It would be cool to have a new style for website. Something less white :-) With arrows for next/previous buttons. In few words make site look more NET 2.0 or more :-) I mark this a minor as it's only for "marketing" :-)
Perhaps (before) a new logo for Apache JMeter. More modern, more dynamic, less old style. :-) Need a designer.
Why not open a contest on JMeter user mailing list :-) ?
I second the idea of starting a logo contest in the community.
I was thinking of a website similar to Apache Cordova : http://cordova.apache.org/ Opinion?
Created attachment 32531 [details] Stylesheet to create a table-less version of the website The attached patch generates a new version ob the website without tables (almost, since there are tables in the content files). It has (in my opinion) a bit nicer colors and adapts itself when displayed on smalle devices. To have a look at it, I uploaded a generated version to http://people.apache.org/~fschumacher/jmeter/index.html
Hi Felix, I find it much better than existing one with a kind of oldy / classical style :-) Thanks. What about using it for new release ? Regards
Created attachment 32536 [details] Stylesheet to create a table-less version of the website Tables are now stripped of their old stylings and formatted through css. Apache Ads are included. Twitter icon added and Twitter links at the top will break nicer in case of smaller devices. I don't want to hinder a release with this. And maybe someone can style the tableless site in a completely different way.
Created attachment 32546 [details] Stylesheet to create a table-less version of the website A bit more colorful and responsive. Images will now be scaled, if they are bigger then 800 px and a link will always be added to the original image. A rendered version for the "current" 2.13 docs are again at http://people.apache.org/~fschumacher/jmeter/
Really nice. I really think we should release it with 2.13. Regards Philippe

The menu changes look OK, and the coloured lines are fine. However the banner bar is much too high - there's lots of wasted space. Also the font used for the headings looks very messy - it looks like it has been produced on a typewriter where most of the keys are partially clogged; the letter outlines are unclear. See attached screen shots.

Font looks a bit better, though it looks old-fashioned to me. The banner is still larger than it needs to be.

The logos are specifically made in certain sizes only so that page designers know how much space to allocate. > We will see.

The > logos are specifically made in certain sizes only so that page designers > know how much space to allocate. The ad-banner are placed inside an iframe. We can't control the layout (css/styles) from outside and the html in the iframe doesn't set any values for the margin/padding setting. That way the image will get a border, which makes it bigger. Now I had made the height of the outer div smaller than the height of the iframe. It could not be seen as the image had a lot of white space at top and the bottom. If that would have been changed, that part of the image would than have be cropped. But as we now use the wide bar instead of the square one, our header can be made to use less height. > > > We will see.
