• Component: WebKit Website
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

A zip of the HTML and CSS example I am talking about.

I've been looking at the "Thank you for testing WebKit!" page for a while and I think it really needs some updating. I have uploaded a version of the page that uses CSS3 and HTML5 (mainly CSS effects) to replace 3 of the images used on the page with adjustable styles. The goal I would like to see is the nightly thank you page use features that the community has worked so hard to implement, eventually replacing most of the special effect images used.

What's been done so far:
* Replaced left menu with gradient to similar effect.
* Used inset shadows to re-create the both of the .center elements.
* Replaced some divs with header, footer, article, section, nav, etc.
* List of things to do is now a dl instead of a p.
* Added an inset shadow to the new version box.

I also hope some of these can eventually make it into the main webkit website itself. Doesn't an advanced browser deserve a similar website? ;)

The web site content is in svn, so you should feel free to propose a patch, as described in <http://webkit.org/coding/contributing.html>.

I looked around http://svn.webkit.org/ , but I could not find the script for the nightly page. Would anyone be so kind as to point me to it?

My bad, nightly.webkit.org doesn't seem to be in svn.

Bug 38813 blocks this.

An interesting idea, but there’s clearly work to do to make it match the quality of the existing look.

I know. ;) I was mainly concerned with getting it all to work first, then refining later. It needs some new graphics to replace the user icon and the tools icon to make the center boxes complete.
