I like it a lot. I'll keep it on for now, and as I get deeper into it, let you know if I have any issues.

OMG! Ubercart.org is all grown up!

Seriously, you now have a 'mature' theme that will reflect better on the product.

The forums as you know need a bit of work. (I don't think the blue works - but I'm using a monitor that's a bit broken [I don't see reds on it] so that may just be me. Adding icons to the "add new comment" "login" "quote" etc links would be nice (I believe that humans like to click pictures.)

I love the 'aquaish' header, too!

I agree, sorry guys. Is there a way we can choose our own theme in our account?

I think the new theme looks tight.

I'm a fan of the fresh look. I think at first glance this theme makes Ubercart.org look like a Drupal site, where the old theme was a little less obvious...but I don't consider that a bad thing. The homepage is going to be key, so I guess that will end up getting the majority of the tinkering. One idea I had that I'd find useful there is to see a logged in User's recent activity based on their Track page.

A lil' bug I noticed was at the top of the 'Installing Ubercart' pages. The top line of (for Ubercart beta & Drupal 5.x) is getting cut off for me in Firefox.

Hey Ryan and all.

I dont like it. But i'll explain why to make this criticism of mine a little bit constructive.

As someone else wrote before (cant see who without clicking back on my browser - really hate that ) the new template makes Ubercart look ... Uberdated.

And it's not the template's fault, because Pixture is nice. Just check this screenshot: http://drupal.org/node/250059

As you see on the screenshot using default "drupal colors", they dont contrast blue with more blue, they put blue against black. And then they have blue tonalities for the menus, etc.

On our case, we have orange on top, orange on the menu bar, more orange on the side menus, some brown on the links, and more orange on the footer. This is like a bad Tang commercial!

Blue is like the sea, the sky, coolness and stuff.
Orange and brown is like.. you know..

I'm not saying to ditch the orange color, just make it work against a good color, like gray or purple. Purple could work, maybe, if played well.

Blue is also fine. Actually, the Orange/Blue combo is on the Ubercart logo.

Give this baby some web 2.0 edge!

are there any plans of using the project module for the contributions. with the project module issues etc for a contribution would be much more structured

i've used the project module for an intranet site and it works pretty good imho

@tom-d: I've got a vector logo, but it is kinda blurry... I'd love it if you could sharpen that up somehow. PM me your e-mail address, and I can send you the file.

Regarding the Web 2.0 look... I'm actually not a big fan of it. I guess that's coming through in the design change. But I'm also not a designer, so I'm dependent on the best efforts of others and tweak as necessary. I'm actually using the blue Pixture theme on my blog, and I'm not sure it looks as sharp as that screenshot. I can pass around the modified version of Pixture I'm using if someone wants to give the primary links row color some love or toy around with other combinations. I prefer the black row w/ the blue theme, but it just didn't look right with the orange.

My main beefs w/ the 2.0 look are font size and wasted space. We simply couldn't get any info on the screen. For example, looking at the front page now vs. before, there's actually useful information "above the fold." Before in 1024x768 resolution, we had the logo, some unhelpful quick links (I say unhelpful b/c less than 1% of our visitors used them based on the Google Site Overlay), and the top halves of the news/forum blocks. Now there's actually a description of the project on the front page (a must) and room for a little more info and possible space for sponsor links or something.

So... still a work in progress, and keep those comments coming.

I think it's important to remember that this is a business site and its purpose is to get information to people as efficiently as possible - even if it means it wont look ubercool.

People are here to learn about Ubercart, not to marvel in the sites css stylesheet.

oh wow! i not around for a few weeks and a new überlook greets me. Ü now, i've always said i love orange. so no question that i like the colors. but we seriously need to do something about the blue forums. it doesn't go. and come to think of it, neither do the sharp forum corners -- they don't go with the nice rounded corners of the right nav.

but orange makes me happy. so im biased about the overall look.

Looks really cool, just dislike the fuzziness of the UC logo in the top left corner. Keep up the good work.

Looking way better, and your query seemed to do the trick, ie: didn't have to clear the cache to see the new version.

hows panels 2 intergration with this theme working out?

I mention this because i had some issues with the sidebars getting pushed off the page on smaller screensizes.
