New doc update

The new stylesheet for the docs looks great, John!

One extremely minor nit: perhaps the logo is a too large in this context. On smaller screens, like a 1024x768 laptop, it encompasses about a third of the usable browser window space.

Would it be possible to keep it the current size for the main home page, but use a smaller version for the documentation pages? Or, to the extreme, just use a small icon-sized logo like in the Python 2.6 docs?

I just ripped this off hook-line-and-sinker from the sphinx docs, and
added the few css bits you created earlier. They do look nice :slight_smile:

I'm happy to do use a smaller logo on the doc pages, but off hand do
not know how to do it. I am knee deep in trying to convert the
existing docs, because as you probably gathered the sphinx docs will
soon entirely replace the existing web pages entirely. So if you
could help with this logo change that would be great. Either route
(smaller logo or single icon) is fine by me.....

Sure. I'll look into this.

I am having problems in that the "matplotlib home" text is getting
wrapped with the new icon. Screenshot attached. Are you not seeing
this?

I may work on a thinner default logo, because I like having the
consistency between pages....

Nope, I'm not seeing this, even when I shrink the window width way down.

This is Firefox 2.0 on RHEL4.

Does putting a &nbsp; between matplotlib and home help?

I tried this, and it put matplotlib and home together, but on the line
below the icon. I tried to make sure there were no spaces between the
image and the start of the matplotlib word, but wasn't able to kill
the newline

firefox 2.0.0.14 on solaris x86

Weird. Have to admit I don't understand this HTML stuff very well... :wink:

Don't worry about it -- I am going to try and revert these changes
with a thinner logo. I'll let you know when it's ready for testing.
