Re: Cosmetic Surgery
but that’s purely a matter of taste
Not really, its a matter of corporate branding

Sure, you’re right – but from time to time there is a need of modernising things carefully.

No it’s Delicious that can be downloaded for free on the creator’s website.

Re: Cosmetic Surgery
okay, that is my suggestion. the orange-yellow is not that bright on monitors. on laptops it might be too light??
<img src=“http://textpattern.kbbu.de/workgroup/draft_head_txp.jpg” />
in fact i would reduce the height of the top bar cuz it is not necessary to have it that heigh, waste of space for no reason.
second: i would not introduce another color (like the blue) instead i would stick to the ones currently already in use in txp´s admin area. btw. the blue does not fit really.
Font: i did use delicious, but the SmallCap Version jsut for a try.

Re: Cosmetic Surgery
Mary, Its neatly done. The navigation is very well done and structured. The logout link is finally in the place where it belongs.
The only thing which i dislike personally is the yellow-orange gradient on top. I think it should be a solid colour. And I also agree with skubidu about the size of the textpattern logo. It should reduce drastically.
Good job otherwise!

Re: Cosmetic Surgery
Hi Mary
Like the feel but does this mean that the pull down menu will be taken out?

Re: Cosmetic Surgery
Like it, too.
The smaller TXP by Skubidu is better, i think.

Re: Cosmetic Surgery
I like Alexandra’s suggestion…
Keeping the colors more related to the actual admin look & feel… that would be nice.
Maybe, after a second look, I see the facelift makes it more similar to other products I have seen (like MODx) and that I dont like too much as the TXP actual admin.
Anyway, I have no doubt that we all be amazed by new style and features… :D

Re: Cosmetic Surgery
Happy for a change, and one with cleaner lines, and what seems to be better usability.
and can we have Mary’s new Avatar replace the old logo? I think it really sums up TXP well? :P

Re: Cosmetic Surgery
This might be off-topic, but, how is the output of the admin section generated? Where would one start if they were to completely retool the admin area sans tables?
BTW, The changes look great.

Re: Cosmetic Surgery
jbhis8up,
It is a little off topic, would you mind asking in the “how do I forum”? Thanks.

By the way, I love your site.

Re: Cosmetic Surgery
oh, yipeee. Looks super duper nice! Agree on the slightly tamer yellow, though.
