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.

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?

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!
