> This is why I disagree with the notion that style is only skin-deep. Semantics, but I think you are agreeing with your parent that there should be something deeper than the gloss applied in this redesign. That design must go more than skin-deep. Arguably the word “style” could refer to paint jobs, so your statement was fairly confusing. I fully agree with your comments regarding the bizarre amount of visual attenti…

Tried out a more semantic redesign inspired by original submission, OP comment, and the attached screen: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3870982

I've tried one too that I think should really be how HN redesign should look like.

I'm sorry, but this is a perfect example of the difference between design and eye candy. Often, people wonder why I spend $50,000 a year going to design school, when I can learn how to make things that are just as shiny by reading psdtuts.com. The difference is that style is only skin-deep. It's superficial. It's an added bonus on top of design . Design, on the other hand, is the core of the product: how it functions…

This is much better. Get rid of the superfluous numbering and put in the comments there.

So far the best. The 3 most important things are the largest: comments, link to story, upvote (though I would've moved upvote to the right of story link--but that's just me, I don't believe in upvoting anymore).

I think you're missing the point here SeoxyS. I just put an initial concept out there for everyone to see and maybe get a flavour of how a redesign/reskinning of HN may look. I understand there's a lot to be desired and I haven't sat down yet and put the time into fleshing everything out properly, hence this will probably be iterated on a thousand times.

I appreciate the feedback, and will definitely take it into consideration.

Your design puts too much emphasis on the points. It is important but by far not the most important.

*How about something a little more mobile friendly?

At the very least, a pad on clickable areas would be much appreciated (seeing the comments on a post or upvoting takes a lot of skill to hit that link with a finger point).

The vertical 'information density' will drop a bit but people don't have much trouble scrolling.
