2006-07-14 13:24:01

I have to say that I really like the layout.
However (hehe). You use 'tabs' for forum/wiki/etc. It would be nice to assign to the 'tabs' the use they are made for and be able to see the tabs everywhere.
It really annoys me, that there doesnt seem to be a unfied way to get back to the homepage - this is especially true for the wiki. Once you have looked up something in the wiki, you need to do whatever to get back to the forum or wherever (can anybody still follow my confusing words?).
AND...dtw could remove the buttons from the forum....
But that's just my 5c.
I am blind anyway

Chman · 2006-07-14 13:48:09

Just to say that I really like the new look, it's very calm & peaceful (love the colors).

lumiwa · 2006-07-14 13:56:50

I like new site but there are some problem.
I am at work now and I use windows. I don't know if this is a problem but on Windows I don't see new files for update. Explorer doesn't show.
There are also problem with Konqueror - it doesn't rise firs page (other I didn't try).

sven · 2006-07-15 10:23:26

I got an idea - why not add a javascript snippet to frontpage that would always take the cursor to package search field, like Google has it.

It doesn't what? :?

paranoos · 2006-07-15 20:07:08

the new site has a new favicon. i'm talking about the icon you see in the address bar / bookmarks / tabs.

this is the one being used now:

i'd prefer the smoother looking blue one (the one used in the header):

wouldn't this one look much nicer? i think so.

I am so sorry. It happened on my system: when I change size of Konqueror, Arch page doesn't resize correct. And for example:
" 2006-07-10

Part of above text is in Realise part...

Gullible Jones · 2006-07-15 22:13:47

Oh, I get it... I'll have to see how it works with Konq at some point.

BTW, there is one tab missing... Art!

Blind · 2006-07-18 12:39:52

Did anybody read my post - or was it planned?
Super cool changes with the tabs - AUR and Forum to go

Congrats, guys!

It was planned and has been for sometime. The forum is most of the way there - see the announcements section.

Blind · 2006-07-18 13:04:28

couldn't imagine it being different
my bad, dtw, i am not a big announcement reader
now I see
anyways, great job!

Well, at least you do your name justice...

Blind · 2006-07-19 12:47:33

*muahaha*
yup.
Anyways, sometimes

I will catch something:
the Wiki tab shows some problem on the main page. The links

are not in the correct position (at least with firefox).
Cheers,

I think for usability sake and also to help those who's primary language is not english, the link to download Arch should be labeled just that, "Download", and not "Get it!" as it took even me a good minute to figure out where the download links had gone. It's not very prominent...or intuitive.

Yeah, and I think Get It!. Isn't as professional neither.

benplaut · 2006-07-24 03:45:04

another vote for art to come back

baze · 2006-07-24 08:03:26

art is there... it's just not in the tabs. scroll down a bit and you find "Logos & Artwork" under "Support Arch:".
i don't think it needs to be as a tab at the top of the page.
