Yup, nice catch, Quim. I hadn't realized at first, but now you've mentioned it, what gives me the "orange visual overdose" impression is the links - specifically, the "plain-text" links inside the posts on the Planet maemo page for example.

As you said, the orange "decorations" are well done, even the news titles would be OK : it's the links that appear a lighter shade of orange (because the font is non-bold) that should be turned a lighter or darker shade of something else... I'm sure the pages would be a lot easier on the eyes.

There is no problem saying that it's beta, but why it has to in be logo? It's ugly.
Small notice in footer would suffice

Should bugs in the new design still be submitted against the "Newstyle" component, or is that component being vacated now that the new theme is live?

Few things I've noticed, 'scuse me if already discussed:
  • announcements on the front page - dead spot. Nothing draws the user attention on a quick glance. It should be more visible IMHO.
  • Username and Serch fields - text should be auto selected or disappear on focus like the password field.
  • The new style wiki main menu is broken, looks like a missing image/sprite (FF35b).
  • The gray elipsoid in the right menu can be divided to two elements to support the vertical resizing of the items (like when on two rows).

Keep up the good work.

I'm sticking to Newstyle for the time being. I'll ask X-Fade, once his two hours of sleep time are up, where he wants them, though. ;)

We are working towards removing the Beta signifier, but it is not that time yet. Give us a couple of weeks of testing and bug fixes (as well as time to style garage.maemo.org, wiki.maemo.org, etc.).

Thanks,
Tim

hehe. My site is newly launched and still technically in beta until the end of the month. But the only notice of it's beta state I made was in a little sidebar announcement. ;)

Actually, all of the comments I make in this forum (or anywhere online for that matter) are pretty much Beta status.
