Hello. Im interested in implementing unified layout for all gentoo.org sub pages. I already have small demonstration.

IMO it would be nice to have the same header for all pages. At least for forums and wiki? The header doesnt have to be that large. What do you think about my suggestion? Any feedback is appreciated.

Have to say I don't see that much difference, but a change would be nice.

In design, as not in software, a change is as good as a rest ;-)

If there would be an option for a bright-on-dark variant I would be so happy.

I think its about ready now. I like the new look but we could use the current g.o header as well. It should be quite easy to replace the new header to current pages and add the same header for phpBB and wiki. I can do that if i can get some sources of the forums and wiki.

This is how it looks now :

Heres the source :
Code:

<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
body { font: 12px sans-serif; color: #222; margin: 0px; }
div.head { background: #45367b url('logo3.jpg') no-repeat; border-bottom: 1px solid #333;
         color: #FFF; }
div.head h1 {font: 36px sans-serif; color: #4aff00; margin-left: 100px; padding-top: 28px;}
div.head a { font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none; color: #222; padding: 5px 8px 5px 8px; }
div.head a:hover { background: #444; }
div.head a.active { border-right: 1px solid #999; background: #FFFFFF; }
div.head a.passive { border-right: 1px solid #999; color: #FFFFFF; }
div.links { background: #333; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 10px; padding: 5px 0px 5px 0px; }

div.main { padding: 5px; }

div.tail { background: #45367b; color: #FFF; padding: 5px;
         border-top: 1px solid #333; border-bottom: 1px solid #333; }
div.tail a { color: #FFF; }

table { font: 12px sans-serif; }
p { font: 12px sans-serif; margin: 0px; padding: 5px; }
p.chaphead { font-weight: bold; color: #45367b; font-size: 20px; padding: 10px; }
p.secthead { font-weight: bold; font-size: 16px; padding: 5px; }
</style>
<body>
<div class="head">
<h1>Gentoo Linux</h1>
<div class="links">
<?php
$links = [
"About", "Projects", "Docs", "Forums", "Lists", "Bugs", "Download",
"Support", "Planet", "Wiki"
];

if (empty($_GET["page"])) {
   $page = "About";
}
else {
   $page = $_GET["page"];
}

foreach ($links as $link) {
   if ($page == $link) {
      echo '<a class="active" href="?page='.urlencode($link).'">'.$link.'</a>';
   }
   else {
      echo '<a class="passive" href="?page='.urlencode($link).'">'.$link.'</a>';
   }
}

echo '
</div>
</div>
<div class="main">
';

include($page.".php");
?>
</div>

<div class="tail">

I would be happy to hear some feedback from the gentoo staff.

I thought meh, but then I went to have a look at the main site. I forgot how bad the design was.

This is definitely much better. :D

I cant stand the Gentoo logo though, it looks like something I would make in Blender. I think that needs a redesign as well.

Well yeah. I took the logo straight from the current theme. I can do some web design but i suck with gimp and blender. I just wanted to show the idea and i like the design if someone just could design better logo. I still think it should be using the official gentoo logo. Thank you everyone for feedback. I hope we can get some updates for the website.

Have you seen the recent analysis of the Gentoo Website Survey? Maybe you can contact Alex Legler, if you want to help.

Personally, I think a Gentoo website redesign is in overdue.

If you're really going to contribute a new layout for the gentoo.org website, please make sure it's a responsive layout as more and more people are browsing the net with their phones,tablets,tvs so we shouldn't make a website that can adjust to these various screen sizes.

make it a userstyle. idgaf if "there is work in progress" i still style and distort to my own tastes.

gentoo dark side:
http://userstyles.org/styles/59533/gentoo-dark

& even others css.... (someone posted css to make bugs.gentoo.org more reasonable)
http://userstyles.org/styles/90931/bugs-gentoo-org-css-love

my dark style is gentoo.org wide. ill start punching in your changes. & with user styles, i can use all 3 at the same time.
