Documentation in new design unreadable

From
Peter Eisentraut
Date:
The new design makes the documentation hard to navigate.  The subheadings use
a light grey color and about the same font size as the regular text, so they
are actually less visible than the regular text.  Please make the headings
bigger and give them a visible color.  Thanks.

And make the fonts bigger.  Please.

Hmm, I'm confused: I see dark grey headings in a noticably bigger font.

At the top of each page there is a link for large/normal font size. Your
preference is remembered for future visits.

Regards, Dave.

Yeah, they are apparently slightly bigger, but because of the color it still
takes at least three glances to find them.

I also have a browser setting for selecting my preferred font size.  I don't
want to have to teach each site about it again.

And the font size selection doesn't work in Konqueror.

I'm with Peter on this one. Maybe its my display... but what's wrong with
bold black?

Dunno. That's best answered by the designer rather than an enthusiastic
amateur like me ;-)

Personally, I just clicked large and forgot about it. I see no reason
myself why the default cannot be increased a point or two though,
however Omar or Emily might disagree. As it's their design I'll let them
comment further.

Hmm, so I see.

Regards, Dave.

If, say, the default is bumped, it'd be nice to have a "smaller" option
as well so those of us that like the smaller size can read

I do like the gray, but agree it could be darker. There are quite a few
shades between the current shade of gray and black.

It works for me, but I must say that the "Large" setting looks much
better to me. Looking at the css, I see that "large" is still
forcing to a smaller size, 93%, which seems strange to me. Why
not leave it at 100% and let the user experience it the way they
have their browser set up?
