Link formatting in the Fluid blog and elsewhere

[Moore, Kathleen E]

Underlining links on Confluence seems like an improvement.

 

I completely agree that Fluid's gray-green doesn't provide much contrast
to black text. I've been working on formatting for the Open Source
Design Pattern Library, in Drupal, and on many of these pages almost
everything would be underlined if that were the rule. There, I've
brightened the green and underlined a few cases where the links seem
least intuitive.

 

It seems to me that the Fluid colors are fine for an identity system,
but trying to use them as the entire color scheme for functional sites
doesn't work very well.

Subject: Link formatting in the Fluid blog

 

Here's an little issue but I thought I'd get the groups feedback and
permission since I want to change is someone else's design. 

 

The link color in the Fluid blog is way too similar to the base text
color and links get lost. I would like to add an underline to links in
the blog. An oft-ignored standard, not as pretty, but not ugly either. 

 

Any objections?
