A change of look The basic form of the LWN site was first laid out in early 1998, with some
tweaks when the site code was replaced in 2002; since then, it has been
mostly static. Meanwhile, the web has moved on, leaving LWN looking
increasingly dated, especially on small-screen devices. We have been
working (sporadically) on a new layout for the last year and some, and many
readers have helped us out by testing it. Now the time has come to switch
to the new mode by default.
Hopefully, the result is a cleaner screen and much better usability on
mobile devices.
