If this helps, note that we have this page which illustrates many of the CSS styles we use: http://www.openoffice.org/style-test.html and the same file rendered on our other website: http://openoffice.apache.org/style-test.html I assume we'd want to approximate the same styles on the MWiki as well, Extensions and Templates as well. We currently have the minimal branding consistency, in the name and logo. But we don't have consistency in other aspects of the styling. > I am working on a patch for the current *main* website.

But in your screen shot, why does the logo have so much whitespace around it, a white block extending over the menu and almost touching the T in THE. We might try a a transparent background for the logo, but keeping the gulls pure white? -Rob > -- > Alexandro Colorado > Apache OpenOffice Contributor > http://www.openoffice.org --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
