I think regardless of the chosen style, giving the Python 3 docs a different look and feel also has a psychological benefit that might further encourage users to consider moving to Python 3. It could be a bit of a wake-up call.

Of course you do realize that the only possible outcome of this thread which is literally about painting the docs bike shed is to have a row of dynamic "change my css theme" buttons somewhere with one for each person that has piped up in this thread. Which would lead to a stateful docs web server with cookie preferences on which css to default to for each and every viewer. This doesn't end well... ;)

Good luck (and thanks for trying, I like seeing the new styles!) -gps -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-dev/attachments/20120324/bdc25c10/attachment.html>
