- Jeremy Powers via Digitalmars-d (8/8) Jun 05 2015 The bikeshed looks fine the way it is, thanks. But it should be green.

It looks like you should reduce the code font size, but increase the text font size to give it an apples-to-apples comparison. If you can do that I'll give it another look.

Jeremy Powers via Digitalmars-d <digitalmars-d puremagic.com> The bikeshed looks fine the way it is, thanks. But it should be green. Seriously though, updating the website is probably a good idea. My thoughts comparing: * New font is smaller, harder to read than existing. Have to bump it up one in my browser. * Bold doesn't look bold. Did the bold unbold? * The page needs more love than just a new font to be easily usable. Blocks of lines run together.
