Ok, for the table of content; try putting the picture in the bottom right corner (does it have to be the bottom left corner?), and make it a little more transparent.

I like the pictures/figures way better now :)

The colors of all links looks perfect now :) It is beginning to look very good :)

I like it, but could we try putting the image in the bottom right? It might look better there, it of course needs to be rotated counterclockwise 90 degrees then.

Could you also add the "mouse over" color to the tabs in the top of the page?

Nice, could you also make the black background in the table of contents a little more transparent 50 % transparency?

And move the MediaWiki logo in the footer a little bit down so it is vertically centered like the text in the footer :)

I start a ToDo for the website: http://opendungeons.sourceforge.net/index.php/ToDo_%28website%29
and a "Take the tour" page: http://opendungeons.sourceforge.net/index.php/User:Xapantu/Take_the_tour
I started it because since I think you don't know the css, you will have some problem to have a custom presentation.

I can make some nice arrows for you :)

The "Take the tour" is that for showing what is in the wiki or what is that for?

Also is the ToDo page for bugfixes for the wiki or for ToDos for the whole OD project?

Maybe the name 'take the tour" (it is the name for the ubuntu page ;) ) is not good but it is to introduce OD. It must be a beautiful page.
e.g. : for ubuntu it is http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/features
svenskmand {l Wrote}:Also is the ToDo page for bugfixes for the wiki or for ToDos for the whole OD project?

Only for the wiki :).


Otherwise, I think that the main page isn't very user friendly... I think my page (or something like this) http://opendungeons.sourceforge.net/index.php/User:Xapantu/Take_the_tour would be better for new users and the current main page maybe a page called "get involved" ? (I know, I can't decide but it is my opinion :) )

Yeah, the original design of the main page was meant to be just a simple index to all the important pages on the wiki. It should probably be moved to a new page called "Launchpad" or "Portal" or something like that to free up the main page for something more inviting to new visitors.

So, I am going to complete this page and you will decide afterwards ?

Your welcome to do whatever you like with the main page, just copy the existing page text to somewhere else since it is a useful index to the most important pages.

ok, I moved the gallery to a screenshot page (because the main page was too big with all screenshots :( )
I set up the main page, any feedbacks ?

And I moved the old one to OpenDungeons:Portal.
I updated the sidebar.

Is there any problem ?

Looks good to me, although I would get rid of the exclamation point in the sidebar as it is a bit distracting.

Ok :)

One more thing, when you edit a page in the wiki could you change the background color of the "edit field" to this color #000000 and make it 50 % transparent and let the text color be this color #e0e0e0?
