RE: [phoenix-dev] /projects/ page experiment
|
Bjorn, Denis,
I really like the way http://www.eclipse.org/projects/ is starting to look.
Mind you the dark rainy lightning clouds don't really make me want to find
out what's new.
I've created an alternative here:
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/images/New64.jpg
I think by making the icons a bit bigger we could also give it a more Web2.0
look that you were gunning for in the first iteration.

Well these icons are all now installed on dev in 32x32 format:
http://tango.freedesktop.org/Tango_Icon_Library
Yes, they are outside CVS.
Any of those could be used as well. On the project_summary.php page it
uses the down arrow icon for downloads.
