Hello,
I have tried the new PHP chm manual for 1 day. I like the new content a lot better, but
I agree that the design could be improved.
Here's my feedback:
1. The background bitmap looks tacky (enlarged, jagged, etc.). I don't want to
download unneeded images either. Just HTML please.
2. The comments are in red/orange. This makes the comments the most visible
portion of help, instead of the actual online manual. Also the comments are uneven in
quality, some good, some out-of-date, some have bugs in the sample source code. To
make it the most colorful part of the page is too distracting. Mild grey/yellow tones
would be better for comments.
3. The HTML on a 1024x768 screen, it doesn't fit too well, and I have to scroll
horizontaly to read the manual. Perhaps break up a manual page into 2 html tables.
Upper table is contains the main manual, the lower table which is stretchable contains
the comments.
Regards, John Lim
