Theme Update

Posted by - April 10, 09

For the first time, I’m using a non-default theme-base. D; It’s slightly modified, and I added the previous category styling, but will likely leave it be aside from some font-colors, etc. Structurally it’s decent (not what I had in mind, but it’s simple).

So, hmm, that’s about it. The sidebar effects are via some simple gradient classes I cooked up for another project March 2008. This won’t affect or stimulate me to post more or be more relevant, but cheers anyway!

    Nice! It’s an eye-pleasingly simple monochrome, and considering your usual anime blog, that’s really quite a good thing.

  2. Ryan A says:

    Indeed, the usual was far too much of a mutation from the original Kubrick theme (2.5 years of mutation D:). Messy and uncoordinated. Monochrome yields a solid medium for using basic colors, so that’s a plus.

    Nice! I like the simplicity.

  4. Ryan A says:

    I agree Caitlin! Less distractions ^^

    Well this is a fresh look! I like it, and it looks like it would make reading easier.

    Hooray for bigger font?

    @ETERNAL
    Hopefully, I can’t seem to figure out what it looks like in native windows or osx D: But I do try to have the win fonts available in linux.

    @aurabolt
    Is the font bigger? I’m not sure haha. the stuff on the sidebar is still tiny, but the titles are larger I believe. I know this theme isn’t resizing on percentage, so maybe it is larger.. dunno

    Did you secretly go to the GODLY school of web development/design. Because your mad skills about the place are suspiciously awesome.

  9. Ryan A says:

    LOL mellow bunny! Nooooo, I just found this theme and made it thinner, added a background, some gradients, and a js effects. ^_^ Thankfully it was accomplished without spending a great deal of time.

    Also, I started using jquery on melative, which was nice, but messed up some of my methods D:

    Less winging, more chewing!

    i loved the layout of your theme, ryan. clear and sharp. (and good width for me to read too on my office screen :P).

    however, u might want to consider the font color for the sidebar categories when u hover over it. maybe white or some bright color

    ps: added u to my blogroll, wld love to have a link xchange with u

    cheers

    Oi oOgA! I thought I had you in my blogroll, dammit. I know I have Banzai Effect in my feed reader OPML. Added to links ^^

    So, the category font-color or all the other links? I’ll change the categories to white and see how it goes. Thank you.
