Two color styles for Negative

CSS style sheets are here:

http://davensjournal.com/azure.css
http://davensjournal.com/azure-l.css

A sample of this is on my personal journal.

The difference between them? The first has the sidebar on the right, the other has the same sidebar on the left. That's the only difference.

Enjoy them.

Hey! I really like these.

Thank you very much.

For the record:

I'm claiming this. I haven't filed a bug yet as I'm working on conversion.

What does that mean, "I'm claiming this"?

I'm saying I'm working on converting it, adding it to the other themes, testing it, submitting it as a patch so that it can go live on the site as soon as possible. It's for other converters, patchers, etc. to know that someone's taking care of this. Am I clearer now? :)

Okay. Thank for that clarification. If you need anything, let me know.

I have spotted a couple bugs, but they are minor.

Thanks!

Minor bugs are still bugs. :) What's wrong?

1) the top navigation, where there is "Recent Entries, Archive," etc, it rolls over to a second line. I was trying to prevent that. I think it's because they put "Network" in there as a link, and that moved "Memories" and "Profile" to the next line.

Oh, I should specify that I'm on 1024x768, that's the best resolution my LCD/Laptop gets.

2) For some strange reason, the user name (in my case, "daven") moved to the left of the icon on the right hand bar of this Stylesheet. Before it was below the icon, but it moved. Looks odd and could probably be a bother for those who have longer user names. Not sure about the left hand version, but it was something I noticed.

Sorry for the very late answer

1) ~~It looks fine to me in your resolution using default font sizes. Are you using a custom font size?~~ Sorry. You're correct. I'll try to fix this as it doesn't happen with the default version.

2) I'm clueless about this. You may want to report it at Support as it also happens with the default version.

I've converted the right layout. Here's a preview: http://900degrees.dreamwidth.org/?s2id=97098 Would you tell me if everything looks fine? Is there anything which is not supposed to look like this?

BTW I had to remove the hacks for IE5 as it's not a version officially supported by Dreamwidth. I asked for confirmation about this and was told they should indeed be removed.

Your converted version looks good.

The only quibble is the extra padding space everywhere in between letters. I thought I had gotten rid of it all but some how it crept back in with the conversion.

As for the IE5, that was a legacy thing that was in the stylesheet. I hadn't put it in, didn't do any modification to it, and I use Firefox. If getting rid of it is what is necessary, that's cool.

In your CSS file, it's only in #secondary .module-header. You didn't modify it elsewhere. Should it be somewhere else as well?

It looks like it's been removed then because the negatives default stylesheet no longer has it.

Lemme take a look.

Oh, just FYI....

I can't do the whole S2 redesign and move of all the elements and so on that goes with making themes and layouts, but I can do the CSS colors and tweaking it to make it look better all day long. If you need someone to make "styles" of the layouts, let me know.

Hi daven, have you submitted your CLA yet? http://wiki.dwscoalition.org/notes/CLA

Just looked through my records, and I can't seem to find yours on file. We need it before we can use your layouts officially. Thanks :)

Also, if you'd like to write CSS for more styles that would be terrific! We can help you with moving things around (so you can test while you're applying the CSS), and we can also help with the s2-ization.

Okay, just read it and signed it for you. Sent it to Denise and she should have it soon.

Thanks for everything.

Is there a way I could get a test account that I can mess up the layout completely without having to buy a new ID?

Starting a new thread to keep things separate.

Here's the preview for the left version:

Okay, found it.

The styling for the top nav is defined in .module-navlinks ul, .module-navlinks li

I have this as the CSS in there now:

font-weight: bold;
font-variant: small-caps;
display: inline;
padding: 1em;
text-align: center;

As opposed to your modified stylesheet which says

font-weight: bold;
display: inline;
padding: 0.2em 1em 0.2em 0.5em;

for the same section.

The padding element seems to be the key.

The secondary module-header you mention above controls the groupings on the sidebar, "filters" "network" "syndicate" and so on.

gotta go do laundry, so I'll be back to this when I can.

Thanks.

Hmmm, no.

Here's what you have in your CSS file:

.module-navlinks ul, .module-navlinks li {
font-weight: bold;
font-variant: small-caps;
display: inline;
padding: 0.2em 2em;
}

Here's what I have in the Azure theme stylesheet:

.module-navlinks ul, .module-navlinks li {
font-variant: small-caps;
padding: .2em 1.1em;
}

I didn't repeat font-weight and display because it's in the default stylesheet so it'll get applied.

I changed the left/right padding to 1.1em because you mentioned it made the links display on two lines.

The code you think I have in the modified stylesheet is from the default stylesheet.

Edit: I may have misunderstood what this comment is about. I think it's in the wrong thread so I'm not sure what you're replying to. Is this about letter-spacing?

...yes, and the fact that it goes to a second line.

Nvmd. Just got back from the laundrymat, and I'm eating, so.... sometime later. ;-)

I know you didn't make a one-column version but there are minimal changes and as Negatives is (now?) available in one column I think it'd be nice to also have it with your theme. Here's what it looks like: http://900degrees.dreamwidth.org/?s2id=97123

Does it look like you'd like it to? Should I remove the margins? Change the width?

Edited 2009-10-24 19:35 (UTC)

Okay the one column puts all the meta data that is on the left or right to the bottom. Is that intentional?

Yes, that's what one-column means. :) There's no sidebar. Lots of layouts are available in one-column form. Some users like it better.

If you want to compare it with default one-column Negatives, here's a preview: http://900degrees.dreamwidth.org/?s2id=97106
