New layout!

[annathepiper]

Since the Quick Reply comment box on the Tranquility II layout apparently makes text so tiny that it's unreadable, and since I can't quite figure out how to customize it, I am now trying a new layout. I've tweaked it some to try to improve the readability of the general text, though I need to do a bit more to it to really make it work.

Let me know what you think, folks.

It's not easy being green. :P

Joke, dislike of the color scheme, or both? ;)

Joke. You've seen my LJ right?? I'm hardly qualified to give 'digital decorating' advice.

I can read what I'm writing. That's gotta be good. :-)

Somehow I get the impression that you like green...

[annathepiper]

Yay, legibility!

I do indeed like green, though this is a modified version of the Back to Nature theme that comes with this layout. I'm not sure I like all this green, though, and some of these shades seem to clash. I'll have to tweak it to make it more harmonious at some point.

(Though later. Because if I blow the rest of the afternoon on this, I won't get anything written!)

legibility happens
tho that post-title-bar thingy w/ the back/forward/memory buttons is a TAD citrusy-lime-neony in opera 8.5 on winxp
BUT, fwiw, the text sizes all work :)

I think there might be a weird layout issue of some kind, some difference between Opera and Firefox. The color you're talking about I think is actually the background color I've currently got plugged in for the title and date bars on various posts and not actually anything to do with the navigation toolbar.

When I look at a post of mine in Firefox, that toolbar actually shows up after that bar... but if I look at it in Opera, then it's nested within it. So clearly there's some sort of difference in how the two browsers handle the CSS. IE behaves the same way Firefox does.

I'll have to tweak it some more, clearly.

Yeah, I'm not terribly happy with the current color scheme either, but I'm not sure yet what I'm going to do about it. I need to figure out what shades I really want. There are other tweaks I want to do as well--for example, when I'm replying to this comment, I see empty parentheses underneath your user pic.
