| Nov 11, 2010 at 16:18 | comment | added | Caramdir | I like the background as it is, but things like that are usually very screen dependent (for example on the one I am using now the grid background of the beta design is clearly visible, but on my laptop it is nearly invisible). | |

| Nov 11, 2010 at 15:43 | comment | added | Konrad Rudolph Mod | When using Lucida (and I love it! Much nicer font than Helvetica, IMHO), please notice that on OS X, “Lucida Sans Unicode” is actually called “Lucida Grande” for some weird reason. So to make sure OS X doesn’t fall back to Tahoma, both these font names have to be mentioned. | |
| Nov 11, 2010 at 7:11 | comment | added | Charles Stewart | @mpg, On my screen, the geometric appear very faint indeed - Same here: I didn't consciously see the montage until my second look. I think that works very well: it accents the significant content elements without distracting from them. @Jin: I'm happy with the new badges. @lockstep: See List of Web Safe Fonts, though in fact there are more fonts that nearly all browsers have. | |
| Nov 11, 2010 at 2:56 | comment | added | mpg | Very nice design! I like it. I think {TeX} provides a really nice impression symmetry for the header. On my screen, the geometric appear very faint indeed, I starred at the page for nearly 1 minute before I noticed them... | |

| Nov 10, 2010 at 19:20 | comment | added | Jin | @Charles, agreed on the fading lines on the badges. I just posted the mockup for the Question Page. | |
| Nov 10, 2010 at 18:29 | comment | added | Jin | @lockstep I'm not set up Helvetica. I have been looking at humanist types. I may go with Lucida since it's websafe with Tahoma for fallback. | |
| Nov 10, 2010 at 17:35 | comment | added | Caramdir | @jin: I really like the overall design! How does changing {TeX} to {TeX}nique or {TeXnique} look? | |
| Nov 10, 2010 at 17:32 | comment | added | Caramdir | @lockstep: it needs to be a font that most people have on their computer. The most common browser doesn’t yet support loading fonts from the web. I imagine even if it did, it would be a licensing problem. | |
| Nov 10, 2010 at 16:57 | comment | added | lockstep | For the most part, I really like the design. However, does it have to be Helvetica as sans-serif? It's worn out and IMO wasn't the most beautiful font from the outset. How about a humanist sans-serif like Gill Sans, Syntax or Myriad? Maybe even Optima is worth a try for the body text. | |
| Nov 10, 2010 at 14:25 | comment | added | Charles Stewart | It's great, really great. The faint montage is gently hypnotic: the geometric shapes in the middle provide an nice accent. One distracting element: the triangle in the badges at the top seem too bold, although that's not a problem with them in the "Recent Badges" side bar: fading the lines of the triangle a little should alleviate this. I can't find anything else to pick nits about. Will you be putting up a draft of the qn page? | |
