[ZWeb] New version 4.1.4c

[Andrew Sawyers]

Just a note, on my laptop I cannot see the shading on the left 'gutter' or
spotlight section at all.....so it doesn't look as expected with the current
shading color choices.
I've been gleaning over the thread, so I'm not sure if commenting on 'minor'
layout things are appropriate......or if that's coming later....
I definately like where it's heading and think everyone's doing a great
job...but here are my comments:

    1.  The center of the page starts at the top with two columns (What is
Zope and Spotlight on...) and then for the rest of the page everything is
just 1 column.  This and other elements make the page at first look
cluttered and unbalanced.

    2.  The Info for... header in right 'gutter' has a line under it, but
then none of the other headers in the right 'gutter' follow this pattern.

    3.  Why not make better use of the header navbar for top level sections?
Isn't it pretty common knowledge the site logo usually takes one 'home', and
what does 'Help' mean?  Help with the site? Zope Help?  At my screen
resolution, there's ton's of space there that could be utilized better
possibly.

Anyhow, just a few comments.
I'm really liking it.
Thanks,
Andrew

I *really* dislike this version !

But it's hard to discuss about tastes and colors :-)
