Thanks for the notes. Please help to improve the alignment by pointing what exactly can be aligned better. If you see 2 or 3 pixels misalignment please read the entire email - this is a mockup that even uses uselicensed graphics, btw. There's one font used bitstream vera sans. The content is a copy from the current web site which seems to use bitstream vera serif but hey - this is a mockup - we do not discuss about the body part now. > there are to many elements, especially for > navigation (the apps, the top right menu, device selector and the monitor). Inge can confirm I knew that the 9-apps graphics would be found as the weakest element because it was created for the current calligra.org layout. Imagine a wide rectangular banner there to get the idea what's this area about. One banner per one area (desktop/tablet/etc.) There are 3 navigation levels, as in the well established web standards for this type of a web site (which I repeat: is not a blog).

Good, that's why we are working on that together this early! -- regards / pozdrawiam, Jaroslaw Staniek http://www.linkedin.com/in/jstaniek Kexi & Calligra (kexi-project.org, identi.ca/kexi, calligra-suite.org) KDE Software Development Platform on MS Windows (windows.kde.org) _______________________________________________ calligra-devel mailing list calligra-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/calligra-devel
