Description

Our poor Nightly page could use some Sandstone love. No download page gets left behind. Let the horse keep on flying.

hehe, very funny!

Matt, if you're up for it... this will be another bug that we'd love your help with. Lower priority against other stuff but perhaps a relatively quick one to knock out when you have the time.  Updating the theme http://nightly.mozilla.org/

Not a problem, I can get started on this one right away since it looks like it shouldn't take too long.  Would it be possible to get a link to the existing PSD for this?

Thanks Matt. This seems like a good opportunity to use the new Nightly logo:

Sean said he was making some last-minute tweaks to it today, so hopefully the updated files will be on the repository soon.

Hi guys, I've attached an example of what the Firefox Nightly refresh might look like.  Basically updated the fonts to Open Sans, updated the header, footer and background to the new standard.

Thanks Matt. That looks nice, and is about what I had in mind.

Sean, Ty or Tara - any further design input?

Comment 6

[Ty Flanagan]

The update looks great! 

A couple things:

- The Firefox logo at the top might need to be changed to include "mozilla" above the wordmark. Ill check with Sean on that one. The positioning of the logo needs to shift down to match what is used on our Firefox pages. (See here:  http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/fx/#desktop)

- Do the content containers conform to the sandstone grid? It looks like the positioning and sizing might need some adjustment.

- Not sure if the newsletter signup box is needed here considering there are 3 mailing lists which a nightly user can subscribe to (see current nightly.mozilla.org page). Something to point out too - We have a MAEMO mailing list and we dont offer MAEMO nightly builds anymore :s Thoughts?

- Can we also update the content within the design to reflect the current nightly webpage please. We list fewer nightly builds on the website now, and the links along the bottom have been changed too.

Matt, do you have an estimate as to when we'll see the next round here?

Hi guys, I've worked with Ty to update the Nightly page further.  Overall there were 3 minor changes; I've closed the gutter in the first column for both desktop and mobile boxes, bringing a closer connection between the category and the associated content.  Also, I have changed the footer colour to be more subtle as well as tying in closer to the black-blue colour palette. And finally bumped up the Mozilla footer logo to be a pure white.

Sounds like this one is finished. Can you post the PSD?

Comment 13

[MT]

Excellent, I am passing along to Ty, he mentioned that he will make the PSD available for me.

Thanks Ty. I'm marking this closed, and have opened up bug 799722 for implementation.
