The web page would look better if more images of DSL are added and background is coloured than being white. The content organization can be also improved so that it becomes equivalent to any of the typical distro page.

post ur thoughts
Whats about doing this John, please consider ..

Most fancy websites do not display properly or at all with Dillo.
We must not forget our small less capable mahines which can only use Dillo. As well as those who are on dialup.

A more robust page might make sense for the dsl-n distro which does not have Dillo and is targeted for our larger more modern machines.

Only thing I suggest is to set color for text at the front page. I use dark green as default text color and it really looks strange with green text. =D (And with light green links it is almost unreadable.)

Thats fine.
Thanks for immediate reply.

The background colour can be changed in dillo i suppose .

Also the contents are in form of left aligned or so (in all DSL pages) which can be changed to justified.

These will not be that fancy but adds look to the webpage. Possibly this will work in dillo i suppose.

Any sort of improvement to the look is what i really mean so that it adds to the look of webpage.

please consider.

I think that building content is more important than look.
You can visit my www site and see how almost imageless design can be stylish. (IMO ofcourse :;):

While damnsmalllinux.org is apparently not a part of this campaign, the ideals may be similar:

nicer does not mean heavier.
just just could get more blog-style, i.e. or simply have a more webbish font.
it's about using an embedded style sheet, which can be readable for dillo as well, of course.
Also: changing the website look every now and then is a good idea for people coming to the website not very ofter. it gives you the idea of a very active site...as it really is indeed. just my 2 cents

I hope that was a joke, because it was funny :laugh:

Dillo's support for style sheets is practically non-existent, which is, in my opinion, its greatest flaw.

I just don't like times new romans and similar fonts. I like i.e. the font used for this forum. that was my opinion, and you nknow..when it comes to a matter of taste..anything goes. ;-)
I imagined that dillo's support for style sheets was very small but I did not imagine that it was so poor. bad news.
And yes, I like the standard look of many of the templates supplied by, say, blogger.com, even if I'm aware that a website is NOT a blog and those template should be re-organized to fit into dsl's needs.
