Front page looks nice!

[ScreenSavers]

Liking the look of the navigation bar and front page. Nice work!

 

[anshuvorty]

Yup! I noticed the new change. Good stuff!

 

[lowendlinux]

I second and third the above comments

Now if only they'd get rid of the irritating up/down arrows that constantly appear and disappear.

 

[BigMcGuire]

Agreed, I like it!

 

[justperry]

Nope, not my taste.
Why have a bar on top of the main page that has the same stories as on the main page farther down, scroll down and you see them.
The last one was much better, sorry to say that Arn, maybe just my opinion.

I don't like that the sidebar is gone when reading in portrait mode on an iPad.
Just wanted to provide that feedback.

You can close it.

The sidebar is less important now due to the consolidation of the feed. There is a button on the top right that lets you reveal the sidebar when it disappears.

I like it. Looks better on mobile too

Looks very attractive (though I have found the sidebar useful); however, it seems to take a little longer to load.

Changes are fine, but not sure if I like the new top bar in Light mode. It's very jarring and looks out of place. Almost looks like a bug to me.

Speaking of jarring, I had to hide the "Featured Block". All that bold text looks hideous among the various different font styles. I count 8 different sizes, colours and weights within one view.

Without it, I think it looks fine, and the text variations are less noticeable.

What about using -apple-system font so it's set in San Francisco?

The navy blue bar could stand to be a touch lighter, agreed. I suppose in a week it'll look much less out of place, though.

I like the header of the front page; the dark blue fits dark mode a lot better. I hope that this is added to the forum as well. The forum has a bit too much light blue for my taste.

The forum header should be moved over. If you somehow have a weird preference set, go to the bottom of the screen and rechoose your theme.

Why is the forum header different colours to the site header menu in dark mode? Is this intentional?

This was not intentional. We'll sync them up.

Great, but where is now the back page or blog Mac page?
