@burt I think the new images are much better Gary but I'm not really crazy about the tractor. It seems rather dark and a bit dated to me. Not what I would call a clean, uplifting or compelling image but hey that is probably just me.

@Dan Cole TY

I wonder about using the second two images of the three, but then having the `carousel text` on the left hand side of them (where the image is quite flat, looks ripe for text) - that might work well and look good.

Thoughts (anyone!)?

@burt
I like the first image Gary but I think Gemini could do a better job with the second and third ones and I would be happy to see what it might come up with you like....maybe others could take a stab at it too!

@burt Gary here are a few more images of just the fruits and vegetables shown on the demo site. The first is a full stack, and the second and third are separate stacks of either just the fruits or just the vegetables. They were generated with a simple prompt using Gemini and nano banana pro. Nano Banano tossed (pun intended) the last two in an effort to impress me.

Just food for thought. :D

Dis-like the modal pop-out search, however the image search add-on works well with it with items images being sized nicely, where the alternative search in S04e07-1.1.0.0 looks awful.

Also the search in admin [Categories] used to be ready available now its a [mouse move click] [mouse move click]

And could the link in admin [Your Shop] just open the shop page in a new browser tab.

1. The Navbar Search Box
- this was updated to a modal popup

99% of feedback I get on this, people hate it.

2. Introduction of a second Horizontal Navbar
- with categories and manufacturer
I too do not like the modal popup.

I am still working on the Phoenix (the software) new look.
I've been sidetracked with other stuff, including the phoenix (the site) new look.

I'm thinking to perhaps base the `new look for the software` on the `new look site`.
Thoughts ?

I think that would make sense and help creating a stronger sense of the "brand"

AI says this is a very good product page layout

Thoughts? I am trying to make a TPL for the `software` that is more or less similar to the new look for the `site`...

I like it and it looks very similar to my product page layout. Seems pretty standard to me.
