462993 2006-06-14 08:50:00 The new theme for the Wiki (http://faqf1.dannz.net) has been uploaded. What are your thoughts / suggestions? Please be merciless, this is only the first version and your comments will help improve it :) Note that you will need to be logged out to see it - editors still get the default monobook theme.

Can't fault it really

462995 2006-06-14 09:13:00 Really don't like the red banner across the top. It sticks out like a sore thumb. Perhaps a blue or green colour would be better? The navigation links along the top are unevenly spaced as well and kind of looks squashed up there (Firefox using 1280x1024). I like the F1 background image. :) Jen (38)
462996 2006-06-14 09:23:00 The navigation links along the top are unevenly spaced as well and kind of looks squashed up there.Cheers. The nav links were intended to be unevenly spaced (in sections) - do they need to be more clearly separated?. What are your thoughts on the spacing at 800*600? I was trying to support all resolutions from that upwards, but if I can get away with not doing so I can space them out more. Erayd (23)
462997 2006-06-14 09:31:00 Ah I see! Well personally I think they would look better moved futher apart. Get rid of the Random link as that isn't really applicable for the FAQ wiki, keep the Main Page and FAQ List on the left with the rest further to the right. Just my opinion. :2cents:

I think considering most people now have a minimum of 1024x768 the site should be optimised for that. :)

462998 2006-06-14 09:34:00 OK, will do. Cheers for the feedback.

Random link removed. The spacing will be updated next time the stylesheet is replaced (the links can be edited from within MediaWii, the stylesheet can't :( )

462999 2006-06-14 09:59:00 I quite like the theme. Might I suggest that you change the tiled image to FAQF1 rather than just F1. Would suggest you keep optimisation for an 800x600 page. This is because some people don't have the latest hardware and scrolling can be a pain for some.

If they want help and some info is missing because video drivers are missing then they will not see it if they don't know about horizontal scroll bars.

Keep up the good work. Long overdue and thanks.

463000 2006-06-14 10:08:00 Either lighten the red or change the colour of the text at the top. Or both.
The F1 text that is set as the background makes the site seem rather amateurish.

463001 2006-06-14 10:35:00 The F1 text that is set as the background makes the site seem rather amateurish.Removed. I think the red should stay though - I'm trying to keep parity with PressF1. Erayd (23)
463002 2006-06-14 14:32:00 Can't say I like it. Best word that comes to mind is "clunky". And somehow the red bar looks, umm, too red. Maybe soften it somewhat?

I'd slim the table a bit to say 800 pixels or so.
