[Bf-docboard] Bf-docboard Digest, Vol 133, Issue 9

[John Roper]

I think that the layout is weird when you have single pages. It makes the layout hard to understand on all pages.

Recently Tobias Heinke has been doing some edits to the Manual's CSS script
to give it more of a visual appeal.
I have set up a live version on the Read the Docs site [1] to get feedback
and testing.
The biggest change right know are how index pages look. Again, feedback and
testing would be appreciated.


Thanks,

Aaron

Hi,

I agree with Doeke. Here's a typical case of 'style over substance', where a simple to  navigate list gets redesigned into a puzzle. 

If we had 100s of links to navigate we could look at diagrams for design, but for 10 links I think we can do better (or keep the old).
