On the new http://localize.drupal.org/download page there is the big shiny button "Download translations" which leads to the very important page where to download core translation files.

To me and two other users i sent there, this button doesn't look like a clickable button though but much more like the header of the block/box on the right side of the page. (Screenshot before.png).

It would stand out much better if it were moved out of the grey box and to the left probably. (Screenshot after.png).

The page as I see it (on Mac OS X 10.6, with Safari) is slightly different.

Actually, the screenshot shown in before.png is the screenshot of http://localize.drupal.org/, not http://localize.drupal.org/download.

Of course you are right. It was late...

The issue stands however.

Actually this can probably be achieve by some tricky CSS. Not sure how it would behave in IE though.

#block-l10n_packager-download {
background: transparent;
position: absolute;
right: 310px;
width: 260px;
}

Also, this looks pretty broken on project pages and languages pages, such as http://localize.drupal.org/translate/projects/drupal. So looks like its not really applicable as a generic pattern while other pages probably have the same issue.

After considering other suggestions from some users / usability people, I simplified the actual download page and made that the new l.d.o front page. The language list items now point to the overview pages for the teams and downloads are the primary data now. The downloads button is still visible on other pages (such as translation project pages on l.d.o).

This button is now mostly gone from the interface, as the main navigation methods lead to downloads. New language team front pages are full of downloads. The button is now only present on the project pages to lead people coming from d.o via the "project translations" link on project pages (or anybody else coming in here not knowing where to look for the downloads). We will probably work this into an in-place download solution sooner or later however. Elimination of this button is in progress.
