New look for CodeProject [modified]
-
We're at the point where the bulk of new code is outweighing the old code and so all back-end caching, pre-calculating and general maintainance is now all .NET. Plus, we've finally made it to the 20th century and stopped assuming 800x600 is the minimum standard. The site will work with sub 1024 x 768 but we just got sick of being so cramped. In doing so I took the opportunity to complete a redesign started about 4 years ago in order to have a consistent look and feel across the site. HTML purists will be happy to see more of the internals are now XHTML, and much of the formatting moved to CSS. Did I mention the 20th century. Yeah, I know... Comments always welcome, most especially when they involve bugs. Edit: Credit where credit's due: I should have mentioned that all praise (and the odd complaint) should go to William Kim, our AdOps manager for the design specifics. cheers, Chris Maunder

There's this problem, since the old version BTW: exactly half the times, the menu at the top-left is shifted on the left. If I refresh the page, it goes in its right position, then if I refresh again, it returns in the wrong position. I'm using Firefox 1.5.0.4 on Windows XP. _____________________________________________ Tozzi is right: Gaia is getting rid of us. My Blog [ITA] - Developing ScrewTurn Wiki 1.0 Beta2...

The top part especially looks really clean and nice! :cool: If you made any changes I would suggest changing the light gray box frames and bars on the front to some other color (a lighter, muted variation of the green at the top maybe?), and also the black background parts on the "sidebar" to the left - it looks garrish.

If you're in the mood to tinker again, can you make the refresh link more prominent in the forums? After nearly 4 years here, I still struggle to find it. My wife said something similar to me and that's after 16 years of marriage. Cheers!

I think i like the new look, but i seem to be stuk in the menu. i was at c/c++ and then went to c#, but in the sections menu only the top two seems to be c#, the rest is stil c++. after clicking c++ in the top menu, the sections menu still shows the wrong items. e.g. the top two c#. after clicking asp.net, the sections menu on the left : top two c#, rest C++ whats the point o a sections menu, if the sections dont change ? My second computer is your linux box.

This is tomorrow's task: clean up and expand the categories. You'll notice there's no ASP.NET and VB.NET at all. We'll fix this and make the single-sized-menu-fits-all a little more comfortable. cheers, Chris Maunder

I've emailed a screenshot where the design doesn't quiet fit on my Firefox browser. Not too keen on the font used, looks a bit crap when all the word is capitalized. Also, the green and orange don't seem to work well together but I may get used to it. Like the grey though. Other than that I like what I see (and as a HTML purist, I like the direction you are going) Michael CP Blog [^] Development Blog [^]

It will take some getting used to before I can give any constructive feedback, but my initial impression is - I don't like the black side headings. They just look out of place. :~ And I appreciate the effort that has gone in to it all, but the home page... talk about distraction overload. Waaaay too many different different font styles, colours and box styles. On the plus side, the menus are much nicer to navigate. I lied about the feedback bit - the padding around article content needs to be bigger (including the header summary). Why is All Topics underlined? Ok, time for bed... :zzz:

Don´t look bad, but I think that a bit of GRADIENTS don´t hurt for example in the green tool bar and in the backs of the top and left a little gradient between a light orange and a bit more dark orange will look better :) Anyway just my 2 cents Cheers And keep moving forward. ----- --> my articles [^]
