Also looks like a big improvement.  I think whoever is actually going to do the work should make the final call on how it will look, but with community input, of course :-).  Posting screenshots sounds like a nice way to review the possibilities, if people are up for generating them.

this is what I'm working on, started with the exhibition page, but it could be generalized.
I only added now the background pattern of the ubuntu website, following on the ubuntu font by chris.

This is only CSS editing, but I had to delete the navigation tab on the top from the html.
I say so, because apparently it's "easy" to edit the plone css custom theme, but edit the structure might be more painful.

Next I want to display images for each project and a slightly longer description.

attached there's a screenshot..

Hey folks,

I got my head around the CSS editing of PLONE.
I can do the CSS job, the only downside is that it has to be done with Plone in development mode.
This apparently would slow down the site a bit.

However, fact is, if we modify a css class, this will affect the whole website.

How should we handle this?
Voting for the best style, collecting ideas, or....

I can join Chris and send over some styles I've been trying.
It would be great to give a better look, at least to the extent that the css allows.

Hi Chris,

I'm glad you did that.
It is what I'm also doing following the discussion in the past week about the website.
However, apparently it's a pain to be able to change only the css in the plone template.
I'm looking into that, if somebody is more experienced than me in Plone, give me a shout!

But, yes, your is a good example of how the same website could look much friendlier.

talk soon,
M

Yeah for sure.

Yes but it almost certainly won't run and WebPd has no GUI. :)

Maybe a simpler patch could work.

Cheers,

Chris.
