Yes, thanks for this cw. Nice colours and much else. It was not
quite what I was expecting. Apart from the tables and stuff, I
was expecting a candidate that is very good at being flexible
enough to be easy at 700px wide but take advantage of much bigger
(is 1600 too much to ask? Perhaps a bit!). Up to a point it does
this when one is tired and needs to ramp up the text fonts to a
degree that teenagers would giggle at. But it is not a good
example of what Mr Flavell was talking about. Try looking at it
at 700px wide at a not wildly unreasonable biggish font size. And
when on my big screen it does not exactly take up the landscape
area in a hurry.
I like the colour scheme though! Anyway, I am still interested in
seeing the best of good flexible design, as I am sure everyone
else here is.
