I liked proposal 6 much better than all other proposals so far (I like the darker colors for XWATCH6b rather than XWATCH6). We're getting there! :) Is it possible to try without the footer, right panels and clicked links colored so that they are the same colors for all subwikis? Thanks -Vincent

Vincent could you be more specific please? What clicked links? Those are links that don't exists. Anyway - there is only a link color, it doesn't matter the position of the links, if it's in a panel or in the footer, etc. or the status of the link (clicked, active, hover) I like http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/ColorThemes/XWATCH7/XE7.png http://incubator.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/ColorThemes/XWATCH7/XWATCH7… could you give some feedback on the Proposal 7, please ? ;;) I think they are elegant. Thanks, Caty

I like 7 too. My comment re link colors and others was about proposal 6 and not 7. Even for 7 I'm wondering if the link colors should be the same color as the header background or if they could be of a fixed color for all subwikis. If we have them colored the color really needs to be dark (as in the example you've given or maybe even darker) since otherwise it's hard for the eyes. Thanks -Vincent

About the links: they need to be good on white, so make them darker, but not that dark because they need to be differentiated from the text's dark color. The toucan has the problem that the link color is hard to differentiate from the ordinary text, because we have underlined links only on hover. If you want a solo link color for all the subwikis, the choice is hard, cause it has to be a color with the above proprieties + that matches ALL the headers color. :) Thanks, Caty On Tue, Sep 29, 2009 at 22:53, Vincent Massol <vincent(a)massol.net> wrote:

I like proposal 7 (Neutral gray) more because I prefer that the panels have a different background color than the page. Also I like the contrast between the white (paper) and the page (desk) background color. I don't understand the purpose of the darker bottom strip in proposal 6's header. Also, the number of attachments in the bottom tab bar is hardly visible (at least for me) while in proposal 7 the contrast is quite good. Thus I'm +1 for proposal 7 (Neutral gray) and -0 for proposal 6. I don't mind if the link color is different for each wiki. I would still be +1 for proposal 7 if the link color would be the same for all wikis. Well done! Thanks, Marius
