Re: [development] possible theme?
http://www.drupalart.org/drupal48/ Let's avoid talking about the underlying XHTML/CSS: we'll worry about that in step #2. Instead, let's talk about the aesthetics, the brand and the message this theme communicates. On a scale from 1-5 (1 = "Argh, it hurts my eyes", 3 = "I can live with it", 5 = "Exactly what we need"), what rating would you give this design (not its XHTML/CSS) and why?
4, Nice, clean, simple. Two changes: I would left-justify the primary links. I don't undertstand why they are floating off the left margin. Please make primary text _black_ #000000. Why designers insist on grey text is beyond my comprehension (and strains my eyes). - Ken Rickard agentrickard
I agree about the primary links justification. They should either be lined up with the far left, or underthe $site_name element.... Or even the "Site Slogan"... or further still, with #main Having them "out there in the wind flapping" is a bit odd. Don't know if I concur with the main text color change. :) I'd +1 this as a bluemarine replacement with some modifications here and there. Trae PS. who said design by committee wasn't fun!

I would tend to agree here. The low-contrast color palette overall makes me feel like I'm wearing greasy eyeglasses, like I'm not seeing the page clearly. -1 for usability on that score, imho. Laura
