[Python-Dev] Playing with a new theme for the docs, iteration 2

In the header next to "Python v3.3a1 documentation" there is a
"ยป" symbol, which suggests something can be expanded.  Knowing
that there are many versions of the documentation, I thought it
might bring up a menu of versions.  But clicking does nothing.  Is
that intentional?  I guess it's supposed to mean "go to top" but that
wasn't obvious to me.

I think the clickable areas in the header and footer should be
indicated with the usual coloring (either the scheme you currently
use, or perhaps as Ben suggests blue and purple as in "traditional"
HTML documents).  I agree that what you do looks nice and is
sufficiently functional once you realize it, but I've seen a lot of
research that indicates that up to 60% of users can't find all the
links on a page unless they're explicitly marked.  (In one focus
group 4 of 14 users never found a menu that took up 40% of
the area of the page!)

My first impression of the "questionable feature" that the
sidebar is aligned with the scroll position when expanded is
that it's useful.

It looks pretty good without CSS, too!
