[publican-list] RFE for Publican Brands

Thu Oct 7 01:46:56 UTC 2010

Here is a mock-up for examples. I've done the following:

1. Added a white inner div to hold the programlisting and any accompanying text.
2. Placed the title of the example at the top of the outer div rather than the bottom.
2a. Darkened the color of the example title text. I think this color would be better for section headings and wherever else it is used.
3. Added a darker grey border around the programlisting to make it stand out more against the white background. This is very sloppy and would be a 1px grey border ideally.
4. Made the width of the programlisting block (in theory) the same as the width of the text beneath it.

I'm undecided on whether the programlisting box should have rounded edges or not. I've sort of left one corner rounded, and I'm looking for comment either way.

The color codes used are:
Example background: #dc9f2e (same as always)
Inner div background: #ffffff
Example title: #6c1313
Programlisting background: #eeeeee
Programlisting background border: #c5c5c5
