I love the secondary scroll bar. It allows a larger amount of content to
fit into a small space. I did add a "more news" link to the area. That

Thanks for all the feedback, folks; I have to admit that was a bit
overwhelming. I've read through it all, and have tried to digest it, below.
But I think there is a strong sense here that no one likes a web site

The new user-centric design looks promising. Contrary to some others I
quite like the round corners and more modern look. Here are a few
observations:
- Light gray text on a white background is not so nice.
- I thought it was called "Wine" and not "WINE" now. Shouldn't the

Agreed. We should have a separate news page. It could probably

It's looking pretty good, but I think that the one at
http://caih.org/wine/WineHQ.html is a little better. What I really don't
like about them is that everything's a bit too rounded, which looks a
little tacky. The icons, tabs, and white backgrounds could all be
squarer. Also, the icons and lin
There's a lot of talk going on here about "User focus" which is
absolutely great. In the 15 years of Wine development, we've accrued
quite a large user base (myself included; I've never even written a
patch for Wine, and only started using Wine 5-6 years ago). Perhaps

The Wine design would focus more on users. The 'banner' would be about running
your Windows programs on Linux/FreeBSD/Mac and would mention office apps, games
and so on. The highlights would show features e.g. support for Win3.1-XP,
DirectX capability and so on.

Hi all,
I'm really excited about the new redesign effort.
Overall the first attempt seemed more consistent.
I like the vertical alignment more.
I've got troubles to get oriented in the second attempt.
Black background of search dialog seems more consistent with the page style.

I like the new style however I can't help but feel that:

1) nested scrollbars are evil. Better to put the news on its own tab,
lose the little sidebar the news was in,
