UX Improvement - New repository button

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Login to blit and go to repositories page
2. Notice the "new repositories" page.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
For a new users - and I have got many - it is a pain to find this tiny 
repositories button. A Big and clearly visible button will help from Ux 
improvement perspective and will not be a very big issue to fix.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.5.0

Please provide any additional information below.

I meant the 2nd steps as "Notice the 'new repository' button in right top 
corner."

In 1.6.0 the "new repository" link is also available from the user menu which 
is on every page.

The menu item in 1.6.x should be easy enough to find/discover.

Hi James,

I loaded 1.6.0 today to see the menu. While I agree that user can use the menu 
from the menu loaded from "User icon", I don't think it's intuitive that we 
have new repository creation action under user menu. User profile action is 
intuitive under user menu. 

Mostly ppl would find intuitive to navigate to list of repositories and then 
hit, "new repo" button. Fixing the button to use a bigger font and giving 
button class is quite trivial in my opinion.

Requesting a re-thought.

The attached image is what I'd be willing to do.  If that is satisfactory, I'll 
make the change.

Absolutely.. I think that should do. It would be a small fix but I think it 
would help ppl locate the button more quickly...

Thanks for re-consideration!!
