Re: GTK+ Website Review - Final Draft

[Bastiaan Veelo <bastiaan sarc nl>]

Hi,

First off: congratulations with a clean site, good first impressions. I 
am not a GTK+ dev, but I happened to see your post and take the liberty 
to share my small comments.

Logo: fresh look, I like it. However, it looks slightly distorted to me, 
if it is supposed to resemble a perfect cube. As you know, all parallel 
lines in a perspective projection share a common vanishing point. This 
seems not to be the case particularly in the upper and lower edges of 
the green front face and the corresponding edges in the back. Also, you 
might want to consider to make the 'invisible' edges not as heavy as the 
others; I suggest to have a little of the face colour mixed in them to 
give them a shine-through appearance.

Banner: is one single PNG. I don't know how much band-width is an issue 
today (it isn't for me) and the file is not very large, but it could be 
reduced more by having the logo and the title in separate PNGs against a 
background gradient.

Lay-out: I personally dislike sites with a fixed page width. I think 
that the ability of browsers to authonomously break lines is one of the 
prime beauties of HTML. It is a lot of scrolling too, as the pages are 
quite narrow. As a user of gtk.org I would really appreciate it if you 
could drop the fixed width :-)

None of these issues should delay the release, they can be adjusted any 
time. And I can help if you want.


Cheers!
Bastiaan.
