 The new theme is too dark; is so dark that it's unreadable.

Showing up just fine here... It's supposed to be black and purple, they're cool go-faster colours. |
Ned: Whatcha diddely-doin', neighbor?
Homer: Putting speed holes in my car. Makes it go faster.
But seriously, I like the new colour scheme. When you try and operate one of these weird black controls that are labelled in black on a black background a small black light lights up black to let you know you've done it. Inspired. And all those who say this is an April Fools' joke should be ashamed. How dare you say something so rude about something which clearly took a lot of hard work and effort.

Why would anyone put Gentoo on the NT kernel? First of all, you would need Windows Services for UNIX 3.5 just to get a POSIX 2 subsystem and even then support for X11 would still be next to useless. That's obviously a joke as well. The proper way would be to go through Cygwin.

| GeNToo project page wrote: | If we allow ourselves to think out of the box, we will realize that the Microsoft NT kernel is an alternative to Linux, that is both proven and commercial-grade. It has support from nearly all hardware vendors in the world, and practically every PC comes with an license for the NT kernel. This means: the monetary cost of a copy of the NT kernel is close to non-existent for the average end-user.
So, let's use it! |
OMG! ROFLCOPTER!!! Cough! Cough! Gasp!

I'm noticing a distinct Ninja based theme developing here. |

I think we need 2 more ninja turtles to round off the theme.  |

I think I have just turned colorblind out of sheer shock. Does anyone here like the new theme? I'm starting to think there must be something wrong with my browser.

|
|
I am sorry but it is not working for me. I like to old design better (more profesional and readable). Not that the new design is bad, just personally not my taste. I am a Web/Software Developer (Computer Science) and focusing on business, and personally and profesionally this is not the path I would like gentoo web design to head to . Good Luck.

Merged another one.
I wish more of you would take this new redesign seriously. A lot of people worked very hard to deliver the new theme.
