Themes:
Karting / Preview (shown in one-column-split mode with fewer modules)
Regatta / Preview (shown in three-columns-sides mode)
Swimming Pool / Preview (shown in one-column mode with fewer modules)
Tennis Court / Preview (shown in two-columns-right mode)

This style ate my mind so there will be more themes once I grow a new brain. :)


Testing would be appreciated as well as feedback on one-column modes as I wasn't sure if putting modules in the below-header and above-footer areas was the right thing to do. I'm not sold on any of the names either so suggestions are welcome.

This is a great style! It's got just the right amount of detail so it looks sleek and fancy but neither too fussy nor too sterile.

The only thing I think I would like to change is to have drop shadows on the modules too in Regatta and Tennis Court. Since the entries and the header and footer all have them I keep expecting the "sidebars" to have them too.

Thank you! I try to keep things from being 'overwhelming' so I'm glad it worked for you.

Ha! I debated over that actually because I was afraid it would be too much. The other thing is that I can't make the little punch mark decoration have a similar shadow (I mean I don't know how to do it in PS but maybe I'll find a solution).

Oh I think I managed to figure it out. Could you have another look at Regatta and tell me what you think please?

[turlough]

Yes! This is so much better! The contrast between the "flat" look of the modules and the 3D look of the rest of the elements on the page was just too distracting for me before.

Glad it looks better! Thanks for your very constructive feedback. <3
