I just checked out this new template and I don't want to insult anyone but I seriously do not like how it looks. It looks like a total amateur design.
Please put the original one back as the default template.
There are some parts I do like, such as the wider page but all the fading and stuff feels like you put a crap load of fancy and useless stuff in there. It's like you created a PowertPoint presentation with all the fade in/out and WordArt text you could find. The page does not feel professional at all.
So once again, please put the original back. If you want to use this new layout that's your own choice, you can even keep it on the repository as an example, but seriously don't use this as the default template.
OKAY, OKAY, HOLD YOUR HORSES!
This is the second, 'are you serious' incident - the first being xoft and bearbin's proposed GitHub move.
To address you guys' concerns:
1. The fade effects can easily be sped up or removed completely.
2. The header can easily be reduced in size by removing the text and reducing the logo, or even make an automatic anchor jump to the content
3. The original logo can be restored (admittedly, converted to base, it is much smaller than the new logo)
4. I didn't use any WordArt...:P You're right on the amateur count - I'm not very experienced with CSS.
5. The navigation bar issues could be fixed by organising everything by plugin name, then a submenu for the options, though this may require C++ support which I assume you will be unwilling to do. I could make everything smaller, or even revert with difficulty to vertical. Surely even with vertical, you will encounter issues with finding something once the list gets large?
6. Please tell me what else.
Are you sure you wouldn't like to give it a chance?
Thanks for the support, I knew you would like it...
