Thomas Zander pointed out some stuff earlier today to me, I've added my
thoughts, and by request, am now sending it here.
Thoughts for making the docs look better:
- there are too many horizontal lines (separation between text and
screenshots/examples/...). Especially in places where a number of screenshots
are placed shortly after another, this makes it very hard not to be distracted
from the text because eyes are drawn to the full-width lines.
- placing of screenshots is awkward at times: they use the entire line width, so
images that are high and small take up very much space. Combined with the
previous issue some nasty effects are created.
(For an example of these effects, check the Krita manual. Especially the
toolbars and the blending modes sections.)
- searching for stuff is almost impossible at times. something like a side
column which includes key words could help here. Combined with a keyword index
this could be used to quickly find stuff.
- and perhaps the navigation could use some revamping (e.g. Home and Up are only
available at the bottom now)
Cheers,
