[TYPO3-doc] Requests for styling of documentation

[Sabine Hueber]

Hi Jigal,

I would take the Share to use with the bigger headlines. This works 
fine. The smaller ones could be set in an easy to read sans-serif font. 
We already had some suggestions which are both good readable and open 
source.

The problem with the TYPO3-orange I already had, while designing the 
wiki in the old corporate style. My solution was to take 3 shades of 
orange (the normal TYPO3-orange, a little darker version and a more 
darker version)

The user nearly doesn´t notice that there are different shades, but the 
smaller headlines are readable much more better because the contrast is 
higher. This solution worked quite good.

Usually corporate designs have some color scemes. This I miss within the 
corporate design of TYPO3. Don`t get me wrong, I don`t mean several 
completly different colours wildly mixed all in a tumble, e.g. blue, 
red, yellow, etc. This would weaken the TYPO3 corporate design. But to 
generate diagramms and other publications it`s necessary to have 
suitable color sequences which work for all possible usecases and which 
have a strong recognition value to the TYPO3-Brand.

Cheers,
Sabine
