OK, the current attempt has no gradient at all. Probably too flat? -- Andrei

My first time using bugzilla: https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=14006

Please could anyone tell if I did right?

I agree about SASS and other tools. There are so many now you have to learn all of them (or none, in my case). Many years ago I wrote primitive script to do what SASS eventually did for CSS. The added features were nice, but barley justified the added complexity and build process. As soon as I joined a team I abandoned it completely. They can be useful particularly for larger/long-term projects, but it's a steep upfront cost and is particularly frustrating for people who just need to make minor changes.

I was worried about that, but I actually had no problem. I'm on Windows. I cloned your better-menus, had dub build dpl-docs.exe, and ran the win32 makefile.

Here's where I'm at. The menus don't use javascript (except when the screen gets so small it needs a button to open the navigation, the button uses js). It scales with screen size and should work on mobile (untested) - I changed doctype to html5 and added metatags for mobile.

I think I know why no javascript. Currently the *.js files are loaded from /js/, i.e. absolute path. Change that to relative path and it'll work.

All - what do you think of dropping the background image and use the DaveG's telluric background for menu?

Answer, yes!  vibe.d is where it's at.

Much better in my opinion.

I like it, and also the resizing stuff covers what I did so if his changes go through, I can close my PR too. That's a win.

I am slowly, thanks.
Really I just need to start working getting Cmsed and friends back into good shape for GSOC.
