Main list dropped from ccs.

I should be using gnustep-header14.jpg, which I've trimmed 100 pixels
from, as suggested by largo. If not, that's a bug. Which page?
2. Unless the browser window is set to a small size, there's a huge
gap
between the two columns in 'getting started' now that the table has
been
replaced with a list. This has also caused the left column to "touch"
the
edge of the browser window in some browsers.
3. The bullets are too far left in the news section (again, list vs
table)
4. In both news and getting started, the bullets are supposed to be
indented
from the header text in order to "frame" the content. I think it
makes the
whole thing easier to read. I really think we should revert these two
sections back to tables.
This needs some work yet, but we *must* use lists for lists. Table and
• for lists is a bit evil, because it's not using honest and
accurate markup. It doesn't look right in some common browsers and is
a bit nasty for unusual browsers (like talking ones). I need to figure
out what a good way to center the right-hand column is. Any
suggestions?
The bullet positioning error is probably something from largo's IE
fixes, top line of the CSS. I'll try to reset the right property to a
good value. Does anyone know which it is, or shall I use trial and
error?
And this may be personal taste issue, but I think the 'current
packages'
section looks better on the main site. The huge size of the text
doesn't seem
as elegant.
It's not that huge to me in Firebird. Maybe it needs dropping a size?
I made it a header because it is a header and the line wrap on the
current version is ugly to me.
(gnustep-main.css)
1. I see you've changed the font-size to points from pixels. Is this
to get
platform-relative sizes?
Yes. It works fine for me in Firebird. Maybe your screen or browser
dpi is wrong? Using 12px text gets complaints from huge screen
resolution users. Using bigger pixel size text gets complaints from
small resolution users. I think pixels are worse than points, worst of
all worlds.
Normally I use %, but I've not had time to find the right settings for
this site. If you have suggestions, I'd appreciate them.
2. I think there's a bit too much spacing between elements in the
sidebar.
Maybe take line-height down a bit more?
Will do. What would you suggest?
