Hi Alex,
thanks for the new pictures.
Here is my opinion. Opinions from other users are welcomed.
The first one (the darker one) looks pretty good and it is in line with the new intro
theme and TDE Classic Menu side line color. This contributes to give TDE its own look and
feel and improves the rebranding effort we have being doing.
I also like the white color used for the top writing ("Trinity Control Center blah
blah blah") and the updated icon on the top right, which matches the icon of the
Trinity Control Center used in the menu.
Instead I think we need to improve the following things:
1) the section "Welcone to the Trinity Control Center blah blah blah" looks a
little awkward, the text is not vertically centered compared to the light color horizontal
stripe. It would be nice if that looked similar to the bottom rounded rectangle: same
width, same rounded corners, eventually use three text lines instead of two.
Also I think it is better to remove the quotes (") around Trinity Control Center.
2) the current Trinity Control Center has a sort of horizontal light colored
"band" on the top, going from left to right (see attached file). That is the
main theme of the new TDE website (whenever we will launch it :) ) and would be good to
maintain that. Could you manage to fit such "band" into the new color scheme?
Let's also see other's opinions.
Cheers
Michele
Hi,
Ok, I'll look at the text band in the middle.
I tried to use the existing color band, but after I cut the top and the bottom blue and
tested it. I stumbled on the problem that the middle part is taking all of the width. With
the previous non-transparent pictures, it was not seen, because the 2 side pictures would
cover the problem. If someone here can help me to find a way to delimit the band to start
at the end of the left picture and stop at the beginning of the right picture. The
pictures are ready, if someone find a way to do it. If it is not possible to do, the 2
following options are available: 1.Keep the old top part, which would pretty much loose
the effect or 2. Keep it without the old light colored band.
But the old light colored band has probably made its time too...
I'll look at that!
