The initial rough layout for the front page for the new OGA3 layout is viewable at http://199.180.155.219

Any feedback is appreciated.

Source code for the theme is located at https://github.com/OpenGameArt/OpenGameArt-OGA3-Theme any patches are welcome!

Here is what I'm thinking on some of the comments bring up. Ideas/suggestions?

1) people can post animated previews currently, should we keep the rendering them out to a static png or let people actually see the previews that are posted? Is there a way anyone knows of to deal with this? Maby allow animation on hover? Anyone know how can that be accomplished?

2) There will be a forum menu item I just haven't added that yet, the menus' will stay basically the same

3) I think I will move the news button to the top middle as a pull-down

4) @chasersgaming the idea is to bring more prominence to the art, not all the other items, currently things like "who's online" does that really matter to anyone?

5) I am thinking to make the previews a bit smaller with a border around them, still larger than the current ones but smaller than now. Was also thinking to add a "left and right" preview button for if someone has more then one preview image. Thoughts?

6) I like the idea of an opt-out on the scroll, I removed the scroll for now but I think alike X or something to close it? Thoughts?

7) The duplicated popular this week and stuff at the end of the page is just for testing

8) Should I auto zoom in on images that have bad proportions, ie 10px x 500px or stick to showing the (almost useless?) super zoomed out image?

 

Note: The current theme is not migratable, the entire thing has to be redone as its impossible to just keep what there currently is. As such its an ideal time to redo it with support for mobile and other optimizations.
