Redoing the mainpage
I really like the draft, except for the upper left part (the one in green text). It just seems a bit too "shouty" if you know what I mean... Maybe try to tone it down i little bit.
Otherwise, the big footer with the icons is really nice, and i also really like the upper right part.
The shouty part will stay. This is one of the best aspects of the new main page proposal. Elements that call to action are a must if that is what you want (effective buttons 101).
When viewed through IE8 a green button looks strange - see screenshot http://s001.radikal.ru/i196/1004/ae/e7eee96ac457.jpg And I do not fully understand where to migrate the current multilanguage MainPage content?
You appear to be watching it in Monobook skin. That's not our default skin; in Modern - as well as in Vector - it looks just fine. I've tried to reproduce this with Monobook in both IE8 and Firefox 3.6, but neither browser shows the dents that are visible on the screenshot...
The multilanguage main page that we currently have will be obsolete and require retranslation for the new main page. The multi language component has not been implemented yet, but will be as soon as or before it goes live.
I'm sorry, very important detail: my screen resolution is 1680x1050 ;) This effect occurs when a screen resolution ~1440 and more...
Cannot reproduce in full screen mode at 1440*900. In two weeks I'll be getting my new MBP with 1680*1050.
Just thought of a way to reproduce. I reduced my font size while in full screen mode. That give a little hint. I don't think this is a real issue. If you have a solution, please feel free to implement it.
