new style for Sage standard documentation
Minh Nguyen
Ticket #9850 [1] contains some major changes to the HTML style of the
Sage standard documentation. Among others is the new Sage logo which
is the same as the current one, but with a transparent background.
Thanks to Niles for much of the original ideas and the transparent
background logo. I like to invite you all to look over the screenshots
attached to the above ticket as a preview of things to come. As the
ticket makes major changes to the visual style of the documentation, I
think we need more eyes to look over it to make sure that the new
style is pleasing to look at.

When I looked at http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/attachment/ticket/9850/walkthrough.png
my eye spotted some details which leave room for some more
improvement.
1. The grey background of the search button (with the tekst "GO" on
it) should be a darker shade of the "blue/purple" used all over sage
docs.
2. I really like the change of the ugly pale green to pale yellow for
the background of the code blocks. The lines above and below these
boxes however should also change their color, from green to a darker
shade of yellow.
3. Locations like "SAGE_ROOT/blah/blahblah" and "/home/bla/di/
blahblah" have a light grey background which is very similar but not
the same as the pale shade of purple/blue used all over in sage. This
should be exactly the same color, or a significant different color
still fitting the color scheme.
4. The grey lines, (one is right of the navigation bar and the others
are below the section headers) sort of only half fit the color scheme.
I don't think it's very ugly right now, but maybe the darker shade of
purple used in the background on the top of the page, or the color of
the purple line around the search box would fit better.
I think the style issues 1 and 2 really should get adressed. I find 3
and 4 less important because they are less eye catching.

I have changed that to a pale, light grayish blue to be consistent
with the colour of the header and footer. The hex code is #B8B9F6.

Done. I have changed the border colour from green to a pale, light
grayish amber. The corresponding hex code is #E8D898.

Done. The colour used for shading commands or code within text is now
consistent with the colour used for the background of the navigation
bar. It is a light bluish gray with hex code #EAEAF8.

This is something I'm unable to fix.
