I must admit that I’m not very talented myself when it comes to presentation, colors, etc. I easily spot what could be (probably) improved when I look at something, but hardly can come up with an improvement of my own. So, apart from the little changes I made to the css (like on the screenshot), there’s not so much I’m able to propose.
That’s cool, I’m not a very gifted designer myself, I’m more of a programmer. Which is why I’m attracted to systems with template tags, which makes it very easy to port over themes. All of my sites are running either a tweaked default template or an XHTML template I fancied.

If you have something I could try out, I’ll play with it on my local dev site.
Bert, I’ve made a few changes to the CSS, intended for the list pages. For the home page it would need small alterations (tad more space below the text, tad less above) but you see what’s meant. On the tag pages only #sidebar-2 works, they needed smaller font and more line-height, too, but are hard to address without changing the look of the list pages.
I didn’t care for the use of em/px, padding/margin/negative margin, so it’s rather an editable screenshot ; )
Try : )
p.tag-listing {
font-size:0.85em;
line-height:0.9em;
padding-top:1.5em;
border-top:1px solid #ddd;
text-indent:3em;
}
p.tag-excerpt {
line-height:0.85em;
text-indent:3.5em;
font-size:0.8em;
margin: 9px 5px 17px 20px;
}
#sidebar-2 p {
padding-left: 15px;
text-align: left;
}
.first-char {
margin-top: 1.5em;
margin-bottom: -0.6em;

I see where you’re heading, it does make the listing page more readable. Let me play around with it, thanks.
As to what you say above, could you elaborate?

And creates structures and a certain hierarchy.

I meant that this is done rather quick n dirty: I intermingled em and px, added paddings on top of margins, and subtracted (negative) margins from other elements’ paddings. And the like. It’s just to give an impression.

Re: [contrib] TXP Tags - Textpattern Tags
Per Uli’s suggestions, I updated the look of the tag listings on the Textpattern Tags site. The listings should be more legible now with a dividing line separating the tags and some needed indentation. Eventually, I’ll find a simple template that will fit the site, something light to keep page loads fast, but for now I’m content with it.
Thanks Uli.

Re: [contrib] TXP Tags - Textpattern Tags
That’s looking good Bert. :)
One thing I did think to myself as I was looking up and down the listing was that it is quite long and it would be nice if either the right-hand sidebar followed you down the page or there were some “back to the top” links every so often.

Hey Stuart, glad you like the site. I’ll see about either floating the right hand sidebar down the page or adding back to top links.

Not at all, glad you could use some of it.

Re: [contrib] TXP Tags - Textpattern Tags
Would it be OK to place a link to txp:tag at the Tag Reference page?

A propos nothing, I just checked the site and the 468×60 Adsense box at the bottom was displaying a Wordpress advert. Heh.

Re: [contrib] TXP Tags - Textpattern Tags
TXP Tags got a face lift recently, so it’s time to bump this thread.
The new design is a Bootstrap template, mobile-friendly for the masses.
There are 2 ways to view the tags, the default grid view, or a list view.
Over time, more examples will be added, as will new Tags coming in 4.6.
Template Tags, the best part of Textpattern.
