I love, love, love those rotating icons. I keep intending to poke at something similar for my own use. They're so FUN!

Night Out is my favorite (Purple. Shocking! XD ) but all of these are gorgeous.

Right?!

O Glorious Purple. You Never Disappoint.

Thank you!

Oh, so beautiful! Especially Atlantic and Morning Dew. ♥

[ninetydegrees]

Thank you! I wasn't sure those would work so I'm very glad you like them. <3

Wow, those are nice. Great work!

Critique-wise, I'm not sure I like the font choice for headers, and while the icons are fun it's not immediately obvious what they are for. Especially to someone who's not used to Dreamwidth (you have to know it has a "Memories" feature for the purpose of the "brain" icon to click).

Thank you!
These are simply new color themes for a style which is already live. I can't change it now but the good news is you can change fonts or icons via the customizing interface if you want to. Impact is one my favorite fonts actually both because I like the way it looks and because it's one of the few fonts which exist on every OS but I know it's not always to everybody's taste. Yeah, it's always hard to pick icons for things which don't have any on the site. In the end what makes sense to me won't make sense to someone else. There's no way around that. Also I wanted to have a little fun here. ;) I'm not sure what you mean with the brain icon specifically though since it *is* used for Memories.

Gorgeous themes! I had forgot how much I loved Summertime.

[ninetydegrees]

You know what? So had I. XD Thank you!!!

OMG! There's now light text on dark background and super high contrast!

My eyes and I thank you immensely!

Thank you and your eyes!

I love how your layouts look like paper. Your journal layout is one of my favorite layouts I have seen on this site so far :)

[ninetydegrees]

Thank you so much! I love paper and cardboard and collages so I guess it comes from there. I really want to make my own layout official one day. It's a bit of a tricky one and I don't have all the issues resolved yet.
