Global changes:

* Reduce title size to 28sp
* Change link colour to blue #00acff 
* Make tapping the title link (vanityfair.com) open the original article
* Change horizontal divider to stop in the middle of the screen
* Change horizontal divider colour / size to #777777 and 1dp thick


Serif-specific changes:

* Only apply serif typeface to titles and content. (leave URL, author / date / caption text in Open Sans)
* Make article title bold

Here's a quick put together of everything (I think) ... the only thing I didn't do was with |pressing something to go back something| .... we can already press the back key or click the close-readermode button in the awesomebar to do this ...

So, what am I missing?

I don't really like the fact that we're making another element here just for the border, but I'm not sure how we would otherwise make the border only extend for half of the width of the page. Can we at least try to get rid of this <br> and the <div> that wraps the .domain-border <div>?

You should use "Open Sans" instead of "Droid Sans". I'm also not sure we want the other fallbacks besides sans-serif.

We probably want font-size to be in em, if that's what line-height is in.

Looks good, just need to keep the title style for sans font untouched I think.

You should only apply these new properties to the ".header > h1" element when reader is using serif fonts. The style for sans uses Open Sans Light and should probably be kept untouched. See screenshot.

I don't consider these comments specially useful to be honest. I'd probably remove them.

Couple comments so far Mark:

* Still need to change the link colour to blue
* The article title should be "bold" in the serif view, but "light" in the sans serif view.

Would love to try a build with these changes, when you're ready.

Ok, this one with the change to article title font weight based on latest requirement clarifications ... not sure whats left with changing links to blue, that was in the last patch ... are we saying the same thing?

Quick test build:

Hi Mark, couldn't get this build to install. :(

Try uploading again?
Odd, loaded and instakked onto my S3 ...

Let;s try to provide it through TRY server

Almost there!

* Still need to change the link colour to blue. This seems to be done in content, but not for the one above the article title, so we need to update that.
* The serif article title needs to be set back to bold. Something must have changed there when you flipped the sans-serif one to be Light.

Would love to try a build with these changes, when you're ready.
In comment #12 ibarlow mentions "change the link colour to blue ... the one above the article title" ... that's the (now half page width) underline below the page title?

Can you clarify the story here ... it's not an actual link ... we talked about changing it to be one, but I didn't see the case for it ...

Sorry, something that got lost in the shuffle at some point... this should indeed be a link, and it should load the webpage that the Reader article is based on. 

Not crucial functionality given that there is also the icon in the title bar, but a nice detail for people who try tapping on it.

Attached patch Patch (v4) (obsolete) — Splinter Review
Ok then, asking anyone for more feedback to make sure I'm clear now on the req's ... later will ask lucasr? ibarlow? for review ...

Summary of changes as I understand the request (and believe this patch provides)

* Reduce article title size to 28sp
* The article title should be "bold" in the serif view, but "light" in the sans serif view

* Change link colours to blue #00acff

* Make tapping the title *link*/domain open the original article
* Change the title *link*/domain horizontal divider to stop in the middle of the screen, and have colour/size of #777777 and 1dp thick

* Only apply serif typeface to article title and content. (leave URL, author / date / caption text in Open Sans)

No need to do this in javascript. You can accomplish the same with plain CSS.

Tapping on the domain takes to the original article? Nice.

Replace the js code for handling 'heavy' with something like:

.serif > .header > h1 {
  font-weight: 700;
}
