Is there a word for muscle memory but for your eyes?

After so many years it's going to take a while to get used to but first impression is that it looks nice and readable. Code snippets look much better.

The new design reminds me of mint ice cream. In a good way.

I was actually browsing the docs when the change went through and did a triple take.

Memory?

I liked, have only two criticisms: Content seems sparse, maybe due to line-height and/or font-size. I also get a "too much green" feeling in my eyes. The overall change was positive, imo.

Looks good! Maybe I should start a new Django Project again.

OT:

I know that Django 1.6+ can be used with Python 3.4 but is Django 1.7.1 written in Python 2.7 or 3.4?

I zoom the page down to 75% to browse the docs, it gives the same spacing as the old layout.

I may just be noticing an old feature, but did the search feature on the prior site return source code in the results?

I think that is a great feature, but it's going to confuse beginners. The first three results for the query 'models' are links to source code.

Maybe the search results could be tagged with a type icon and name (Documentation, Tutorial, Source...) in addition to the document excerpt.
