Re: FLASH: New Macromedia.com site

[Thorvald Neumann]

Hejsan!


It just happened that I returned to the MM site today morning and was

quite surprised. ;) A new look...


I did not see any dropdown menus (because I am using Netscape 4.61 it

seems); the contrasts between the colours are not very well chosen and

the CI typo is too small and not good to read, perhaps they should

have used a bold face for the tiny typographics.


It seems to me, that someone just developed the site on a Mac and did

not test it on other OS and definitely not on different browser

versions. I would send this design right back to the "designer".


The overall usability is o.k., but works in a different way than the

former MM site. I think you have to get used to it.


BTW, just tested the site with Opera 4 Beta 4:


a. when cloaked as IE 5, a white screen appears, nothing else;

b. only cloaked as Mozilla 3 or 4.72 gets the site


Best wishes,
