Talk:Main Page v2

Post new color scheme

In favor:

Jasonk 15:44, 14 March 2006 (EST): Looks great. I agree with Reshma about highlights bar.
RS 15:46, 14 March 2006 (EST): I like it too. Though I personally don't think we need the bar saying highlights. I think it is self-explanatory. Probably a thin blue line there is a good idea though just to divide things up.
- Jennyn 15:51, 14 March 2006 (EST): I deleted the Highlights part of the bar. I originally put it there because Barry mentioned that new users might not know what that is, so if any confusion arises, we can always put it back.
Jgritton 15:54, 14 March 2006 (EST): I like it also. I put the description in bold since it was a bit hard to read the blue text on a white background.
- Jennyn 16:03, 14 March 2006 (EST): Jeff, I changed the color to the purple, bolded the first word, and the font to Tahoma. I think it is easier to read now. Revert back if anyone disagrees.
Smeister 17:23, 14 March 2006 (EST): Looks great! Excellent job, guys! Can't wait to have this as the front page - it is getting me all excited even though I did not even contribute! :)

Oppose:

tmt 17:20, 14 March 2006 (EST): I like it. Is there any way to add some white space between the columns? JenCC told me that she feels that this space is very important, and I agree that it does look a lot better (see here). Also, how hard is it to change the skin (or whatever) so that the space around the page is blue like in JenCC's design?
- Jennyn 17:35, 14 March 2006 (EST): I added the space between the modules. I'm not sure how to add them just between the columns, though. And if anyone has access to change the skin, let us know!

I really, really like this design. Although, I would probably want to wait on popping labs into sepearte university pages until there are enough to warrant it. MIT probably has enough, but everyone else is being relegated to a university page without a community to support that page. I think while we can maintain one "community space" for listing all the labs we should do it, when it becomes too cumbersome then we should go to listing universities, when that becomes too cumbersome... it will be a good problem to have. --JK

Rather than linking to Labs:University_Name, is there a problem with just linking to University_Name? This maybe makes more sense if the page has more than just labs listed on it. --Devin
- I agree Devin. You should feel free to make these changes yourself. --Sri Kosuri 22:13, 20 December 2005 (EST)
- removed the 'Labs:' except for the UChicago one for now, since I noticed that Devin had that deliminator in other pages as well --JK
