Re: [Gramps-devel] Gramps Artwork

Hello Gramps,

> Jason, are there other custom graphics that are needed?

Zissis sent me some other variations of these graphics and I used them 
to update the site header, home and downloads pages.

It's a nice, subtle refresh!

Nice works guys!

Hmmm... Seems like there are aspects of the Gramps Connect interface 
that have no relation to the Narrative Web interface. I've looked now 
and then at how it is coming along. It's an impressive accomplishment, 
but I would like to dig into the HTML + CSS to make a top-notch user 
interface, well-tuned to its function.

For starters, a responsive layout that adapts well to working on desktop 
computers, tablets and smart phones would be a great feature to have 
right out of the blocks.

There's no reason that we couldn't include GC-specific CSS in the 
Narrative Web stylesheets to make a universal resource. It would be 
ideal to have the same themes for the static and dynamic website options!

That should be easy enough to do.

Looks like Zissis has a good start on that.

One little jquery plugin that I found is called "Quick Search". This 
could be employed by both Narrative Web and Gramps Connect. Check out a 
working example here:

Just wish I had more time to give to Gramps!
