Okay, the neutral-colors version of the scheme is up. Everyone go take a look and tell me what you think; especially let me know if anything seems to be hard to read or not working or any such. (Ignore the .html files, they're obsolete, and click on the .shtml)
If no one has any more bug reports, I think I'm about ready to package all this up and pass it over to Squeaky for coding, and then we'll go live for beta testing!
One thing: does anyone have, or think they can produce, a good version of Tweak as a transparent gif? Alas, there are still enough IE5 users that a png transparency won't do. Shame, they're much better quality. My various efforts in Photoshop have run aground on the basic fact that gifs binary little buggers. My best version so far is still a bit rough at the edge.

Worksafe colorscheme up
I can make a transparent tweak, with a bit of feathering. Ever get the final height of the header gradient finalized for me? http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dd7nmkx_3 *nods* 111px, so Tweak can stay the size he is now. Alrighty. ♥ *headdesk* Capitalization helps. http://i162.photobucket.com/albums/t http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dd7nmkx_3 *uploads* Hm... Let me edit it, and then it'll be at the same link. XD; *nods* I'll make sure there's a useful class around them, that can be re-styled. I think that being able to include totally different icons would be neat, too, though, so I'll ask about that option as well. For the one scheme with the art deco background in the header (top of page), you can't read anything like the username or whatnot - maybe make it like a water-mark instead? I hope it is okay I just barge in to throw my opinion at you here. If not, my sincerest apologies beforehand. ;) Please do jump in! Thank you, I will, then. My comments - I'll be honest and say what I really want is Lynx with a couple more links, so this looks almost as busy to me as the old schemes :oP ! Still, I really appreciate IJ listening to its users and creating a more neutral scheme. P.S. Is the plan that this will be the default sitescheme? I understand if squeaky doesn't want to be pressured into changing things too much around here, but as far as first-time visitors go, a more neutral scheme may be more welcoming/less off-putting. *makes notes* I have been planning on doing a plain-text version; I'll roll my first go at that up with this idea. I /think/ I know how to do those old-style horizontal dropdowns with css; I'll experiment with it and see what I can come up with. Looking forward to seeing the plain-text version! Well, that's the trick, really, to only have the css be different. If it's all on one code-base, then there's only one additional function call that needs to be made: to the stylesheet. And that's pretty light-weight. As long as the basic template is designed to accommodate a growing list of possible sheets, we can keep adding new css-based schemes until the cows come home. Just wanted to echo Skuf -- I'd like a colorless version, too. Currently I use Lynx, and a more functional version of that would be perfect! These remind me of early LJ and GJ and I love them. Sometimes simplicity is the best way to go. Excellent! The plan so far is to accumulate schemes as we go without sacrificing anything anyone is using, so all three and more should be available. For the one scheme with the art deco background in the header (top of page), you can't read anything like the username or whatnot - maybe make it like a water-mark instead? blasphemy_blue is working on that one; you should reply to one of her comments to offer suggestions. I'd really love to see a simple scheme available in many colors to suit everyone's interests. A long time ago, we had a black adn lime green (personally, I love these two colors together), but we went to an orange and gray theme. We could even use our current them and just make a few color scheme changes. Sometimes simple works? That... is not really simple. As the current theme is set up, no one can change anything without changing some templates buried in the guts of the site, and no one change is going to make everyone happy. That's why I'm putting this much work into re-framing the menus--so that there will be easier ways for people to apply their own colors and styles to the site code once I'm done. I'm producing complicated so other users can have simple--it's a bit counter-intuitive, I know. I understand - I'm sure squeaky appreciates all that you guys do. If you need any graphics or whatever, let me know! :) *pleased* Good! I'm hoping people will like the expanded menus; I tried to include a link to just about everyplace in there somewhere. Just want to say I love the neutral colours. I know it seems similar to one lj had, but it doesn't send me screaming for the hills and I think it's because the drop-down menus are simple. Good! I did get a request for that sideways drop-down on another style, but most of them will be upright. We'll have something for everyone by the time we're done! (Anonymous)

Discussion of such events is unlikely to stop it from happening. I reckon people should be educated instead on understanding why these events happened in the first place.canada goose coat price (http://www.cheap-canadagoose.com/canada-goose-womens-montebello-mid-grey-coat-p-3.html) |
