I've just tested this client side. Using [0] ribbon implementation.
And the effect it causes [1]. No real interference. Its nice.

P.S. I've messaged you Andrei. Slight problem with twitter api usage. (http connection vs twitter specified by https).

Well let be honest the site was in need of some fresh air. And the new menu is really good. Congratulations.

Thanks! Well it's probably time to start talking content, too. https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dlang.org/pull/792/.

Andrei

Pull 790 would be a big improvement . The current page also doesn't seem to be working properly. The right margin is empty except for a link to the D Twitter feed at the very top. I assume there's supposed to be a widget there showing tweets like before (although I never liked that).

Yeah definitely... better colors and spacing.

Looks excellent!

3 issues:

1. when browsing the library, the rest of the menu disappears (i.e. the rest of the menu is gone). You can click on the "D Lib 2.066.1" menu at the top to get back, but it's not obvious. There should at least be a "back" or "home" button in that menu.
2. Some of the library expansions don't fit into the column (e.g. std.windows.charset).
3. When I expand one section, the existing expanded section collapses. I hate this. First, if I want all of them open, I can't do that (this may be important on the library navigation). Second, if you have a large expanded section open, and you expand a smaller section that is below it, it sucks the menu back up above the screen, making you have to scroll up. For example, try opening std, then open core. To open core, you have to scroll way down. As soon as you open it, the menu gets sucked away.

I know your response will be "awaiting your PR" :) I'll try and see if I can fix at least the expansion problem.

The menu is a huge HUGE improvement, the old one was too subtle.

Also forums.

They are a usability disaster. Try click on "std" then on "etc". The menu disappears due to "std" being long.
