Re: The new talk.maemo.org theme
 

The new web site is certainly faster than the old version. Kudos for those who have contributed.

However it doesn't match some of the forum themes in terms of space usage, rendering speed and accessibility (I refer to the black background, but also to the ability to zoom and FTV).

I think it would be awful to loose performance on the forum. Please keep some light and speedy theme (I like the minimalistic too).

One feature request for the forum (and maybe the web site): a user pre-determined font size. I don't know if this is possible, but it would be cool. That would avoid the use of FTV function.

Regards,
Antonio

Great minds think alike. ;)

I like it. :)

Re: The new talk.maemo.org theme
 

I agree 100%. The forums are much more enjoyable when they render quickly and without horizontal scrolling and the minimal theme works wonders for that. If the new talk.maemo theme manages to do those things great. Otherwise please include the minimal theme for those of us who use it extensively.

I can't tell for sure based on the posted screenshots, but the second one makes it look like the menu on the right means that the forum posts will remain narrow all the way down, and I think this a really big usability problem, especially on the tablets, which only have 800 pixels width to deal with in the first place.

Well here goes : I've used "minimalistic" exclusively on my tablets ever since it became available, and I'd hate having to go back... :-)

Re: The new talk.maemo.org theme
 

Of course it will be given a chance, but to "work well" is not always the same as being quick and efficient, especially for interactive use like on a forum. I see a great deal of lateral space being wasted on the menus and boilerplate in the template, which is OK for news content on a big screen, less so for forum posts on a small one...
Good news that, thanks !

Make that five :-)

Re: The new talk.maemo.org theme
 

The new theme is now up. Please comment, suggest improvements, and report any bugs and errors you find.

The Minimalist theme has been retained, pending improvements.

Thanks!

Congrats! I like it. Only thing I find (a bug?) is that the maemo.org logo in the top left corner doesn't do anything. I'm kinda used to it taking me back to http://www.internettablettalk.com :)
